What confuses me about the police report is that it list 3 adult witnesses, yet an ABC news report yesterday named a 13 year old "Austin Brown" as a juvenile witness, and he is not included in the police report.

I found it odd that ABC listed the name of a juvenile, as I thought privacy rules prohibited this practice.

Only when they are victims, not perps or witnesses.

The report, filed by Sanford police officer Ricardo Ayala, indicates that there were at least six witnesses — three men and three women — who saw or heard some part of the events that led to Martin’s death. They ranged in age from 19 to 56, and included five people described as “white.” The race of the sixth witness was listed as “O,” meaning “other.”

I also question ABC's decision to release the name of a minor witness.
