Re: OT-Trayyvon Martin case...
|
Zimmerman said he walked back to his vehicle when he lost sight of Treyvon and that Treyvon followed him, starting trouble. But Treyvon was shot, not on the street, but at the back of the apartment buildings.
---> And I totally understand your confusion...Zimmerman's account of the alleged account included Martin slamming his head into the sidewalk. It would logically conclude that his statement that he was 'returning/walking back to his vehicle' was that he was AT his vehicle when the alleged attack occurred...until you look at an aerial view and see that there are two rows of three buildings back-to-back and that in between them...there is a sidewalk that runs the length.
---> Two thing I don't get: 1) from the description by Zimmerman to 911 on the direction that Martin was running and where Zimmerman lost sight of him...why did Martin 'double-back'? The location where Martin 'ducked' between two buildings is almost in the middle to where his father's fiance lived and where Martin died. It would make more sense to continue to a place of safety, then to go after the person who is following you. 2) what was Zimmerman doing behind the buildings? Looking at the map, it would make more sense to stay on the road because Martin had options. But then again, looking down the street and not seeing the kid, he might have thought Martin had already crossed the street and ducked between the other buildings and so it would be logical to take the sidewalk that goes from where his vehicle was parked to where it connects to the sidewalk behind the buildings.
