43. Well, there is no disparity in the time. I had wondered about it, how long it took after the first

call from Zimmerman, until the shooting, for the police to get there. According to the Police Reports and other documents, police were dispatched at 7.17 PM, while Zimmerman was still on the phone with the Dispatcher.

Trayvon was pronounced dead at 7.30 PM according to the report. The shooting took place a few minutes before that, maybe 3 or 4 minutes. I am not sure of the exact time.

The police got there several minutes before pronouncing him dead. One Police Officer stated that he was already on his way there when he received the call that a shooting had occurred. According to witnesses police were at the scene right after the shooting took place.

What I am saying is that had Zimmerman just waited, the police would have been there within about, it looks like about 10 minutes or so. He should have gone back to his car. I bet he wishes now that he had done that.

I am doing this from memory of the documents posted at the link above. When I have time I will read them again as they do record the timing from the first call to the pronouncement of death. Such an unnecessary tragedy. All for the sake of a few minutes.

Saw nothing at the link about the case. Can you point it out? Thanks. yardwork Mar 2012 #37
That's strange. Maybe they've moved it or taken it down. Anyhow, I had a window still open so here's sabrina 1 Mar 2012 #38
OMG they didn't even try to help Trayvon until they had finished monkeying with Zimmerman! yardwork Mar 2012 #39
The other thing that stood out to me was the time between Zimmerman's call to the police and sabrina 1 Mar 2012 #41
I think the disparity in time is because Zimmerman was talking to the non-emergency dispatch. X_Digger Mar 2012 #42
