GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and older brother, Jahvaris Fulton, 21, were in New York City on Thursday for an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, not thinking they were going to visit Madison Square Garden the following day.

But New York Knicks All-Star Carmelo Anthony had an invitation awaiting the family, including Martin's younger brother who is 3½ years old.

Anthony met privately with the family in the Knicks' locker room and posed for pictures before New York's 103-65 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday. Fearing additional media attention, the family did not stay for the game.

"[It was] a blessing, an honor," Anthony said after Knicks practice Saturday, in regards to meeting Martin's family. "We all know the tragedy that happened, and just to get in a different space of mind right now, just bringing them to not even the game, but to the locker room in the back, meeting all the players, meeting the coaches, that was the easy part. We had no media there. It was just something that I wanted to do."

2. Good TV discussion at the link

As for the "leaked" police report, Angela Corey worked with the police department who issued the report with supposed witness who saw Zimmerman's head being pounded on concrete. If this report is true, there would never have been a murder 2 charge.

There are also witnesses who said they were on grass not concrete. I guess they were thorough in interviewing all neighbors in the area.
