"Trayvon Martin was shot dead after he took a break from watching NBA All-Star game television coverage to walk 10 minutes to a convenience store to buy snacks including Skittles candy requested by his 13-year-old brother, Chad, the family's lawyer Ben Crump said."
According to the orlando sentinal diagram I don't think that walk was 10 minutes. I hate when lawyers/families/media do this. This is exactly what makes me question everything that comes from him now. What made me look deeper into this case was the jr high photo the family released and then a few days later finding out he is 6'3". Why would they release that photo when there were many other more recent photos available? (now I am answering myself- possibly because that photo showed how they saw him-young, happy, vulnerable, handsome.)

That was my problem too. It seemed the more articles I read, the more various supposed *facts* came into question. First he's a young boy, photo looked about 12 or 14, then I read he's six foot three inches and 17. First he's there with his father and step mother, then nobody actually lives there but dad's girlfriend. Dad lives in Miami. I'd like to know when exactly he left the house, how long he was gone before the shooting. Is there video of him at the convenience store?? Convenience stores always have video. What time was it?
