The Trayvon Martin murder case was decided a few days ago, with the jury finding George Zimmerman “not guilty” of second-degree murder or manslaughter. However, it remains a very hot topic as people debate the decision, Zimmerman’s actions, and the way that the “stand your ground” law is handled in Florida.
To help explain the series of events that occurred on the night of February 26, 2012, the folks at MyReadingMapped have developed a very comprehensive map that shows the location of each event that night.
The map is very detailed, including locations and times of various activities, phone call details (some with audio), video clips and more.
You can view the map on their website, in Google Maps, or directly in Google Earth with this KML file.

For whatever it’s worth, people that have any clue what they’re talking about don’t mention stand your ground laws at all, because they had no bearing in the case.
Yup! It’s not “stand your ground” if there’s a guy on top of you bashing your head into the cement because it’s not like you really have a choice to retreat. Kudos to the blogger(s) for at least providing the map. Too bad they’re not more well-versed on the case, though I suppose I can’t blame them.
