23. Here's my speculation...

Zimmerman, who by all accounts was a cop wannabe, was in his vehicle going, according to his father, to the grocery store while armed saw Trayvon Martin and, because of the color of his skin, decided immediately he was suspicious. He then decided to follow him, first in his vehicle and then on foot, making a non-emergency 911 call about his suspicions. At the time of his 911 call, he had already left his vehicle and was on foot given his breathing heard on the 911 tape in addition to the question asked by the 911 operator as to whether Zimmerman was following the 'suspicious' person. Zimmerman ignored the subsequent response by the operator for him to stop following the person and continued to chase Trayvon Martin until he caught up with him, tackled him and subsequently shot him in cold blood.

The police arrived within 5 minutes of the killing, confiscate the gun and handcuff Zimmerman who was looked over by the EMS responders while in the back of the police vehicle and was deemed to be without any serious injury. A phone call made by someone with clout resulted in State Attorney Wolfinger AND police chief Lee going to the police station, unusual to say the least, and the phone call was made very quickly because Wolfinger and Lee were at the police station when Zimmerman arrived there. The decision was made VERY shortly after and over the objection of the chief investigator to not charge Zimmerman and he was released within two hours after he arrived at station and that decision was made because of the clout whoever made that phone call between the killing and the arrival of Zimmerman to the station.

Who has enough clout to do that? What is the connection between Wolfinger and the Zimmerman family? I have NO doubt there is a connection because of Wolfinger's recusing himself because of a conflict of interest not explained.

Edited to add: Could the connection between Wolfinger and the Zimmerman family be with George Zimmerman's wife who, interestingly, is rarely mentioned, the fact that Zimmerman is married at all is rarely mentioned.
