FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Lee said he stood by his officers’ decision not to arrest of charge Mr
Zimmerman, 28, but admitted he had become “a distraction” in the
investigation.
Police have repeatedly said that under Florida’s controversial “Stand Your
Ground” law, which entitles citizens to use lethal force if they are in fear
of grievous bodily harm, they had no grounds to move against Mr Zimmerman.
Martin’s family claim that detectives decided to allow Mr Zimmerman to
return home just hours after the killing because the victim was black.
Speaking last night ahead of a rally organised with civil rights Reverend Al
Sharpton, the civil rights leader, Martin’s father Tracy said the chief’s
resignation was not enough.
“This temporary step down of Bill Lee is nothing,” he told a large, chanting
crowd in Sanford. “We want an arrest, we want a conviction and we want a
sentence for the murder of our son.” Many of those gathered at the rally
held placards reading “No more lynching”.
Earlier, Mr Martin and other family members met with officials from the
Department of Justice who have opened a federal investigation into the
killing. The state attorney, whose office took control of the local
investigation from Sanford police, said a grand jury would be convened on
April 10 to decide what, if any, charges should be brought against Mr
Zimmerman.
The investigation now centres around Mr Zimmerman’s call to police after
spotting Martin on the night of February 26 and an account by the teenager’s
girlfriend, who was on the phone to him shortly before his death.
Mr Zimmerman told an operator that Martin seemed “up to no good, or he’s on
drugs” and appears to have pursued the younger man even when police told him
that was unnecessary. He said that Martin attacked him from behind as he was
returning to his truck.
Martin’s girlfriend said he told her was being followed and that in the
moments before his death there were sounds of a struggle. “Trayvon said,
‘What are you following me for?’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing
here?’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon
because the headset just fell. I called him again and he didn’t answer the
phone.”
