It was 7 PM. Whether Martin was a "good kid" or not is totally irrelevant. There is less than zero evidence Martin was doing anything wrong. According to Zimmerman he was "just walking around looking about" in the rain and said, "This guy looks like he is up to no good or he is on drugs or something.". Zimmerman was just pissed that "these penetrating punks" and "assholes" always get away, and he was going to play cop, against actual police orders to not follow the kid, and not let that happen this night. And because of his actions, not anything Martin did, we have the crime that occurred.
