10. could be someone else's arm holding the phone to his ear

If he was already handcuffed he wouldn't be able to lift his arm to hold his cellphone to his ear. Since the sleeve appears to be dark blue in the photo it is likely a police officer holding the phone to his ear. After all, once he's in custody it's not like they can walk away and leave him on his own handcuffed or not. You never know though. We've known from the beginning how outrageously lax they were and not treating the scene or the suspect as any other homicide investigation. Hell, for all we know they let Zimmerman trot off to the 7-11 on his own and grab himself a coffee and bag of chips before the entertainment at the station.

Ok. The cops arrived a minute or two after the shot. HooptieWagon Apr 2012 #4

Excellent questions. Hope they will be answered. freshwest Apr 2012 #7

There is a possibility his jacket had sleeves part red/part black csziggy Apr 2012 #13

his jacket doesn't TorchTheWitch Apr 2012 #33

I searched for red jackets and couldn't find one with the same color combo csziggy Apr 2012 #38

I'm guessing but I think it's probably a sports store type jacket TorchTheWitch Apr 2012 #41
