I was on the phone when Trevon decided to go to the Cornerstore. It started to rain so he decided to walk through another complex because it was raining to hard. He started walking then noticed someone was following him.

I saw it when I was looking at link posted by liesel upthread. I'm not sure how to do a screen shot, but it's here: https://www.facebook.com/jaleesa.t.martin?sk=wall. Just keep scrolling until you get to the date.

Something I've been thinking about: some Martin supporters attempt to make hay out of what they perceive to be an insufficient amount of blood flow from Zimmerman's head injuries, and use that perception to claim that the altercation could not have been as violent as Zimmerman claims. Of course, self-defense statutes make no mention of severity of sustained injury and instead rely on the threshold of reasonable fear of imminent risk of death or great bodily harm.

That said: is this criticism even valid?

So, Aurora shooter James Holmes, in an open-and-shut case that needs only determine if he was mentally competent or insane at the time of the shooting, just had his trial date moved back from August 2013 to February 2014, with the judge indicating that even more time may be necessary.

The Aurora shooting was in July 2012, with the arrest taking place at the crime scene, and the original trial date set for August 2013 (13 months from arrest to trial).

The Martin shooting was in February 2012, with the arrest taking place in April 2012, and the original trial date set for June 2013 (14 months from arrest to trial).

In the Aurora shooting, all the evidence was, for all intents and purposes, immediately available. One would imagine that the only point left to contend is the mental state of the accused. And yet, that trial was just continued another six months (and counting).

In the Martin shooting, the prosecution is still supplementing the release of discovery evidence, some three months before the trial - and yet the defense motion to continue for six months was denied. (The judge found nothing "insurmountable", of course.)

Anecdotally, from what I have been able to gather, a murder trial generally takes anywhere from 1 to 3 years from arrest to trial, with more than 90% of those resulting in a plea deal. If true, it becomes obvious that Zimmerman's trial has been fast-tracked.

I dont get it either...Then the judge cancelled todays hearing?!! WTH, fast tracked on the Autobahn? Whew almost caught up on reading.

That said: is this criticism even valid? It seems to ignore a normal, physiological response: vasoconstriction. The body's fight-or-flight response includes vasoconstriction, which directs blood flow to the muscles that will imminently be called upon, by depriving blood flow from non-essential areas such as the face and head. Also, the acute blunt trauma of having one's head bashed into the ground could also result in temporary, local vasoconstriction at the trauma site.

I'd have to find some related studies to know for certain, but it would seem that, in an altercation that took no more than two and a half minutes, vasoconstriction could easily have contributed to less blood flow during the altercation, and delayed blood flow afterward.

"They so busy try a make tray look like a bad person they are forgetting that he still was a innocent kid doing nothin when he was shot...forget what happened in Miami and remember what happened in Sanford and arrest Zimmerman"

Camera on the bus would be good... if rumours are true.

O'Mara in a presser after the last? court date mentions Trayvon and Miami. If something went down there he seems to be aware of it.
