commended Chief Hurley for “decreasing school-related juvenile delinquency by an impressive 60 percent for the last six months of 2011.”

This reminds me of the School Superintendent in Atlanta who got all sorts of awards (even $) for improving the grades/test scores....then the truth comes out - it's all a sham...big cheating scandal.....

I hope this gets reported - I've read it in a few places during the trial but not getting NEAR the exposure it should!!! I believe he was "casing" the neighborhood that night based on his past behavior.

I believe he was "casing" the neighborhood that night based on his past behavior.

What behavior is that?

Up to the point of contact, Marin's "behavior" was no different from millions of other teenagers walking home.

As an formerly "unruly teenager" I can actually put myself in Marin's shoes that night.

And believe me, when I was younger, I was carrying alot more than "skittles and iced tea" at times...

And like my parents who were completely unaware of my nocturnal activities,(smoking, drinking, fighting, minor crimes etc.) so are alot of Freepers who think their kiddies are little angels tucked in their beds.

There’s also the report from a Sanford cop that he found a slim jim (burglery tool) in the bushes near the altercation a couple days after the event.
