South Florida Times shows why you can't believe what you read in the papers:

Zimmerman - Waiting For More Discovery


While we wait for the next round of discovery in the Zimmerman case, we note, by way of Google News, this amusing commentary in the South Florida Times:

Brace for worst in Trayvon Martin case

Written by Donald Jones

Sanford police arrested George Zimmerman after he shot and killed Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26. Then they gave him back his gun.

No drug tests were done to see if Zimmerman was under the influence of drugs at the time. Perhaps the most critical evidence that was lost was the clothes Zimmerman wore when he shot Trayvon. The police allowed him to wear the clothes home. The critical Crime Scene Investigation forensics that should have been done immediately were not done. No real investigation would begin until more than 30 days later.

The state, in prosecuting Zimmerman, is like a basketball team 30 points behind before the game begins.


[ Not a bit of truth in that but there it was in the press. ]

On the bright side, I like the basketball metaphor! However, Zimmerman's clothes were held by the police (his wife brought him a change before he went home) and the police have held onto his gun.

I worry that Mr. Jones is sitting in Marlin's Park waiting for the next Heat-Celtics game.

The CNN article below gets the clothing right, but also duplicates other mistakes.

He ended up turning over his clothes to police but, after being questioned and putting on a change of clothes brought in by his wife, he headed home.
