re: #296 Lidane

Let’s see. For starters:

1. They show up and there’s a dead body on the ground. The other guy admits to firing his weapon. Why didn’t they test Zimmerman for drugs or alcohol?

2. Trayvon Martin was listed as a John Doe for THREE DAYS. It wasn’t until his parents filed a missing person’s report that it even occurred to them that he might have belonged in the neighborhood he’d been walking in.

3. Leading the witnesses. Several people claim that the police officers were correcting their stories as they were giving their statements. How is that proper procedure?

4. Having a narcotics officer talk to Zimmerman first instead of a homicide investigator. WTF? Dead body on the ground, fired weapon = homicide investigation, and you need someone trained in that to find out what the hell is going on.

5. Despite the officer on the scene writing down Zimmerman’s injuries as corroborating his story, no examination was done at the hospital or pictures taken at the police station. Same goes for grass stains reported on his clothing, which were supposed to again corroborate his story that Zimmerman had been lying on his back as Martin straddled him during the fight.

6. Martin’s cellphone, which would have kept a call log and potentially other evidence, such as digital photos of Zimmerman that would disprove his assertion of being the one attacked instead of the attacker, remains missing.

7. If any pictures or physical evidence exists of the crime scene that could corroborate Zimmerman’s version of events, the Sanford PD has not been forthcoming with them.
