"The headphones, which were actually earbuds, were in his pockets or on him or on the ground near his body which was approximately 50-feet from where the shooter stated the incident occurred."
Why would his cellphone be where the assault began? If he was the one surprised and assaulted -- yes. But its final location indicates that he had it firmly tucked away on him or firmly in his hand during the beatdown.
Further the picture caption reads "TM's cellphone" [no mention of anything attached]. There is no mention in any of the reports of the cell phone with headphones [earbuds] attached, and it's hard to imagine an evidence technician disattaching them and not noting that in her report.
We are thus left with the conclusion that it was Martin who separated them from the cellphone in preparation for the beatdown. Am I correct???
The location is important because in his first interview with the police George stated that he was punched at the "T", then fell and that's where all the action took place.
Later George said that he was punched at the "T" but stumbled 10 feet or so away from it before he fell and that's where all the action took place.
But lo and behold, the shooting took place 50 feet away from the "T". That's a mighty long stumble.
George, did you stumble 10 feet off the "T" or 50 feet off the "T"?
Which is it George?
And did Trayvon run, George ... like you told the police in real-time in your non-emergency call or did he merrily skip away like you told Hannity in your fund-raising interview?
And George, why didn't you call the emergency 911 line if you thought Trayvon was committing a crime?
And George, why didn't you use your tactical flashlight to defend yourself?
And George, did you drop you keyring flashlight at the "T" when you were reaching for your cellphone gun? You made too big a deal trying to explain your phone's location. Sorta like to too big a deal you made looking for street names.
Are you really that dumb George, that you couldn't remember the names of the three streets in the complex where you lived for several years and 'patrolled' daily?
And George, why were using the name ‘datniggytb’ on myspace?
George, you should have listened to Wendy Dorival when she told you that members of a neighborhood watch are not supposed to confront anyone, but only to be the eyes and ears for the police. George, you should have listened when she told you watch groups are not even supposed to make the rounds. That is the job of another kind of volunteer organization, Citizens on Patrol, whose members are selected and trained by the police and who drive the streets in a specially marked vehicle, armed only with a radio. George, you should have listened . . .
George, the jury is going to be made up of human beings, who are not going to like that you were toting a gun and ignored the dispatcher and followed Trayvon anyway. There may not be anything legally bad about that, but it shows your character. You thought you could handle the situation yourself and didn't care whether Trayvon lived or died. Your intent was to stop another criminal from getting away, even if that meant death to that criminal. You stereotyped Trayvon and assumed things that weren't true. It certainly made an ass out of you, and also made you a murderer. You wanted to set yourself up as a hero. You should have waited for the police to get there, not pursue Trayvon yourself.
