Visiting his divorced father while on a ten-day suspension from school for being caught with a (mostly) empty bag of marijuana.
Was he cutting through the neighborhood on his way home? He was obviously on foot ... where's the proximity to his house?
The fatal fight occurred about 60 feet from the house where he was staying.
Was he on his way to visit friends? Surely, you would have thought one of his friends would have come forward to say he had just spoke to him on his cell phone and he would be over shortly.
He was on the phone with his girlfriend while walking home from the 7-Eleven where he had purchased Skittles and Coke. She says he told her he was being followed. She advised him to run. He said he wouldn't run, just walk fast. The call allegedly ended at 1912 just as words were being exchanged with the follower (presumably Zimmerman). The grand jury will have the exact timing from the cell company and the girl's testimony, such as it is.
Was he on his way to purchase 'weed' or hook up with somebody? (as 90% of his tweets either extoll the virtues of weed or refer to his desire to ####)
No such evidence.
Where was he coming from?
Well, he used this photo as his Twitter page background (deleted after he died, but fished from the Google cache):
That's the mugshot of rapper Corey Miller, aka C-Murder, who is doing life without parole for beating up and shooting to death 16-year-old Steve Thomas in 2002 at a night club in Harvey, Louisiana. Quite the role model for the up and coming wannabe gang banger, don't you think?
His Twitter account handle was NO_LIMIT_NIGGA. He listed his name as SLIMM, his location as YO HOE CRIB, and his favorite website as LIES.COM. Dude liked caps!

My guess is, he was steamed that Zimmerman was following him. Zimmerman says Martin asked him, "You have a problem?" Zimmerman replied, "No." Then Martin attacked Zimmerman, knocking him to the ground. During the ensuing struggle, Zimmerman was losing until he managed to shoot Martin. There is evidence they were fighting over the gun: Only one round had been fired, and the next round in the clip was not chambered, indicating interference with the rechambering mechanism.
There are no witnesses to contradict Zimmerman's account. Therefore, the verdict must be Not Guilty, whatever you think of Zimmerman's judgement or animus. Oh, and screw you, Tutu!
