During the Zimmerman trial, we have had DUers argue for his acquittal, which, of course, happened...

132. Distances and timing make it as likely Zimmerman followed as not

In fact, the timing fits perfectly with the possibility that Martin was heading straight home and that Zimmerman went to the back entrance in an effort to cut the "suspect" off from leaving by the back entrance. If Zimmerman had walked or driven by road towards the back entrance, Martin could have seen him at the end of the sidewalk. Martin told Rachel that he was almost home when he saw the "creepy cracker" again. If Martin then turned and went back down the sidewalk, Zimmerman could have gone back around and accosted him at the "T" where it's pretty obvious that any confrontation began.

Believing that Zimmerman just was standing around doing nothing in the 2 minutes after the dispatcher told him not to follow is ridiculous - the dispatcher told him "We don't need you to do that." 15 seconds after we hear the car door close. Zimmerman could not have gone very far in that 15 seconds. He had 2 minutes to return to his car and wait for the cops. That passiveness does not fit his personality and it does not fit with what we know happened, by the location of Martin's body and by the witness testimony.

My problem with the situation is that I believe that Zimmerman is a cold blooded liar. No witnesses saw enough to tell us accurately what happened. The only other person who could have told us is dead, by Zimmerman's hand.

Zimmerman will never be held accountable for Martin's death - the botched prosecution and incompetent jury saw to that. Someday Zimmerman will get what he deserves - he is incapable of staying out of trouble and eventually someone who is faster on the trigger will be involved. IMO.
