Looking at the undisputed facts in the Zimmerman case and applying Zimmerman's original story

[hfojvt]

79. the two minutes is enough time to get home

I did not wonder why he didn't go home. I said, he probably would not want to lead a threatening person to his home, but I would be surprised if all doors were locked (further, most fancier homes have garage door openers, one gets into the house by knowing the code)

As to why Zimmerman did not get back to his vehicle. First, I don't have a timeline there or a distance line. Zimmerman gets out of his vehicle and jogs after Trayvon (or maybe runs, but I cannot see a person sprinting while they have a phone to their head and are talking in it. You need to pump your arms and use all your breath at top speed (athough it is also possible Zimmerman had a hands free device)).

Then he loses sight of Trayvon (or so he claims to the police) so he is kinda wandering around looking for him. Then at some point he is told "we don't need you" to follow him. But he still stands there for a while or walks around looking while he is talking to the police. So how far is he from his SUV? 100 yards? 200 yards?

Then the call to the police ends.

How long after that does the confrontation take place? Two minutes? Less? Five minutes?

So if he is wandering back to his SUV at a leisurely pace, still looking around for Trayvon, wondering "where did he go?" then a minute might not get him halfway back to his SUV.

Too many unknowns. How far was he from his SUV and how long after his call ended before the confrontation happened?

But the easy answer for me is that he didn't go back to his vehicle, but continued to LOOK for Trayvon. Not to follow him, because he didn't know where he was to follow, but to look for him. That he perhaps expected the kid to be running away, since he ran earlier, and if you look down the street and do not see him, you walk up to the nearest intersection and look both ways. So that later you can tell the cops "he was going east on Olympic". But now I am trying to remember the map, because I did not see very many intersections.
