Timeline question:

Per the dispatcher transcripts, the time elapsed between when George said “He’s running”, and the end of his call with the dispatcher is 1:59.

So, Martin had at least 1:59 to outrun Zimmerman....probably more, but undeniably 1:59.

I measure 530 feet from Zimmerman’s truck to the condo Martin was staying at.

The average walking speed of a young person (per Wikipedia) is 3.31 mph - 3.37 mph.

But Martin had enough time to walk at a liesurely 3.04 mph, and make it home. Jogging or sprinting, of course, would get him there even quicker.

Doesn’t this show that Martin didn’t want to go home...but lingered outdoors, setting up a confrontation wiith Zimmerman?

Probably decided to pull around behind Zimmerman and pull an knock-out from behind.

Another post at CTH a year ago documented very clearly that TM either waited in the bushes or more likely doubled back from the house to jump GZ. If the defense needs to put on a case, I’m sure we’ll see it posted here at some point.

If one can believe the testimony of Miss Double Wide Neck - Martin did in fact make it to father’s girlfriend;s home. Only to leave and pursue Zimmerman so he could attempt to murder him.

And most people I know step it up when they are trying to beat the rain.
