Why didn’t she call anyone when the phone went dead?

Do you have any information that she was still on the phone with Martin when the incident happened? Perhaps she hung up before then.

This is why I doubt the veracity of her statements so far.


I'm not aware that she's made any public statements up to now. If she hasn't, you have nothing to go on. Which means you've made up your mind about her veracity without any facts.

Hey, I've got an idea. Let's wait until she gives her side of the story before we decide if she's a liar.

Apparently you haven't been following this story very well.

Lawyer: Girl on phone with Trayvon Martin cuts shooter's self-defense claim

A girl who overheard part of an incident involving Florida teenager Trayvon Martin can help prove he was killed "in cold blood" by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, an attorney for Martin's family said Tuesday.

(snip)

The girl -- who he said does not wish to be identified -- "connects the dots" about what happened that day when she lays out what she overheard while on the phone with him, he said.

(snip)

Speaking on the phone shortly before he was shot, Martin told the girl that someone was following him and that he was trying to get away, Crump said.

The girl said that, during the phone call, she heard someone ask Martin what he was doing and heard Martin ask why the person was following him, Crump said. The girl then got the impression that there was an altercation in which the earpiece fell out of Martin's ear and the connection went dead, Crump said.

Hey! I've got an idea. Why don't you read up on this story before shooting from the lip.

Per wikipedia:

“She said that she heard the sound of pushing and that Martin’s headset suddenly went silent, leading her to believe that he had been pushed. She attempted to call him back immediately, but was unable to reach him”

And her statement is mentioned in the charging affidavit.
