AUGUST 9--In an embarrassing screw-up, Florida prosecutors today accidentally distributed a post-mortem photo of Trayvon Martin as well as copies of George Zimmermans college records, material that Florida law considers confidential and exempt from disclosure.
The documents were inadvertently included in supplemental discovery records distributed this morning by prosecutor Angela Coreys office. The material was sent to a variety of media outlets, including TSG, that have paid fees to receive discovery provided by the government to Zimmermans lawyer.
The photocopied picture of Martin was one of three taken by an unnamed witness. The photo mistakenly released by Corey is a black and white copy of an image depicting the teenager lying face down on a lawn.
After distributing the picture, a Corey aide sent an e-mail to reporters noting that a photo depicting the killing of a person was confidential and exempt pursuant to state law.
Zimmermans Seminole State College of Florida records--61 pages in total--include his original application to the community college and his class transcripts. The documents detailed Zimmermans poor grades, which landed him on academic probation last year.
Zimmerman, who was studying for an associate degree in criminal justice, did not graduate last year due to a failed class. Following the February 26 shooting of the unarmed Martin, Zimmerman was issued administrative withdrawals for three classes in the Spring 2012 term with no fees charged against his account.
You gotta go take that nap...like I said, you might want to get the old hormones checked...get yourself more energy...act less like a cranky teeny-bopper...
Instead of joining the debate, your first post on this thread . . . your first post to me ever in my ten plus years as a freeper . . . was to solely call me a piece of filth. I wouldnt expect that of a supposedly mature adult. And I imagine you thought you were being witty when you called me Bitch Babe behind my back. Fail.
I know your type, youll be the first to hit the abuse button and call me a racist if I dare to say a word against your god and hero: George Zimmerman. Call me whatever you want; your opinion means less than nothing to me and doesnt change the fact that George Zimmerman is a murderer. That you refuse to admit/recognize that fact tells me a lot about your character . . . or lack thereof.
Can you discuss the case instead of merely attacking me and other posters?
Zimmerman kept his ass out of the emergency room the night he says his head was allegedly hit against the concrete so hard that he was losing consciousness. His brother said he was on the verge of becoming a spoon-fed vegetable. However, the photos contradict that and he didn't tell that to the EMTs or they would have taken him to the emergency room.
Zimmerman did not go to his doctor's office until he needed a medical release for work. And yet again, he did not go to the specialist suggested by the PA who treated him for a possible nasal fracture that would have been confirmed one way or another by an ENT.
For these allegedly serious injuries, Zimmerman did not do the suggested follow up and he made sure there was no chance of any of his blood being drawn the night he killed Trayvon.
He appeared so freakin' calm that I'm really wondering what his blood pressure was. I know the EMTS said that his respirations were within normal limits, so there was no hyperventilating or panic attack evident. In fact, Zimmerman did not act in any manner that I would have expected after just taking a life or, this part is vital . . . after allegedly being in fear of losing his own life.
If I had been the PA who treated him the day after the killing, I would have taken x-rays and ordered blood work done, including Adderall levels, to be certain he was taking his medications as ordered . . . just to make sure there was no misuse of the drugs.
Considering the medications that Zimmerman was on at the time he killed Trayvon and their ability to have an effect on him mentally, the prosecution should pursue his medical records. There are certainly valid reasons. The fact that he was prescribed a mixed cocktail of mood-altering drugs, linked to a CCP for a sidearm, could very well be relevant.
