Records Show Trayvon Martin’s Father Told Police It Was Not His Son’s Voice On 911 Tape, Prosecutor Used Mom’s Claim It Was Him In Sworn Probable Cause Affidavit…


That’s obviously a big no-no on special prosecutor Angela Corey’s behalf. You can’t have reasonable doubt and swear it is true on a probable cause affidavit. If anyone goes to jail here, it should be Angela Corey.

Evidence is released in the Trayvon Martin homicide — Miami Herald

[W]hen Trayvon’s father first listened to the 911 police tapes, he told detectives that it wasn’t his son’s voice crying for help. This is a critical aspect of the case, because the state attorney’s investigators cited Trayvon’s mother’s testimony that it was her son’s voice as part of the probable cause affidavit in support of the charge against Zimmerman. An FBI analyst said there was no way to tell for sure whose voice it was.

Legal scholars will agree with Zimmerman’s dad on this one:

In an interview this week with The Miami Herald, Zimmerman’s father criticized special prosecutor Angela B. Corey, whom he accused of deliberately ignoring evidence that would corroborate the self defense claim by filing a probable cause affidavit that swore to facts it’s unclear the prosecution can prove.

They went with the information they had reasonable belief that was untrue, and they swore it was true. Some day, that will come out,” Robert Zimmerman said. “Someone should go to jail over that affidavit. They will be studying it in criminal justice classes for years to come.”

Zimmerman is a retired magistrate from Virginia, and part of his job was to review affidavits and determine whether an arrest was merited.

Did he assualt a stranger, or stand his ground to a threat?

Read the stand your ground law that Zimmerman initially used to his advantage.

I am awaiting the trial, the facts so far don't appear to give the slam dunk for Zimmerman's innocence that you and your ilk so sanctimoniously claim.
