Sounds more like a CYA thing to me. Besides, if he was told "stop following that man and leave the area", would he have had to follow that order? It was a 911 operator, not a police officer.<br><br>Paul<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Representative Shirley Ringo <sringo@house.idaho.gov><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Scott Dredge <scooterd408@hotmail.com>; viz

Trayvon Martin is walking to the townhome in a gated community where he is staying<br>2. George Zimmerman is driving in the same gated community<br>3. Zimmerman sees and follows Martin and calls a non-emergency police number at 7:09:34pm to report a suspicious person<br>4.
Martin already on a phone call with a friend, tells her that someone is following him, this call is disconnected at ~7:12pm<br>5. Zimmerman's recorded phone call to police ends at 7:13:40 pm after a ~4 minute discussion / he has exited his vehicle<br>6. Martin & Zimmerman become engaged in an altercation<br>7. A 911 call reporting a disturbance is recorded starting at 7:16:11 pm<br>[At this point Martin is alive and the altercation between Martin & Zimmerman is in progress]<br>8. A gunshot is recorded on the 911 call at 7:16:55pm (~44 seconds after the start of the call logging)<br>9. Police arrive at the scene at approximately 7:17pm<br>11. Zimmerman tells police he shot Martin<br>10. Police disarm and handcuff Zimmerman<br>12. Martin is pronounced dead at approximately 7:30pm<br>13. Police photograph Zimmerman while he is in the back of a police car - he has a bleeding & swollen nose<br>14. Police photograph Zimmerman at the police station
- the back of his head is bleeding<br><br>Absent any other facts, I don't see any possibility of a 2nd degree murder conviction against Zimmerman.<br>I don't know enough about manslaughter to comment on the possibility of conviction for this charge.<br>I think Zimmerman deserves some type of punishment. Where things stand now, I don't expect any convictions on civil rights violations. I do expect Zimmerman either be found liable in civil court or agree to an out of court settlement.<br><br>-Scott</span></div></div></div></div></div><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.<br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net/" target="_blank">http://www.fsr.net</a><br> mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com"
