Nobody knows for certain what happened in those few minutes. Yet. Hopefully the truth will come out.
This ^ We don't know what happened after Zimmerman pursued Martin. Period. Interesting to read everyone's speculation based on what we do know, but all we know for sure is Travvon was pursued by Zimmerman and was shot dead by Zimmerman.
Dick is correct; we have a "suspected" crime of murder in the second degree by George Zimmerman, against a dead 17 year old, the "alleged" or "suspected" victim, Trayvon Martin. This is what the investigators and prosecutors are contending. They've seen the evidence available. I am very interested in seeing if this case makes it to trial and hearing/seeing that evidence. I too hope the truth comes out.
