Martin family lawyer: Video "icing on the cake" ("...that police report is a fabrication.")
CBSNews ^ | March 29, 2012

Posted on 03/29/2012 6:49:55 AM PDT by maggief

CBS News) Police surveillance video that appears to conflict with a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer's account of a confrontation with the teenager he eventually gunned down, Trayvon Martin, was called "the icing on the cake" by the Martin family's attorney on "CBS This Morning" Thursday.

Attorney Ben Crump told Erica Hill and Charlie Rose that the video refutes George Zimmerman's claims of shooting Martin in self-defense. The video, obtained by ABC News, shows Zimmerman, without any obvious injuries, being led into police headquarters in Sanford, Fla., after the shooting. Zimmerman's father and lawyer have said Martin attacked Zimmerman in his gated community, breaking his nose with a punch to the face and slamming the back of his head against the sidewalk.

"Thank God for surveillance video," said Crump, "because obviously there was a conspiracy to cover up the truth and sweep Trayvon Martin's death under the rug, and as (Martin's mother) Sybrina Fulton said yesterday upon seeing this video, 'This is the icing on the cake.'"

Won’t be much of a war.
Especially since they comprise only 13% of the population, and that’s even counting children, babies and elderly............

You can be absolutely certain that Eric Holder will prosecute Zimmerman for a hate crime for using the word "coon," which he never uttered.

Facts don't matter.

If some African Americans did not have the victim card to play, they would have to get real jobs, and for sure, Rev Al would be out of work.

From Barry on down, ‘it’s not my fault’, ‘someone else made me do it’, ‘someone else DID it’, even tho video and eyewitness accounts prove the contrary, and my personal favorite ‘it’s raaacissst’.

They never learn from their past mistakes, either, just like Barry. Tawana Brawley, Duke LaCrosse Team, and now this fiasco.

EMS report is critical and the state is sitting on it and released the video instead

I always pegged the Daily Caller as a modern day RINO rag. But they are doing some good work on this case.

Sure he knows the cops and the EMTs, the the hospital staff that treated his broken nose.
All a big conspiracy.

God, I feel so bad for blacks in this country raised to be perpetual victims while other minority groups come to the USA and pass them educationally and economically.
Must be a bitch, huh?

If the ‘blacks’ continue to get up in arms and continue this threatening behavior as we go into the election, I don’t see how it can help Obama. Especially with the AG protected New Black Panthers..... If we are not protected from this ranting, looting, and hate.......America will not think favorably of a ‘black’ president.

Trayvon’s death was the cake and the video is the icing.

Well that’s what it sounds like the atty is saying. Sick, but what coming out of that side of this incident is not sick?

This video plus the chance that he may know some of these cops from all the 911 calls he has made is not good for his already bogus defense.

Thank you Sherlock Holmes....you've already solved the case without leaving your computer or examining any evidence and have declared Zimmerman guilty.

Yes but all evidence will be handed over to the defense...it HAS to be by law.
And the medical report by the hospital about treating Zimmerman’s broken nose will be entered into evidence too.
I guess the fix is in with the hospital as well.

Exactly. Obama’s little buddies will cost him the elections with this anti white race hustling violent lynch mob crap.

Reminds me of this snippet from a Sci-fi/Fantasy book...

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

"Long hot summer..." and all that. This is shaping up to the be the worst political silly season of my Generation.

Keep us all in your prayers.

It was mentioned on another thread that drug parlance (slang) is:

SKITTLES = Ecstasy.
ARIZONA TEA = PCP laced joints of pot.

(now back to the claim by the parents)

Just think. If Trayvon had not been shot, he would be the only ‘gangsta’ that ate real skittles and drank tea.

Perhaps that fact was embarrassing enough that his death should be considered a suicide.
