This is being really insensitive. I can't believe the dad is being questioned for not noticing a crime scene. It's not like it was right in his backyard, right behind his house. He probably did see lights and sirens, but why would his first thought be that something happened to his son? They were probably tired, made assumptions about where the kids were, and just went to bed. That is not unreasonable. I don't think they were expecting that Trayvon had been shot and was dead. Good Lord. These people are VICTIMS. Let's treat them as such instead of bashing them because they didn't know Trayvon was dead seconds after they got home.
Well, on the flip side, you have people claiming that the police had wrapped up the scene by the time they got home.
 
Very interesting, wonder what caused him to officially resign.

JMHO

Just wondering if it could have something to do with an FDLE investigation or Department of Justice investigation or may be it could have something to do with both??

Judge unseals file in Trayvon Martin murder case
Court unseals some records hours after George Zimmerman released on bond with GPS tracker early Monday.

George Zimmerman was released early Monday morning from the Seminole County jail. And hours later, the judge in the case unsealed the court file, making a small portion of information about the case public.

Still, the bulk of information about the case – prosecution records – remain a secret.

Ok from what i read the SPD had cleared the crime scene before Tracy Martin and his fiance got home.....IMHO JMHO It really is sickening seeing people attack the true victims in this case and tells me the mindset of those indivuals..IMHO JMHO and all that Now i am time outing myself:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
From the above article....

Zimmerman left the jail around midnight with his bondsman, Michael Smith of Magic Bail Bonds, who escorted Zimmerman to the BMW then drove away.

Court records show Zimmerman's arraignment was moved up to May 8, a hearing during which a defendant formally enters a plea. That, though, was made moot by his lawyer filing a written not guilty plea several days ago
Those newly-released court records also reveal that prosecutors didn't want Zimmerman wearing a suit – civilian clothes of any kind – at Friday's bond hearing. That, wrote Bernie de la Rionda, was an unwarranted attempt to polish Zimmerman's media image.

The judge said yes to the suit, and the defendant wore an over-sized blue one, but the judge also ordered him to wear shackles, another rule O'Mara had asked the judge to relax.

Perhaps the g/f and dad parked the car and entered the residence on the opposite side of the building from where the crime scene was. They may not have heard anything by then and no one said anything to them.

I've had emergency fire and rescue at my house and my next door neighbor didn't even hear anything. The main living area is on the opposite side of the house.

Just an idea,

Magic Bail Bonds...I nearly spit out my drink when I read that. :floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh: That is just the perfect name for the company bonding out GZ.
 
Tracy Martin called the police department himself the next morning to file a missing persons report. The SPD drove to his home and showed him the gruesome pictures of his dead child for identification purposes.

Ok, then I guess I dont understand when you say this:

Yeah, it's pretty amazing that the SPD was content to let this young black man lie in the morgue as a 'John Doe', not even bothering to try to find out his identity, much less contact his next of kin. Isn't it?

1. What could they have done differently to find out his identity? Even if he did have ID it would have listed his address in Miami.
2. If they did not know TM's identity, how could they have called his next of kin?

They better hope they can pull off magic if he goes missing!! LOL! :floorlaugh:

I just seen this thread. A 17-year-old girl was shot in the head by two men shooting at burglars, apparently she was one of the burglars, and I just found that some of the differences of opinions were interesting and although it does not match the circumstances surrounding Trayvon's death as Trayvon was not commiting a crime when GZ took it upon himself to follow and, IMO, confront Trayvon, the same "self-defense" issue is being debated, although very mildly compared to this case.

Tragically, I think that it's a good case to really look at the differences when it comes defending yourself or your property and what happened with Trayvon.

MOO
 
I think I remember that the crime scene had been cleared and everyone was gone by the time Mr Martin and his g/f returned home around 11ish.

I'm still in shock how quickly they investigated the crime scene. Plus didn't they give Trayvon a "drug test" right there on the spot?

That's good news!! Wonder if he was "forced" to resign or if he is doing it on his own??
