He had been suspended from school in Miami after being found with an empty marijuana baggie. Miami schools have a zero-tolerance policy for drug possession.

If this is true, then his father was lying about Trayvon being suspended for being in an unauthorized place at school.

There are multiple versions of why Trayvon was suspended but all agree, he was suspended. So few facts have been established after one month. This delay has allowed wild speculation to go on and on.

FWIW I had heard a third explanation for his suspension, that Trayvon was suspended for beating his bus driver senseless. Of the three, the father's version [for being in an unauthorized area] is the least believable.

He was suspended three different times for three different reasons. Once he was in an unauthorized place writing some graffitti. Once it was for tardiness, and once for the baggie. [This is from memory; I believe it’s accurate but someone may have the official list, which could differ on minor details.]

Trayvon was given a pass on having many valuable pieces of women’s jewelry and a flat-head screwdriver in his backpack. The school made no attempt whatever to find out if the jewelry was stolen.

You need to do much more research friend. Martin was suspended three times, one for graffiti (in an unauthorized area), another for lateness/truancy and another (latest-2 weeks) for pot residue and a bong in his back pack. He ALSO had taken a swing at a bus driver, according to a relative’s tweet, AND had a watch, 12 items of women’s jewelry, along with a burglary tool ( wide-bladed, flat-head screw driver) in the same back pack that was searched resulting from the graffitti incident , but was not charged for that because the cops had no evidence that those items could be tied to a burglary. Makes me think that burglary was where he came up with the resources to have those gold teeth of his made! A wannabe gangster, IMO!!
