That is the way Trayvon was headed when Z last saw him...when he lost sight of Trayvon Z got out of his truck so he could see better and walked in that direction a short ways to try and see better.
When the dispatcher axed Z if he was following the suspect George replied in the affirmative meaning he was just walking in the direction where he last saw trayvon.
One cannot follow anyone unless you can actually see them.
Trayvon only had a hundred yds. to go to get home...since he was running that would have taken him around 30 secs.
Wrong. He said Martin was running
"towards the other entrance" as he exited his vehicle.
After getting out of his vehicle, the dispatcher asked Zimmerman,
"which entrance is that that he's heading towards?" To which Zimmerman answered, "the back entrance," as he went running after Martin.
So no, you're full of shit when you falsely claim he only got out of his vehicle because he lost sight of him. Zimmerman saw the direction he took off in.
After exiting his vehicle and after informing the dispatcher the direction he observed Martin running, Zimmerman was asked if he was following Martin; and was told he needn't do so by the dispatcher. Then Zimmerman was asked his name, which he gave, and also informed the dispatcher Martin ran. By then he lost sight of him -- but that was after getting out of his truck.
And Martin had good reason not to run straight back to his father's apartment.... Being chased by a crazed guy, why would he lead a nut to where he was staying and to where 14 year old Chad Green was home alone?
