That is straight up racist and implies that black people cannot be trusted but white people can. The funeral director could have kept his mouth shut and I am sure he would have survived just the same. How is it that the funeral director is biased, but the police and state attorney are objective? Were the voice experts that analyzed the 911 tapes, biased or objective? The 911 dispatcher, the witness who said the larger man was on top and they did not fight on the grass? How about George Zimmerman's lawyer, his father and brother that people keep quoting as "unrefutable evidence"? Were they biased? I would think not wanting your son to spend the rest of his life in prison could do that to a person. If the funeral director can be biased, so can the Sanford PD. So Can the state attorney.

The funeral director is full of crap. If its any type of a solid business as a mortuary, they are processing 2-3 bodies a day. He handled Trayvon's body before any of this media hoopla happened. He specifically remembers Trayvon not having cuts on his hands??

As Judge Judy would say "Ridiculous" !

I bet he couldnt remember Trayvon's last name before this circus erupted, let alone any other apparent injuries or not, besides the gunshot wound.

I'm waiting for the forensic report form the police department. I don't know procedure, but if there were wounds on Trayvons hands or body, I'm sure that they are required to have a written record and in a murder case, even photos. Seems logical to me.

I would guess a 17 year old would stand out to a funeral director.

Yes, he probably started yelling for help after realizing that he had assaulted a man who had a gun on him. It would be pretty difficult for Zimmerman to feel confident he had the upper hand with Trayvon sitting on his chest beating his head against the sidewalk and continuing to struggle with him, probably struggling to take the gun away. I'd shoot and ask questions later.

That pretzel shape you're twisted into cannot be very comfortable.

I thought it was standard procedure to do an autopsy in the case of accidental death, or in questionable circumstances. We have heard nothing from the medical examiner which I find very strange.

Yes, walking home from a convenience store, Trayvon just up and decides to assualt someone. Mmm, hmm!

It is a little odd that *no* information has been released, though I wouldn't necessarily expect that they'd release the full report until after the investigation was complete. You know, the investigation that they had to be shamed into restarting?
