I know this is a question on a minor point...and I might have missed it, but: Did anyone ever find those skittles and iced tea that Trayvon claims he went to buy? They keep referring to them, but I don’t recall anyone actually finding them and holding them as evidence. I have heard that “skittles” is a street slang term for prescription drugs. So, was it really candy he went to get...or was he looking to find some drugs, maybe from a home he was looking to enter or something?
Yes, it was in the affidavit of probable cause. At the bond hearing, it was even stated that he paid for them.
Here is a quote from the bond hearing found here.
DE LA RIONDA: And isn't it a fact to prove that and you have verified that he actually went to that 7-Eleven store and bought some Skittles and a can of tea? Did he not?
GILBREATH: Yes.
DE LA RIONDA: And there's a video of that?
GILBREATH: Correct.
DE LA RIONDA: And he paid for it. He didn't steal or anything. Is that correct?
GILBREATH: Yes.
I’ve asked several times if anyone has seen convenience store security footage and/or a cash register tape with the Skittles and IT transaction. Nothing yet.
