I think this all depends on the context in which the word "witness" is used.  In the system, you have  a defendant (the person charged), the victim or complaining witness (the person who suffered as a result of the criminal act), and witnesses (people with direct knowledge about the incident).  With this in mind, Zimmerman would be the defendant, and Martin would have been the victim.  Yeah, I know, hard to think of Martin as a victim given the circumstances.

OK, gotcha! ;)
