I read the same thing Lloyd, I hate these headlines that don't explain shit. When they say "Intermediate" I think.. ok.. 10 feet or more. What's going on there? But apparently experts say that based on the 2 inch by 2 inch stippling that he got from the powder burns, it was somewhere in the 2-4 Inch range.. which doesn't sound like "intermediate" to me.. but maybe its a misnomer. At that range, I wouldn't suspect that Martin was backing off.
Either way its a fucked up situation. Maybe George shouldn't have followed. Maybe Treyvon over-reacted when confronted.. or George's adrenaline got the better of him when Treyvon turned around, we may never know. I just think that the Media should stop playing the "sensationalist" headlines that get everyone speculating based on emotion, and stick to the evidence.
