The first reports had me persuaded that Martin was a victim of an over-zealous cop wannabe - who should not have left his vehicle but waited for the Sanford police to investigate his reports of ‘a suspicious person’.
There are so many conflicting witness accounts and differing opinions on the character of both parties. This tragedy will be a controversy for months to come; creating more racial conflict - even though citizens of all backgrounds are only asking that the facts be forthcoming and the truth exposed.
The one fact we know - one young man is dead.
Sounds to me like a criminal is dead.
