That all happens within seconds. they talk for another minute or 2. next thing we know, martin is dead between some houses...away from the truck. What do you think happened? martin goes to Zimmerman next to his truck, and drags him away? lol
PS, Zimmerman was following him in his truck, until he saw martin run. Zimmerman was on the phone with the dispatcher while still in his truck, and while he got out of the truck. I don't need to be there to know that. I can hear it...

I have heard it and I have read the transcript. It does sound like he may have been in his truck at first but he was never told to stay in his truck and when he was asked if he was following Martin you can hear him breathing hard, why would anyone answer yes they were following someone if they were just standing by their truck as you said. Also later didn't he say Martin was running and he lost sight of him? Why didn't Martin continue running away? As you can tell Zimmerman was in no shape to be able to have caught up to him.
You believe what you want but the Jury got it right based on all the evidence.
