I think we don’t have all the facts and the ones we do have are somewhat jumbled and some of it may be clouded by adrenalin/emotion and other factors.

The reports say that Trayvon went to the 7-11 during the NBA All-star halftime. That game started at 7:30pm est.

The first call from Zimmerman to police was at 7:11 pm, Trayton’s girlfriend called Trayton at 7:12 pm.

It was raining that evening and had rained on and off that day from about 3pm. The 7-11 was .7 miles away.

The thing I do wonder about is Zimmermans account of Trayvon having his hand in his waistband/pants and something in his other hand— he had Skittles, an Arizona Iced Tea and a phone.

Trayvon doesn’t have three hands, so how did this work? Was the iced tea and skittles in the front through-pouch of the hoodie?

Perhaps Trayvon had his hand in his waistband to sorta stabilize the tea and Skittles carried in the front pouch of his sweatshirt and his phone was in the other hand?

Or maybe he reached in his pants to grab his phone out of a pocket that is on the inside front of the sweats/shorts?

I don’t know but something about this part of the story puzzles me a bit.

But for all the phone calls Zimmerman made to police 42?46? Whatever it is...he never seemed to get over dramatic or exaggerate.

I do think an unfamiliar walking around in the RAIN would make me concerned, too. I think a bunch of bad circumstances and bad decisions all around is why this happened.

So very sad for everyone involved.
