The Trayvon Martin / John Doe thing sounds suspicious and not like a mistake

They were just talking about this on NPR saying the parents found out where he was the next day but they would not let them see Trayvon's body. It got me wondering if they wanted the body to go down hill for several days before the parents could see it. That is if they were allowed to see it at all. Anyone have any thoughts on why they would keep the parents away from the body? Clearly they would see perhaps that he wasn't in a fight. This matters because if it were never to have gone to court, the autopsy would be irrelevant and it was important to keep the parents from seeing him and getting suspicious.

On Edit: And if it was a mistake then the police in that office are still ass holes because in their eyes Trayvon was just some hoodlum who wasn't spoused to be in a gated community and was on the wrong side of town.

I would not buy the incompetence thing, which is often used as a ruse IMO.

Your suspicious is just that: merely speculation. But there is so much amiss in this case that one can not help but be cynical... and to just accept the official explanation now seems beyond foolish.

Your theory does have some legs, yet I'm not sure it will ever be provable...

The issue is seriously the police station is completely corrupt. I have never ever ever in my life heard of people prohibiting parents or family members or waiting very late to notify family members of a body that they know information on and that he is not a John Doe. From the moment they got his cell phone they knew he was not a John Doe since that's able to track. This thing is fucked up. Simple as that.

for the police to finally inform him. The police did not proactively reach out to his father.

When the fuck was he supposed to call police and how the fuck was he pursuing Zimmerman while talking on the phone to his girlfriend?

He had a cell phone on him. Why not just dial the last number and ask that person who he was?

Trayvon's Email was full of COLLEGE APPLICATIONS!

"But Klanklannon included none of Martin's emails in his leak, because the picture they paint is of a normal high school junior preparing for college. A screenshot of Trayvon's Gmail inbox our source provided us is heartbreaking. Martin apparently used his Gmail account for his college search, and it's filled with emails about upcoming SAT tests and scholarship applications. ("Trayvon, now is the best time to take the SATs!&quot One email included the results of a career aptitude test, our source said. It "talked about his interest in aeronautics and stuff.""


IN THE FUTURE....Remember that using Nazis and people with the word "KLAN" in their user name is not a vetted source. Not only do I know why you are wrong I Know WHO told you that LIE.



Now answer me is reasoned English . You can speak English right? I have to ask because of the French name you chose.

records, they just can't start calling whatever phone numbers are on a phone. Sometime that takes a couple of days. Don't know what the hold up was in this case or why it took so long.

or that they couldn't have moved faster. Personally, I think the police were
procrastinating notifying Trayvon's family for a reason.

Once you know who your dead is, contact f next of kin is priority.

So yes, this does smell.
