Some points of interest:
- ABC News reports:
The lead homicide investigator in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin
recommended that neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, multiple sources told ABC News.
But Sanford, Fla., Investigator Chris Serino was instructed to not press charges against Zimmerman because the state attorney's office headed by Norman Wolfinger determined there wasn't enough evidence to lead to a conviction, the sources told ABC News.
- Hinterland Gazette:
It should be noted that
George Zimmerman may have received favorable treatment from the police because of his family. According to court records,
his father is retired Supreme Court Magistrate Judge Robert Zimmerman and
his mother Gladys Zimmerman
was a court clerk. Connections in the legal community run deep and go far.
- RollingOut.com:
According to a records search on George,
he was previously arrested for domestic violence, resisting an officer without violence and most shockingly, resisting an officer with violence — a felony charge that surely could have landed him in prison.
All three of those arrests, however, were mysteriously closed with no semblance of charges for the Florida resident. So how was someone with a violent past including that of battery against an officer able to carry a 9 mm handgun? Maybe that’s a question Robert Zimmerman should answer.

Witness: Sanford police "Blew us off" in teen slaying
witness Mary Cutcher said she knew the truth. Cutcher said police only took a two or three sentence statement from her, but it took about 30 minutes to tell WFTV the story.
"
The cries stopped as soon as the gun went off, so I know it was the little boy," Cutcher said.
According to a partial police report, Cutcher is one of six witnesses that Sanford police took a statement from.
Cutcher said it was short, and police never questioned her in detail until after she repeatedly reached out to them.
"Blew us off, and I called him back again and I said, "I know this was not self-defense. There was no punching, no hitting going on at the time, no wrestling,'" Cutcher said.
Cutcher said she believes whatever confrontation there was, it ended before they got to her backyard.
She also said she believes Zimmerman continued to chase Martin as he tried to get home.
