>> You and Uncle Chip were both gracious ;)
Absolutely. Stuff happens.
The police happened to find a Slim Jim burglary tool in the bushes where GZ said he saw Martin hanging out. This was a couple of days after the incident, so it couldn't be put into evidence because there was no chain of custody link to TM. I think it was his. But I'm just speculating.
I think it's the key to the whole case.
Trayvon didn't leave the safety of his daddy's back yard, to go back out in the dark, in the RAIN, to find Zimmerman. He didn't even know if Zimmerman was still around.
He went back because there was something he LOST or DUMPED into the bushes.
He was looking for it when George came walking BACK up the sidewalk returning to his vehicle.
Trayvon didn't want to get caught right THERE, near the EVIDENCE.
He had to do something quick.
The rest is history.
