So the keys and the flashlight were "out".
Small Perry Mason moment right there.
How so?
Normally you don't use your car keys to attack someone, you have them out because you intend to return to your vehicle.
You don't? Don't they teach people in self defense classes to use their keys when defending themselves. No I am not making the claim he was going to attack Martin with them.
I am stating the only it proves is he had his keys out. He could have easily not had time to put them back in his pocket when chasing Martin.
Which is why I don't see this as a Perry Mason moment.
