it's a shame Trayvon wasn't taught to me more polite to gun-toting racist vigilantes...he had just been polite, he'd be alive today
that's another rw meme i see on the 'net constantly. and they are in a tither about the liberal media's photo conspiracy. they still believe the photo of a young black man gesturing gang signs is Trayvon, enough though it is not.

"evidence", on a largely anonymous BB is now a lynch mob?

Who knew? But I suspect my grandfather would have felt differently.

i am positive the poster was referring to the hysteria on the right about this case. i'i saw that "lynch mob" meme posted many times on the daily beast yesterday. question zimmerman's account = "lynch mob" to wingnuts.

No indication one way or the others. Clearly they should have.

If they exist they would be in the State Attorney's possession. At some point they will have to be shared with the defense.

introduced in court as part of the bail hearing. The media is doing a helleva job infecting this case. Just like people think that picture of the wrong Trayvon is the victim, people will now assume this new picture has some kind of authentication because it was released the day of the bail hearing. Somebody's working awfully hard

police station? Or did he go home between the shooting and going to the police station? I doubt it. The time line is very important here.

Police show up at a homicide scene. They have to tend to Martin, secure the scene to preserve evidence, question Zimmerman, and begin interviewing witnesses. So, we are to believe they let a neighbor stroll in there and start taking pictures of the suspect/victim 2 minutes after they arrive? That seems rather farfetched.
If anything, they would be shooing people to the perimeter and keepng them away from Zimmerman.
