Last I heard, the items he was caught with were suspicious, but burglary or receiving stolen goods had not been proven.

It had not been proven because the school police chief, wanting to look good and make his little fiefdom seem like it was lowering crime statistics, REFUSED to actually look into or turn over the evidence to the Police as "stolen goods." Instead, they were listed as "found." The FACT that they were "found" in the possession of Saint Martin was never reported to the police.

As a matter of fact, this chief lost his job, because once all the Martin/Zimmerman stuff came to light, his officers turned evidence on him and told about his refusal to allow them to report actual crimes occurring in the school district.

I read that the jewelry items matched the description of stolen items from the victim in the gated community.
