I am not accusing and only making an observation here.
Trayvon’s mother has been quoted as saying things that make me scratch my head. Like she has been fed different stories. One she says Trayvon was sitting on a porch when he was killed. She has also said Trayvon went to the store because he was bored.
She is quite torn up and I can understand how that is— she was obviously crazy about her son. But it also makes me wonder what all Trayvon’s father has told her, too. I don’t know why but I’ve been puzzling and wondering about the dad for a few days now. It is also interesting that the dad says it is not Trayvon on the tape, now he says it is? He also didn’t hunt Trayvon straight away.
The Skittles story could have come from Trayvon’s girlfriend, maybe? She was supposedly on the phone on and off the whole time he walked to and from the store. Maybe Trayvon told her he was going to get his little brother Skittles?
I give his mother a lot of leeway. I've lost a son myself and it is devastating enough without media attention. I also wouldn't consider her a source for any facts about that night. She wasn't there - not even in the same city.

Well, it was the local news saying that Trayvon's father had told them it did not sound like his son. There is also a witness who made a statement to the police that he saw Zimmerman on the ground yelling for help, so it doesn't much matter what anybody thinks the voice sounds like. I give the dad a lot of leeway, too, but he did not witness anything.

Could be. It gets repeated everyplace, and I just wonder where it came from, especially since other parts of the story are clearly false. I also wonder why it really matters, you know? I mean isn't it enough to say he was headed to his dad's house in the neighborhood? None of the rest makes him any more innocent.
