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 Zimmerman’s 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 Corey’s 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 Zimmerman’s 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.
Zimmerman’s 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 Zimmerman’s 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.”
Hogwash! Mistake my foot. This was intentional on the part of the prosecution and aided and abetted by this kangaroo court judge. Bravo Sierra.
In re phone records:
What about Trayvon's Phone Records? Unfortunately, since Z is up on murder charges, the defense probably cannot do much to paint a true picture of the young thug, much as the victim in a rape case cannot be impugned on his/her reputation to date.
The prosecution can count on that. But, it would be far more convenient for the prosecution to duck the whole trial. That would leave Z still open to Federal charges and to the Civil Suits.
I am pretty sure, the way this is biased, Trayvon was setting up a trap. I have seen them behave that way, much like the “surprize film crew” of the beating in LA.
Something stinks in this stuff. I have seen these kids loitering in movie theaters and making noises, provoking day in and day out. THis smells like little commi agitprop cells. You also have arab muslims sometimes walking out into flash mobs like this against Israel.
IT’s like a creature showing boobs and use that for a conversation and energy domination trap on her terms. The whole thing smells of an entrapment or the spinning of it as a perfect entrapment of opportunity.
Zimmerman was trapped into this.
“...witch”?
Oh well, even the best spell checker can be fooled once in awhile.
Space bar attack.
I think they will turn out. I understand your argument and i think if it were a rational vote you would be correct. That sector is not going to vote rationally.
As a retired major crimes detective Sergeant for a Sheriff’s Department, with 30 years of service, I completely agree with the lieutenant.
Frankly, this was deliberate. IF everything about this case had aboveboard, then I might conclude this to have been incompetence, but this has been a lynching from day one.
Accident...yeah, right.
This, of course, was not an accident. Prosecutors do not make those kinds of “accidents”. At first I thought that the prosecutor was throwing in the towel, giving the defense a reason to call for a mis-trial and dismissal of charges at the same time.
Then I remembered the bimbo prosecutor that was appointed and started to wonder if she didn’t do it to ramp up public out cry and prevent the judge from dismissing the charges.
Ha! The “typo” was deliberate. Glad you caught it.
Wasn’t it just some weeks ago that the key word was “botched”? Since “botched” might get unconsciously associated with F&F, we need to use “screw-up” instead. These thought- clowns are so predictable. LOL
Now that is a good question. Can any legal scholars answer that???
And DeeDee's phone records -- because if they don't fit, they must acquit.
BTW if he was on the phone with DeeDee at the time of the assault, then how come they found his headphones tucked neatly away in his pocket???
And why would he take the Skittles and beverage out of the 7-Eleven bag found there at the scene and put them away in his pockets as well???
Was he freeing up his hands for his premeditated assault???
I have a feeling that before Crump coughs up those phone records and before the state coughs up that toxicology report, the state will dismiss the case. I suspect that what is in those is that damaging.
She should be disbarred and run out of town on a rail.
Absolutely disgusting the way she has run this case.
Actually, the earbuds -- not headphones -- were found in the grass, still attached to Trayvon's phone. One is circled, the other is close to where the pavement meets the grass.
They're #7 on the map and were found about 50 feet away from where Geroge says he was attacked.
The Skittles were never in the bag. Check out the 7-11 video, he put them in his pocket at the store.
But there is no doubt that the Skittles and the can of watermelon juice [aka ice tea] had both been taken out of the bag and tucked away. Why do that unless you are trying to free up your hands for some reason.
You're right -- but the can of watermelon juice sure did go in the bag. Why take it out and tuck it away then???
You are right, the SPD handling of evidence in this case was murky.

"an inventory was being conducted of Martin's person. I noticed the items collected for evidence were a bag of skittles, an Arizona ice tea can and head phones."
Serino said:
"The victim had $40.15 in US currancy, a bag of skittles candy, a red 7-11 red lighter in his pockets, headphones next to him, and a photo pin on his sweatshirt. After making inquires I was told that the Arizona lce Tea can was from inside the victim's Sweatshirt pocket and had come out while first aid was being given."
The 7-11 bag was found on the sidewalk close to Martin's body. It is marked #2. Why would Martin take the can out of the bag at the spot where he was shot? Was he carrying the empty bag just for the heck of it? If he had intended to jump Zimmerman at the 'T' wouldn't he have gotten rid of it before jumping him?
Humm ... maybe Martin should have used the bag to smother Zimmerman. Zimmerman said Martin covered his mouth and nose, yet he was able to scream "HELP" loudly and clearly, over and over again. How was that possible?
Have you seen this article?
It was a magical can ...
In the photo in post #55, it states that the can was found in Martin's waistband. Maybe he wanted to free up his hands because he wanted to smoke a joint???
