I did not realize it was 3AM when this took place. That makes the excuse that I heard as to why Martin was out bogus. That it was halftime from watching a basketball game and he was going out to get skittles for his little brother. I suppose that he could have been watching re-runs of a previously played game, but it seems highly unlikely and could be easily checked as to what games were being re-run on the TV that night and whether it was halftime at those games during that time. If they had TVR, I suppose it could be checked for the game, etc..

I will say one thing, if I’m out for some reason at 3 AM and someone is following me, I might double back and jump them also. I can see Martin being justified in attacking Zimmerman. Needless to say, there’s a lot to sort out in this case and if I was any politician, I would stay away from any judgement of this case in either direction. Of course, it seems that Obama hasn’t learned his lesson from the beer summit.

Where are you two getting 3:00AM? Everybody else is saying early evening.

It happened between 7 and 7:30.
3AM was the time the investigation at the scene completed.

In a neighborhood that has suffered a string of burglaries, which in the Sanford Police Dept reports have the suspects all being reported as black, then if I'm in the neighborhood watch and at 3am I see a young black man in a hoodie walking in the rain, I'm going to be suspicious.

This took place around 7:15 p.m., not three on the morning.

[Java4Jay]

I heard it happened around 7pm

It wasn't. Sanford PD didpatcher logs the xaal from Zimmerman at 12 seconds past 7:11PM. logs off at 15 seconds past 7:15PM

Martin was on his phone to his girl from 7:12 to 7:16, phone call ends just after Zimmerman and Martin meet.

Police arrive in area at 7:17PM. Find Zimmerman and Martin's dead body sometime between then and c.7:20. EMT;s pronounce Martin dead at 7:30PM

Some of us are having a hard time fitting Martin stalking and attacking Zimmerman, a major fight, and the shooting in the space of 1-3 minutes.

It wasn't... The 911 call logs show what time the incident happened. It was right around 7:00 PM, the 3:00 AM nonsense began because by the time the reponding officers *finished* their reports, and closed them out on the incident, it was 3:00 AM the next morning...
