There is no evidence whatsoever that Zimmerman continued to follow Trayvon after speaking with 911.
None. To me this is still an issue of two men in the wrong place at the wrong time choosing to act unwisely.
And it spiraled out of control with a young man losing his life.
There is so much misinformation out there it's appalling. Let alone having the media doctor tapes. Very experienced reporters sacrificed their careers attempting to portray this as a racially motivated murder.
Hopefully a trial will bring clarity and details but at this time based on what was reported I still believe Zimmerman started this whole tragedy in motion with his misguided and pigheaded behavior. TD, if I am being followed in that same situation I can assure you I will try to flee first but will fight if cornered. I believe Trayvon did just that and sadly died because the gun always wins.
The problem has been the reporting. Agreed. So many incorrect reports in a rush to judgement.
It's a dog's breakfast for true Dreamy. The fools at the alphabet networks were so gung ho on trying to turn this into a hate crime that they actually edited tapes and misinterpreted tapes purposefully.
NBC doctoring the 911 call. CNN having to apologize for misinterpreting a part of the call saying Zimmerman said "coons" which was completely bogus.
The media continually publishing pictures of a 12 year old Trayvon. The list is endless. I really blame the media for firing everyone up about this.
Not that there shouldn't have been an inquest. Most certainly. Trayvon's parents deserved that their son's death be investigated thoroughly.
The public needed an inquest as well. But the media drove a dog and pony show.
I've read the transcripts of the 911 call. Sadly one has to do their own investigation to discover truth.
Not sure if you knew about the CNN fiasco. So inflammatory.

On Wednesday, the network took a different tone when it released "new enhanced 911 audio." Zimmerman's attorneys told CNN that the word in question was "punks," not the racial slur. CNN checked this out with forensic audio expert Tom Owen, who agreed with Zimmerman's lawyers.
Later on Wednesday, Tuchman checked it out again for himself, working this time with one of CNN's "senior audio engineers."
"Some are accusing George Zimmerman of using the racial slur 'coons' in his 911 call," Tuchman says in his report. This is absurd, because CNN pretty much started the controversy in the first place.
In the end, Tuchman, the audio expert and special guest host Wolf Blitzer who was filling in for Anderson Cooper all agreed that the word in question was "cold," not the racial slur.
