The police incident report tells a new narrative about what happened in the Trayvon Martin case between the teenager and shooter George Zimmerman. Where some see a rush to judgment against Zimmerman, others see a besieged police department justifying its investigation.


Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman first fist and threw it down, then sat on the captain's watch area fell and hit his head on the ground.

This is a story by Mr. Zimmerman of the argument on February 26, which ended when he shot Trayvon, according to the Orlando Sentinel, who received the police about the incident. Zimmerman told police that he lost his sight Trayvon and returned to his car when he encountered and attacked for 17 years.

How do these new details to change the nature of the case? In the end, at which point the story was framed at the expense of family Trayvon, which portrays him as a young man innocent Trayvon held private militia.

The police in Sanford, Florida, Zimmerman confirmed that Trayvon accused of confrontation and insist that he was a man, witnesses heard the call for help. Some witnesses maintain Zimmerman expense, according to unnamed sources quoted by local media.

"I think when the evidence comes out, it will show that George Zimmerman was acting in self-defense in this case," said Craig early, Zimmerman attorney, on Monday appearance on the NBC "Today" show.

Some commentators point to the history of the Zimmerman as evidence that the media rushed to blame the shooting.

"I said from day one, then rush to judgment, and I see in the media .... I think maybe now that more information came out, people might be a little more responsible," said the owner of Fox News Sean Hannity on his show.

Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the new expense of outrage that spread across America as a result of the police decision not to arrest Sanford Zimmerman for the shooting.

Zimmerman, of course, to get in the best light, claiming self-defense, in this view. Witnesses, who confirmed his story are still rare and anonymously. Other witnesses tell a different story - an unknown 16-year-old girl said she Trayvon called to say he was charged and tried to escape, for example.

Press leaks will not reduce the heat to the police Sanford, editor of Slate says Emily Bazelon piece on behalf of the police in the murder.

"The country has already fallen in love with Trayvon Martin. If the police want Sanford to convince us they were right, leaving him a murderous fire, they will have to prove it. They will have a hearing in open court, leaks are not anonymous," says Ms. Bazelon.

"CBS This Morning" on Tuesday, the family's lawyer, Martin, Ben Crump, said Sanford police prevents the national stage and are now trying a classic "blame the victim" response.

Mr. Crump has accused local law enforcement agencies trying to "fix" the stories of witnesses whose memories are different from the stories Zimmerman agreed actions in self-defense.

Crump added that the most important data in case of a strip 911 that Zimmerman did not listen when the operator said he did not have to go out of their car and spend a teenager hood, it is considered suspicious.

"The only thing that has the February 26, George Zimmerman, and obeyed the police entered his car and went to hunt Trayvon Martin, to cause death of the meeting," said family lawyer Martin.

Trayvon Martin Case: in The U.S. Could lead to Hate Crimes Charges, George Zimmermann

The Justice Department could bring a hate crime charge against George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin if there is sufficient evidence the slaying was motivated by racial bias.

 U.S. Department of Justice may charge a hate crime against the shooter in the murder of black teenager in Florida Trayvon Martin, if there is sufficient evidence that the murder was motivated by racial prejudice, and not just a battle control spiral, lawyers and former prosecutors say.

So far only one such area code publicly against Zimmerman 28 years, George, captain of the Neighbourhood Watch, who shot Martin 17 to February 26 in central Florida city of Sanford. In one of his 911 to the police that night, Zimmerman muttered something that some listeners sounds like an insult to say racist. Zimmerman's father white and mother is Spanish.

"It seems pretty clear to me," said Donald Tibbs, Drexel University law professor, who carefully studied the race, civil rights and criminal procedure. "If it was a racial epithet, which preceded the attack on Trayvon Martin, of course, we have a hate crime."

Others say that the picture is not clear enough to determine that said Zimmerman. And many experts say should be more evidence that he harbored racial bias against black and went to Martin for this reason alone. Previously, he was in a complex theft committed by young black men, possibly suspicious Zimmerman room when he saw Martin.

"They have to show that this person because of race, to focus, religion, color, and so on," said David C. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor in Miami. "It's not that he was behind someone came down and in the confrontation, which may or may not be on this basis. "

Zimmerman's parents, in a letter to a local newspaper, was their son is not a racist, and the number of black residents of the neighborhood where Martin was shot only positive things to say about Zimmerman. Zimmerman is not charged with a crime, claiming self-defense under Florida's "stand on his" law, a person who is obliged to retreat, when the threat of serious bodily harm or death are removed. Martin says he was attacked while walking to his car, police said.

"It's not a racist," prosecutor Craig Ring talks about his client. "The incident, which was not a racist or a hate crime in any way."

"Standing on its" laws in force in about two dozen more states are under control. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, DN.Y., on Sunday sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to ask the federal investigation to determine the killings are not prosecuted because the laws are too burden on local governments.

His parents Martin and hundreds of supporters say Zimmerman should be immediately arrested and charged with the murder of a young man, but local police say that there is little evidence to refute his claim of self-defense. The jury will convene April 10 to consider the fact that government spending is second-degree murder or murder can accommodate.

Upon receipt of no-confidence vote of the commission, the police chief, Bill Lee announced last week he was temporarily stepping aside from his post. City Manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr., said that officials want the problem to be resolved fairly.

Trayvon Martin case: a Vote of no Confidence in Police Chief Sanford

Trayvon Martin case: a Vote of no Confidence in Police Chief Sanford: In the tense meeting on Wednesday that underscored growing tensions on the set of Dea

h an unarmed black teenager, local officials in Sanford, Florida, passed a vote of no confidence in the police chief as protests spread to the north of New York, where the parents took the young man was killed in March in Manhattan require arrest the murderer.

Measurement of no confidence has increased from 3 to 2, after more than an hour discussion, and if it is not necessary, as a result of the public and the groans and applause punctuated the debate highlighted by exciting the wrath of Orlando suburb for about a month after a 17 - year Trayvon Martin died on 26 February. Much of this anger is directed at the fact that the killer has confessed, 28 years old, George Zimmerman, who was described as Latino, and white, was not arrested.

Dozens of residents gathered in Sanford Sanford City Hall, where the City Commission, Mark McCarthy set the tone for the meeting, acknowledging that he called for the overthrow of the Chief of Police Bill Lee 10 days ago at a meeting with the head of the city, Norton N. Bonaparte Jr.

"I take no pleasure from the public flogging of our police chief. This is a good man," said McCarthy.

But McCarthy said the issues surrounding the case, and negative publicity thrown on the town after the murder, were largely the result of improper handling of the investigation. Questions, he said, include whether the police were too quick to accept the claim that Zimmerman fired in self-defense, despite the fact that Martin was not armed and that witnesses described hearing someone calling for help before the shot was heard .

A lawyer representing the family, Martin, Benjamin Crump, said the teenager was on a cell phone with his girlfriend and was concerned, he was followed by a strange man in the last seconds before it is slaughtered. And the two women who live near shooting scene said that Martin was lying face down, with Zimmerman hanging over him after he was shot.

"If it was self-defense, why does he [Zimmerman] on the back Trayvon?" One witness, Mary Cutcher, told CNN, in an interview.

City commissioners Patty Mahany and Randy Jones opposed the motion of censure, saying the city should await the outcome of the grand jury investigation is scheduled for April 10, and the Department of Justice investigations. "It's fast decision in a situation which will not," said Mahany, a call vote of no confidence in the "reflex".

Only the city administration, Bonaparte, Lee can be done, or to demand his resignation, and he gave no indication he was considering it. But as speaker after speaker, black and white, took the microphone to ask why Zimmerman was not arrested, it became clear that Napoleon faced with pressure showed no signs of abating.

The Reverend Al Sharpton is connected to a rally in Sanford on Thursday, and the city planned for hundreds or even thousands of people at a special meeting Monday night to focus on the case.

Union Square in Manhattan, hundreds of people marched in memory of teen killed in the alleged March Hoodie million on Wednesday, including the parents of Martin. Martin was wearing a hoodie, when he was killed while walking to a shop, where he bought some sweets and drinks.

"We will not stop until we get justice," said the father of a teenager, Tracy Martin, thanking the crowd in New York, who chanted "We want to arrest," according to The Associated Press.

"My son did not deserve to die," the mother of a teenager, Sybrina Fulton, told the crowd, reports AP. «My heart is in pain, but also to see the support from everyone who is actually a difference."

More than a dozen people spoke at the meeting of Sanford, the vast majority of black residents complain that the Police Department was quick to stop the black, leaving gaps for the accused of similar crimes in the wild. Several speakers reported arbitrary arrests and harassment by the police.

"I was born and raised in Sanford, and I have had this problem many times," said Robin Riggins, a black woman.

The resident, however, ruled in favor of Lee, saying that the case should be allowed to "go his own way."

"There are two sides to every story," said a resident, a white man who said he lived in Sanford for decades. "We can not rush to judgment and CEO Lee will be responsible for any What happens if we find in the investigation, he did his job."

He noted that Lee was on the job only 10 months.

Previous leader was forced to resign after a protest at the beating of black man in downtown Sanford white man, who is the son of a policeman. The police did not arrest a person, even if the beating was captured on video.
