Again, you'd like to see it be handled more speedily, no doubt, but we don't know the circumstances surrounding it. Seems to me at the very least that the family and gf should have contacted hospitals and morgues in the area, maybe they did? Do you know if they called the morgues themselves? Bottom line is the dude is dead, contacting his family in a timely manner doesn't bring him back although you'd like that to be the case.
So you're telling me that the reason his parents couldn't get contacted was...a passkey?

Heaven help the people of Sanford, whose police force apparently can't find the local at&t.

But to be serious, your posts are getting increasingly lame. If the parents don't even know the boy is dead, how do they know to check the morgue? They were searching for him, to be sure, but they don't know where to look. Sure would have been nice if the cops took a moment to hit redial.

My evidence they didn't try and use the phone in a timely fashion? How about the simple fact that no one knew the kid was dead? Are you really so dumb that I have to link this?

You guys need to stop the personal attacks on a person that can't defend himself due to his being dead. It makes you look bad.

Again, just to add. You're speculating on cases that were dropped. He was not convicted of these and they cannot be brought up in court. Trayvon being suspended actually happened. They do have videos of him vandalizing and found marijuana and stolen items in his locker along with burglary tools. :P

Shit, I better not say anything bad about someone who is dead and can't defend himself. Hitler never got to defend himself, maybe he was really a swell guy.

His dad is pretty powerful, eh? He's Jewish too right? Maybe he used his Jew connections to get him off?

At the least, Zimmerman's life is over. The family of martin will file a civil suit against Zimmerman. He's basically gonna work for the Martin's.

"Pretrial diversion program." That was what he got for pushing an officer. And the domestic incident was he-said she-said with no major violence. None of this is being declared innocent of wrongdoing, and having to admit these kinds of things to the police academy? Heh. I'll just say that Zimmerman's adult history of aggressive behaviour is just as relevant as Martin's incidents of juvenile delinquincy...actually, I'll be honest: it's far more relevant, as Martin wouldn't be the one on trial for murder.

"Your honor, my client had to shoot Trayvon Martin. You see, Trayvon Martin...he does graffiti."

(ooh, I'm about to use oine of the new smilies.)

You're pretty confident. Care to make it interesting with an avatar bet? I wager he is not convicted of any criminal OR civil offenses. This is Duke Rape Case 2.0. People jumping to conclusions because of racial tension.

Did you just compare a 17 year-old boy to Hitler? You idiot.

I personally believe that Zimmerman knew exactly what he was doing, and the Sanford police gave him a pass for murder.

Zimmerman sees a black boy in a hoodie walking through his neighboord and follows him in his vehicle. He then gets out of his car to confront the boy and they engage in a scuffle. Zimmerman pulls a gun on the boy and the boy begs for his life. Zimmerman fires, killing the boy.
