Some Big Unanswered Questions in the Zimmerman Case

Why Didn’t Martin Family Know What Happened Earlier?  Trayvon was supposedly buying tea and skittles for his little brother.  He went to store and never came back.  Later that night–but earlyish, 7:30–there’s a shooting in the complex.  Tons of cop cars appear and likely stick around for hours.  People mill about and talk about what happened.  His father and his fiancee, according to some reports, come back from a date later that night. In other reports–including their words the day after the shooting--it sounds like they were there all along.   But they don’t find out he’s dead until the next day.  Now they say they were looking all night.  Regardless, whether early or late, they come home or they are home and there is no Trayvon.  How old is this little brother? Why didn’t Traci Martin say, “Hey little man, where’s your brother?” Why didn’t little brother say, “Hey dad, Trayvon didn’t come home, and some crazy stuff went down here earlier tonight.”  It doesn’t make sense.  I read here it’s Brandi Green’s kid, Chad, and he’s 14.  He should have known what happened or at least been concerned by Trayvon’s absence, no?  My guess is some combination of Chad, Brandi, and Traci were not there, didn’t come until very late or the next day, or were getting high, or Trayvon was gone a few days and unsupervised, or they were doing something else embarassing which is why they didn’t really look for Trayvon that night, whether they were there or not.

Who Commits a Murder When He Knows the Cops are Coming Because He Called Them?  Zimmerman calls cops and knows they’re on way. Why in hell’s name would he also proceed to intentionally kill Travyon in accord with the second degree murder charge?  Does that make sense?  And does it make sense he’d start a fistfight under those circumstances, if his aim was to kill, and he had a gun on him the whole time?  If he started fight–since we’re all analyzing the depth of his head gash on the jail video–how many contusions, bruises, gashes and the like appear on the angelic Trayvon in his autopsy?  In other words, did Zimmerman land any punches?  And, if no, can he in any world be called the aggressor?

The Top Secret 7-11 Visit.  Travyon supposedly went to the store to get “tea and skittles” for his younger brother.  Where’s the video of him at that store?  Why isn’t the “last scene of his young life tragically cut short” not being played on endless loop on the TV news?  Why hasn’t clerk been interviewed?  Does this information exist? Is something embarrassing on the tape? Did he shoplift?  Was he home with his Dad “watching NBA” or home alone, since other accounts say folks on a date, or home with this unnamed younger brother? See above.  Is this story–which originated with Benjamin Crump, the occasionally dishonest family lawyer–a  bunch of nonsense to make the 17 year old Trayvon appear both noble and childlike?  Don’t know.  Some say the video’s been turned over to investigators.  But the media should be looking into all this, but they’re so lazy and prejudiced on this it’s not even funny.
