I think it could be, well maybe could have been depending on the technology of the cell phone tower, shown that Rachel may have been connected with Trayvon through the entire incident up to approximately 18 seconds after the gun shot.
The reason I believe this may be the case is because of the time discrepancies in George’s calls to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office call center and his T-Mobile records. The time of the discrepancies I approximate as 1 minute 30 seconds.
The first NEN call George made is listed as a connection time on the event report showing 7:09:34. His T-Mobile records show 7:08:00. It’s important to note however that in George’s T-Mobile records the time shown in seconds has been rounded back to the minute of which it was called in. The reason for this was discussed in trial in that after a certain amount of time T-Mobile is unable to provide the exact to the second connection time from their records, they can only provide the minute from which it was placed.
The second NEN call George made is listed as a connection time on the event report showing 7:20:28. His T-Mobile time listed as 7:18:00.
7:08:00 – 7:09:34 1 minute 34 seconds
7:18:00 – 7:20:28 2 minutes 28 seconds
As you can see there is a time difference between the two of about a minute which I think is explained by the 7:08 call in actuality was close to 7:08:00 and the 7:18 call in actuality was closer to 7:18:59 which would account for the minute difference.
Given this information I put the discrepancy of SCSO time at 1 minute and 30 seconds ahead of T-Mobile time.
Trayvon also used T-Mobile so I am completely guessing both he and George would be synced together with T-Mobile time considering it’s the same provider. His T-Mobile times are 6:54:16 and 7:12:06.
6:54:16 + 1m30s = 6:55:46(SCSO start time) + 1052 seconds = 7:13:18(SCSO end time)
7:12:06 + 1m30s = 7:13:36(SCSO start time) + 218 seconds = 7:17:14(SCSO end time)
Regardless both he and George would have most likely been pinging off the same cell phone tower. Investigation could have gleaned an exact discrepancy of time between the T-Mobile calls placed by George and Trayvon to SCSO time and precise to the second call information had they investigated the information from that tower itself. As far as I am aware this was never done and I don’t know if that specific tower would still hold the information at this or a later date.
With this information then here is a basic timeline in SCSO time with the exception of the bloody head photo.
6:55:46 Trayvon answers incoming call
7:09:34 George connects to SCSO
7:11:41 George: Shit, he’s running
7:13:18 Trayvon’s call disconnects
7:13:36 Trayvon answers incoming call
7:13:38 Dispatcher: You’re welcome [call disconnects within next few seconds]
7:16:11 W11 connects to SCSO
7:16:56 Gunshot
7:17:14 Trayvon’s call disconnects
7:19:07 Metadata Manalo bloody head photo of George
7:20:28 George connects to SCSO
Further, there is the REM(remark) made by the call taker when Officer Timothy Smith places George at gunpoint. The time noted there is 7:19:43. This time coincides with the Surdyka call where she mentions George has his hands in the air and says he shot the person. Her call connects at 7:17:06 and she mentions it around 2 minutes and 40 seconds into her call. Another REM by the call taker which shows 7:21:18 1 secure 1 down w/GSW. It was also mentioned at trial that George threw his phone down on the ground as Smith had him at gunpoint right before being cuffed. Given this information let’s add that to the timeline.
6:55:46 Trayvon answers incoming call
7:09:34 George connects to SCSO
7:11:41 George: Shit, he’s running
7:13:18 Trayvon’s call disconnects
7:13:36 Trayvon answers incoming call
7:13:38 Dispatcher: You’re welcome [call disconnects within next few seconds]
7:16:11 W11 connects to SCSO
7:16:56 Gunshot
7:17:14 Trayvon’s call disconnects
7:19:07 Metadata Manalo bloody head photo of George
7:19:43 1 at gun point
7:20:28 George connects to SCSO
7:21:18 1 secure 1 down w/GSW
By this account then Rachel would have been connected with Trayvons phone for approximately 18 seconds after the gun shot. George would have been connected with the SCSO as his hands and phone were in the air. There was no audio from the SCSO 7:20:28 call released to the public.
