The bigger the magnifying glass on this case the better chance for justice. I smell too many “dogs” in this case.

Zimmerman was on another call the media has played in which he said he did not want to get too close to the perp following him so it was not his habit to confront the people he called about. Interesting take on why things may have transpired regarding Zimmerman’s past activism and how it relates to the handling of this case.

The police did nothing wrong. Followed the law to the letter.

Zimmerman killed Martin. No doubt. He is being a man and taking responsibility. For having the weapon, and for it discharging during a struggle. I have little doubt that Martin pulled on the gun or reached for the trigger, and being young and dumb didn’t think about the fact that the gun was pointing at his own chest. It is sad he had to die that way, but he took that path. He could have made a better choice. That still does not take away the feeling that, although not your fault, you killed someone. Zimmerman apologized to the Martins. Called ‘ill-advised’ timing wise, Zimmerman felt it moral and responsible.

The police and prosecutor let Zimmerman go. Everything was fine. Everyone understood pretty much what happened, even Martin’s parents.

THEN, about a month later, suddenly it’s headline news. Someone fed this incident to someone who fed it to someone else until it got to our ruling masters, and they proceeded to start dancing on the coffin of Trayvon.

National politics and the national media got involved, and everything went to hell from there.

How they got involved is not even the issue. That the usual slimebags jumped on it, and that they jumped before looking is. They are pretty desperate.

If true, some of the more crucial facts are beginning to surface. I wonder if those detective wannabes are honest enough to admit to their rushes to judgement.

For those with a strong interest in this case, I recommend:

(1) theconservativetreehouse.com

(2) wagist.com

These two sites have assembled amazing archives on this case.

Photos, maps, time lines, and dozens of quotes and details that have not been published by the national press.

“Tree House” has highly detailed information on how and when the Trayvon Martin legal and publicity team were assembled.

“Tree House” also has a direct quote from the Lead Detective saying he NEVER argued for a manslaughter charge against Zimmerman.

The excerpts here miss the most important part of the article.

Zimmerman had intervened on behalf of a black victim of a police officer’s son. The son had attacked the black man but because his father was LEO, got away with it. Zimmerman distributed flyers in the black community.

Therefore it’s possible that the police misled Tracy Martin, implied that Zimmerman was going to be arrested (after all, Zimmerman’s a trouble-maker in the eyes of LEO), in order to get back at Zimmerman. It backfired (or perhaps it was Serino’s intention that it backfire) when the prosecutor refused to charge Zimmerman and it became a race issue nationally.

But why did Martin senior contact the lawyer?

Obviously, he smelled "da money".
