In reply to the discussion: Looking at the undisputed facts in the Zimmerman case and applying Zimmerman's original story [View all]Daalalou
(54 posts)If Zimmerman was really walking back to his truck, why hadn't he arrived back there? The altercation occurred much closer to his truck than to Martin's home. Zimmerman had 3 to 4 minutes from the end of his 911 call to return. Martin had about 30 seconds from the end of his phone call with DeeDee before the screams began. Who had more time to reach their destination?
In addition, Zimmerman lived in the complex and had been patrolling the streets for two years. Martin was visiting a complex in which all the units are identical. Who had an easier time knowing how to get around? It's totally conceivable to me that Martin might have gotten a little lost while running in the dark, in the rain, and had to stop to catch his breath and get his bearings.
And Trayvon wasn't bigger. According to the autopsy, he was 5'11", which is only 2 inches taller than Zimmerman. And he weighed less, 25 to 50 pounds less (I've seen Zimmerman's weight as 185-200; the autopsy recorded Martin weighing 158).
