Consider this map and the locations of the evidence collected. At the T intersection, just north of where Zimmerman's keys were found at point 1, is where Zimmerman claims the incident took place, and where with one surprise punch Martin knocked him down and began beating his head against the side walk. Trayvon Martin's body is (at least) 40 ft away from where Zimmerman claimed the incident occurred. Zimmerman's claim to have been punched and then immediately straddled is therefore bogus.
Unless Martin punched him 40 feet or Zimmerman rolled 40 feet after hitting the ground, the only way this makes sense is if Martin punched him in the face, and then ran south with Zimmerman chasing him. Zimmerman most likely caught up to him and grabbed him at point 7, which is where Martin lost his cell phone, and swung him to the right.

(55,445 posts)as far as Sanford PD and the state's attorney are concerned, Zim was getting railroaded from the start for performing a "public service"
If he was convicted, they'd have to do a whole lotta 'splainin' why it took so long to arrest the fucking asshat.

(2,201 posts)..that the prosecution didn't place more emphasis on how far the body was found from where Zimmerman himself claimed the confrontation started. It's also bothered me that they didn't make a bigger issue out of the fact that Zimmerman decided not to have the police meet him at his car. (His car was only 40 yards away, and in plain sight of where the confrontation supposedly started)

(18,101 posts)This image is just hosted at image shack. I haven't seen any evidence released that gave measurements. I've seen several bloggers trying to guestimate the distances. Total Station doesn't give "at least" estimates. I believe they're accurate to within 1/16 of an inch. Did the cartoon guy use the total station, or the investigators? Maybe both. The state fought like hell to keep the cartoon out of evidence. They won that, except for a couple of stills that weren't evidence, just demonstration props for closing arguments. It seems the state didn't want the jury to see actual measurements.
