35. No, I didn't yet. But I remember the reports immediately after the killing.

From my recollection she has not changed her story. He called her as he was very disturbed by the fact that someone had been following him. She suggested he run and get home as quickly as possible, he told he was doing that. Then she heard another person and heard him asking why this person was following him.

Now, here is the problem. He called her while trying to get away from this stranger who had been stalking him. We know that Zimmerman had been told to say in his truck and that the police would be there any minute. We know that Zimmerman ignored that advice and followed Trayvon who was naturally upset as anyone would be, by being followed by a complete stranger. We know Trayvon was very close to his father's apartment, so that indicates he was trying to get home and away from Zimmerman. His call to her was a natural thing to do if you are being followed by a stranger.

Bottom line, if Zimmerman had stayed in his truck, Trayvon would be alive and no one would have heard of either of them. But he didn't.

Yes Are_grits_groceries Jun 2013 #25

So the willingness to lie didn't bother you at all? Vattel Jun 2013 #28

State attorneys remind everyone they 'want them to be truthful'. So why is that significant sabrina 1 Jun 2013 #30

Yes, they do, but not usually because the person is obviously lying. Vattel Jun 2013 #34
