At 16:07 in this post verdict news conference, Prosecutors still cannot justify what Trayvon Martin appears to have actually done–start a physical altercation with George Zimmerman. They say the Martin had ‘every right’ to be where he was and that is absolutely true, but he did not have ‘every right’ to start a fight with Zimmerman. Prosecutors won’t say it because it guts their case.

“What it boiled down to was a kid, minding his own business, being followed by a stranger.”

But what was brought out in trial via phone records and the prosecution’s star witness Rachel Jeantel was, as pointed out in the post verdict news conference by defense attorneys,  

“There were four minutes between the time that Trayvon Martin ran off and before he reappeared and the confrontation with George Zimmerman occurred.”
