I had not thought about this: the Zimmerman trial (and did you think of this?)

In looking at the case, one point defense lawyer O'Mara made in closing argument stands out with me: the 4 minute silence. It is the 'oldest trick in the book' to use silence to get the jury to understand some important time matter, but what I had not thought about is this: the 4 minute time period began when Trayvon Martin was on the phone with his friend and when he started running at the urging of his friend.

It would have taken less than one minute to run to where he was staying (I have been there at the scene) and he obviously did not run home.

So the reasonable inference is that he remained in the area to confront George Zimmerman.

Who confronted who as the attack commenced would be important to me in deciding this case if I were a juror. It identifies the aggressor at a key point in the time line and the non aggressor would be more likely to have a valid and legitimate self defense.

Of course there are many facts to consider, but this one O'Mara argued in his closing stood out with me.

What do you think?
