From what I understand, T. Martin was NOT a permanent resident there but living in his fathers place once his mother shuttled him back to the dad. I believe the mother HAD custody prior to that time.
Apparently the mother could no longer control or handle him (not unlike many people 17 year olds) and hopeing his father could give him some parental guidance.
Unfortunately for the entire family, good ole Trayvon was already lost to the “statistics” of one on a death or jail time path. We all know how that turned out.
Actually, the house belonged to the girlfriend of Trayvon’s father. So, he was just bunking there as well. Incidentally, is it true that Trayvon’s dad had a gang tattoo covered before the trial began?
The mother was long gone, it was the step-mother who was raising him in Miami.......
