I just dug out a Reuters story from a few weeks ago attributing the NBA halftime, "younger brother Chad," Skittles and iced tea story to the Martin family attorney, Ben Crump. It's the earliest mention I could find

This is troublesome to me for several reasons:

First, we know that Trayvon was dead before the All-Star Game began, so he clearly did not go out during halftime.

Second, we know that Trayvon did not have a younger brother, but possibly the lawyer, or the reporter simply misheard the part about Chad being the son of Mr. Martin's fiance, and future step-brother. But the idea that there was a 13 year old boy waiting at the house for candy all night, yet Trayvon's father wasn't worried simply doesn't jibe. The father also does not mention anything of the kind in his own account of that night.

Now, I assume the family would know what was found in Trayvon's pockets, and I now have no reason to doubt that it was indeed Skittles, iced tea and $22, as reported.

There’s a police report concerning what they found. The cellphone (for which there is a phone log from the phone company) indicates he had a cellphone with him. That doesn’t show up on the police report.
