It will also be interesting to find out the precise time that Martin departed the 7-11 store versus the first sighting by Zimmerman.
I have a feeling this will show Martin was loitering in the area, in the rain, when he could have proceeded straight home.
It was weeks before this hit the major news. It's all about "his son" and votes. Disgusting !!
More yellow journalism.

I find it interesting, in several aspects, that GZ only fired one shot.
If I were in a similar situation, I would fire at least twice.
BTW, I am an observant pacifist and do not even harm insects, I pick them up by the wings and escort them outside.
“Even if he did pick that fight, of course, that didn’t necessarily give Zimmerman the right to shoot him.”
No...George should have allowed Martin to beat him to death.
Then none of these loudmouths would care about who killed who, or why.
This whole thing is going to shake out sooner or later. I would bet that Zimmerman followed Martin until the 911 dispatcher told him he didn’t need to do that. Then Martin Jumped Zimmerman at or near his vehicle where the struggle ensued. I will bet the Martin’s GF knows a whole lot more then she is telling. She may have even prodded martin to go back and confront Zimmerman (just my speculation) It will be interesting how intensely the defense will press Martins GF. At any rate, I would bet that Zimmerman will get off and the race hustlers will have there excuse to start rioting. The question is, will it happen before or after the election?
What kills me is Zimmerman is being held in jail and the evidence I’ve seen so far prove him innocent. Why hasn’t he been released on bail under his own recognizance? I’d get another lawyer for sure!
Snips from the article:
7:11:41 p.m “He’s running” says Zimmerman
7:11:56 p.m “Are you following him?” asks the police dispatcher
7:12:15 p.m. the wind noises have stopped and his breathing has returned to normal as he discusses with the police dispatcher where responding officers should meet him
7:13:12 p.m. he interjects, “I don’t know where this kid is.”
7:13:41 p.m. Zimmerman hangs up with police
7:16:11 p.m. first 911 emergency calls from neighbors reporting their fight
7:16:56 p.m., more than five minutes after Trayvon starts running, sound of a single gunshot in the background of a 911
***fatal altercation between Zimmerman and Martin takes place only about 80 yards from Zimmerman’s vehicle — 100 yards from the home where Martin was staying
*** 7:13:12 p.m. he interjects, “I don’t know where this kid is.”..... Where is Martin? At just a normal walking pace of three miles per hour, he would be home by the time Zimmerman hangs up with police at 7:13:41 p.m.
Here is an amazingly fair account of the timeline of events in the Chicago Tribune. Albeit a blog in the CT. It’s not going to help the prosecution much at all.
