NPR: Zimmerman's Account Of Encounter With Trayvon Made Public
George Zimmerman's written, audio and video accounts of what 
happened when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin have been put online by his defense team. Much of what is in the materials has been previously reported, but their release offers the most detailed looks so far at his claim that he acted in self defense.
The materials, posted here, include the statement Zimmerman wrote on Feb. 26 — the day of his fatal encounter with 17-year-old Trayvon in Sanford, Fla. In it, the neighborhood watch volunteer writes:
"I was on my way to the grocery store when I saw a male approximately 5' 11" to 6' 2" casually looking into homes."
Zimmerman left his vehicle, he says, to look for a street sign so that he could give police his location. In a phone conversation with a police dispatcher, he was told "not to follow the suspect and that an officer was in route."
