82. Didn't Martin run away from Zimmerman?
Sun Mar 25, 2012, 03:42 PM
Mar 2012

From what I heard it seems that Martin started to run away at the end of Zimmerman's call. That seems in line with what the girlfriend said, when she claimed she urged Martin to avoid the guy and get away.

This is the first time I've heard that Trayvon called 911. Wonder why that is? Little Star Mar 2012 #2
he said it loud and clear. barbtries Mar 2012 #3
I wonder why no media outlets are covering this? HipChick Mar 2012 #4

1) I'm wondering if they didn't realize they-911-had it. 2) I'm wondering if the FBI took it Justice wanted Mar 2012 #31
The FBI wasn't called in until weeks after Trayvon was shot. yardwork Mar 2012 #46
Right but if as it is said in this thread if CELL phone 911 calls are sent to a different 911 call Justice wanted Mar 2012 #52
OMG.. wtf?! Where is it and why hasn't that been released? And K Gardner Mar 2012 #5
I'd take that with a grain of salt... ellisonz Mar 2012 #6
I don't think he misspoke.... daleanime Mar 2012 #11
He's a local Chicago news reporter. ellisonz Mar 2012 #13
Right, it doesn't look like he misspoke.. daleanime Mar 2012 #18
yeah it's weird that such a huge scoop is tacked on at the end of the story Enrique Mar 2012 #36
If Martin attempted to make a 911 call, that would be concrete information that he was fearful bluestate10 Mar 2012 #15
"If such a tape exists".... daleanime Mar 2012 #20
I don't think he misspoke either. The FBI evidently released that K Gardner Mar 2012 #34
Now that this has come out... one_voice Mar 2012 #7
I don't see how it could be possible since he was on the phone with his girlfriend. LisaL Mar 2012 #8
Martin was not on the phone with his girlfriend during all of the incident. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #12
But from what she says, he was on the phone with her right up to the confrontation. LisaL Mar 2012 #19
The girlfriend doesn't know what happened after they were disconnected. yardwork Mar 2012 #47
That's not exactly correct Oilwellian Mar 2012 #56
That's exactly what I said. What in my previous post was incorrect? yardwork Mar 2012 #58
You said: Oilwellian Mar 2012 #61
Oh, I see. I condensed a lot of things. My post was misleading. yardwork Mar 2012 #72
Yes, there can be a 911 call later. But you're incorrect on one point... Honeycombe8 Mar 2012 #77
Zimmerman got in the way of Martin so now you are saying Martin approached Z and instigated this? uppityperson Mar 2012 #80
Didn't Martin run away from Zimmerman? Celebrandil Mar 2012 #82

Yeah that's what I think too. Federal Hate Crime Law has been broken. TNLib Mar 2012 #32
That's not clear, IMO. It's possible he says "goons." Honeycombe8 Mar 2012 #78
Sanford is 1000 miles away, and the incident was at 7pm on a Sunday markinsf Mar 2012 #79
Wearing a hoodie in the morning is ok, but at 7pm is not? "the hoodie is the important thing here" uppityperson Mar 2012 #81
Chill. My somewhat humorous point at ME being mistaken for a criminal while wearing a hoodie.. Honeycombe8 Mar 2012 #88
Since this was 7 pm, and he was walking from store to dad's girlfriend's condo, how does any of that uppityperson Mar 2012 #89
I was responding to the prior post. I was also noting that the hoodie played a part.... Honeycombe8 Mar 2012 #90

cell phone 911 are routed to PSAP pschoeb Mar 2012 #17
Is that where Zimmermann's 911 call went? obxhead Mar 2012 #21
He might have just called the dispatch number pschoeb Mar 2012 #23
Neither is a pothole, obxhead Mar 2012 #25
Zimmerman didn't call 911. LisaL Mar 2012 #24

I heard a bloody nose but not a broken nose. But I won't believe either, pnwmom Mar 2012 #28
I'm in complete agreement with you on this. yardwork Mar 2012 #48
Even if Trayvon broke his nose it was in self dense. The kid was being stalked. TNLib Mar 2012 #33
is that in the police report? notadmblnd Mar 2012 #37
I really don't know I'm just saying even if it were true then it's still criminal. TNLib Mar 2012 #40
I didn't see 'broken nose' in the police report that I read. But maybe there are more reports sabrina 1 Mar 2012 #43
This bloody or broken nose nonsense is laughable. jaysunb Mar 2012 #38
Hell, he was being stalked by a man with a gun. stillwaiting Mar 2012 #71
According to the law, yes, after being chased down kdmorris Mar 2012 #75
If this is true...then the police are completely inept. n/t vaberella Mar 2012 #27
I would say too many of them in the SPD are corrupt more than being inept. LiberalFighter Mar 2012 #98

Thanks, this is the first I have heard Trayvon made a call AnotherDreamWeaver Mar 2012 #42

If Trayvon actually made a 911 call this would have been a big story. LisaL Mar 2012 #62
This helps understanding, SPD may not have seen it, but the Sheriff's office could have had it. AnotherDreamWeaver Mar 2012 #65
So emergency calls using 911 are not billable LiberalFighter Mar 2012 #99
