Puzzling Pieces Abound in the Trayvon Martin Case Deborah Ramirez and Tara Lai Quinlan Posted: 03/29/2012 11:21 am Huffington Post The Bloghttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/deborah-ramirez/ posthumous-profiling-puzz_b_1387887.html
. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/d4dhl7v . .There seems to be no end to the proliferation of puzzling information in the wake of the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin. While the evidence suggests that George Zimmerman racially profiled Trayvon Martin before killing him, many now wonder whether the Sanford Police posthumously profiled Trayvon as well by failing to conduct a thorough and professional investigation of his death.
. Let's review the facts. .We now hear leaks telling us that Trayvon was a delinquent who was suspended from school for marijuana possession, that he was investigated for jewelry theft, that he attacked a bus driver, and made aggressive tweets under the name "NO_LIMIT_N***A" (later determined to be a different youth). These leaks paint a picture of Trayvon as a young black male aggressor, and Zimmerman as the victim. Are these leaks attempts to distract from the real issue in the case -- the Sanford Department Police's failure to conduct a thorough and professional investigation of this homicide?
. snip .During the first 24 hours after Trayvon Martin's death, the Sanford Police Department's investigation should have included the following steps: Zimmerman should have been taken into custody on the night of the shooting because the police had probable cause to arrest him for manslaughter.
. The crime scene should have been frozen and sealed off. .Zimmerman should have been booked, processed and fingerprinted, including being photographed, blood being drawn, his clothing being seized as evidence, and toxicology tests performed. Any injuries received should have been treated and reported that night.
.Police should have canvassed the neighborhood for eyewitnesses and contacted witnesses on the 911 tapes.
.Professional homicide detectives should have been brought in immediately to the comb the sealed crime scene for evidence and evaluate it.
.Police should have contacted the District Attorney's Office for an evaluation of the case.
. Police should have re-canvassed the neighborhood the following morning.Homicide detectives should have created a 24 hour chronology of everyone who spoke to Zimmerman and Trayvon in the 24 hours before Trayvon's death, including where they went, who they talked to, and what they did, and reviewing relevant evidence including cell phone records.
.After all this initial evidence and information gathering, a homicide supervisor should have reviewed it and determined next steps, including whether there was a need for an inquest or autopsy.
