You’ve pretty much come to the same conclusion I have on the events. Treyvon had been visiting his father and they were at the father’s fiance’s when Trayvon left to go to a store for tea and skittles and was on his way back to the father’s fiance’s home.
When Zimmerman stopped looking and was returning to his truck, the kid should have left well enough alone. Instead, it looks like he attacked Zimmerman from behind. I think they find that he was shot at close range because he was on top of Zimmerman, beating on him.
Exactly my thoughts. The claim that Martin was only defending himself against the overzealous pursuit of Zimmerman goes out the window if he turned around and pursued Zimmerman as Zimmerman returned to his truck. “Martin felt threatened by Zimmerman’s pursuit” doesn’t play.
You say “the kid should have left well enough alone....” Don’t you think that Zimmerman, having contacted the police who informed him an officer was on the way, should have “left well enough alone” and remained in his vehicle? It is, after all, “Neighborhood WATCH.”
