RE: Paranoia is not an excuse for attempted murder.
Let’s say for the sake of argument that Trayvon was paranoid about GZ being a potential gay rapist....
Zimmerman’s lawyer, O’Mara produced a brilliant bit of courtroom theater, reminding the jury that Jeantel said that Martin was running for home. He gave the jury four minutes of silence to make the point. It seemed a very long time. After the time elapsed, he said: “That’s how long he had to run, about four minutes.”
The point: Martin had far more than enough time to be indoors and gone, but he chose otherwise.
So, assuming Trayvon wanted to AVOID a potential “gay rapist”, HE COULD HAVE and had PLENTY OF TIME FOR IT.
Why didn’t he?
True and nobody who thinks about it is going to believe that a 17 year old football player didn’t out run Zimmerman.
