From the police report it appears that Trayvon had been there for about a week since his suspension. That’s what Traydad told the police. A week of unsupervised suspension.
I’ll bet the 14 year old would say that Tray came and went at all hours of the day and night, and the fact that he wasn’t around from 6 to whenever was not out of the ordinary.
I’m sure the parents are carrying a load of guilt, but dumping it on GZ just adds insult to injury. They should be ashamed to darken the doors of a church.
There is almost no way a marginal student can recover from a two week suspension from school, especially if he is left unsupervised. You might think that his parents would be demanding that he spend all of his time studying and doing homework, strictly confined to the house. Staying out late at night would seem to be ruled out completely, not only for the student, but also for his parents.
The effect of many news articles and editorials on this subject changes dramatically if you substitute the word “unsupervised” for the word “unarmed.” e.g., “Mr. Martin was un-(————) when he encountered Mr. Zimmerman.”
But ... but ... but ... didn’t you tell me that Trayvon only arrived in Sanford that Sunday afternoon???
O'Mara tried to get the judge to agree that the prosecution couldn't cross-examine Zimmerman if he took the stand. Instead he suggested that the judge only ask questions of Zimmerman. Wow, just wow.
