Looking at post as neighbor looks over shoulder toward computer screen.
Neighbor – Who’s that?
Me – Trayvon Martin?
Neighbor – Who?
Me – Trayvon Martin, the kid who got shot in Orlando
Neighbor – So? Why you looking at him ?
Me – Nevermind…
Me – Hey, wait a minute before you walk off, how tall do you think this kid is?
Neighbor – Easy, he’s around 6 foot 2 inches, maybe pushing 6’3″.
Me – How can you be so sure?
Neighbor – Door knobs are exactly 36 inches from floor, and bathroom counter 30 – 33 inches standard.
Me – Duh, I forgot you’re a carpenter. Thanks
I don’t know why the autopsy would list Trayvon at 5′ 11″, but the neighbor is right. Trayvon is taller than 6′ even when his back is against the wall to reduce camera angle.
