I don't know where the story about the younger soon-to-be step-brother came from. In Martin's father's version of that night, Trayvon was not home when he returned, but he wasn't too worried because Trayvon had been spending time with an older cousin. If there was a 13-year-old in the house waiting for candy, you would think that would have come up. You would think the younger boy might have observed all the emergency vehicles outside earlier, too. I conclude from this that there was no younger boy in the house. That is a deduction, not an assumption, if you're keeping score at home.)
Martin definitely did not have a younger brother of his own. His mother told ABC News that he was her youngest. The NBA All-Star Game was on that evening. Tip-off was seven minutes after Martin was pronounced dead at the scene. Yet other stories persist that he went out during halftime for the Skittles.
In other words, there are a whole lot of things that keep getting repeated in story after story, even though (as in the case of the Skittles) many would be utterly irrelevant, even if they were true.

I want to sort it out because I want to know if the media is making this stuff up.
The source is on FR.
I thought it was speculative but the game itself is NOT speculative ~ it was going on. There's a reference above to the father's story ~ read it.
PLUS ~ the mother lives in MIami. I doubt she got all the details correct when the father called her from Orlando to tell her Trayvon was dead.
