She was shot at close range so why wouldn't gun residue be on her ?
Plus the mother, sister and aunt of the 17 year old were found to be lying and aided and abetted in getting rid of the gun which was found. How do you explain away that one ?
And the city commissioner was arrested and charged with influencing a witness and obstructing justice.
He's related to the 17 year old. He was also charged with racketeering as well.

The mother AND THE FATHER (who wasn't supposed to be anywhere near the scene) had gun residue on them. Explain that one away.
"My baby was shot. I was shot near my head and of course there's going to be GSR (gunshot residue) everywhere," said West.
But if the baby's father was not at the murder scene, what could explain gunpowder on his hands?
West told Action News that she has an answer, "He may have touched my clothes in the hospital if there was GSR."
A conclusion from the state forensic report says, "This supports the possibility that (Santiago) discharged a firearm, was in close proximity to a firearm upon discharge, or came into contact with an item whose surface bears GSR."
Quote:
Defense attorneys filed a court discovery motion claiming " Santiago, a convicted felon, had discharged a firearm at or about the same time that his son was shot."
The mother of one suspect and his family interfered according to the Sheriff's office by:
Elkins and Dominique Lang, 15, have been charged with murder. Elkins' mother, aunt and sister have also been arrested on various charges alleging that they have hindered the investigation.
The sister, 19-year-old Sabrina Elkins, was arrested on an evidence tampering charge, the Glynn County Sheriff's Office said.
She was named in a grand jury indictment, released Wednesday, accusing her of helping her mother get rid of the gun authorities say was used to kill the child.
Authorities did not reveal her alleged role in disposing of the gun, which police found in a pond 2.3 miles from where the baby was shot.
From your link:
The investigation into the shooting of a baby in Brunswick, Georgia -- a crime that's grabbed national headlines -- has taken yet another turn with the arrest of a local politician.
The arrest stemmed from a verbal exchange between Brunswick City Commissioner James Henry Brooks and the family of one of the teen suspects in the slaying during the suspects' first court appearance on Monday.
...and:
Elkins and Dominique Lang, 15, have been charged with murder. Elkins' mother, aunt and sister have also been arrested on various charges alleging that they have hindered the investigation.

So what more do you want to happen? The suspects, the mother and the sister, along with the commissioner have all been arrested.
Your efforts to parallel this with the Zimmerman/Martin case is pathetic.
Why don't you and your comrades give this crap a rest. It's good for nothing other than fertilizer.
Defense attorneys filed a court discovery motion claiming " Santiago, a convicted felon, had discharged a firearm at or about the same time that his son was shot."
The suspects were arrested and charged. See the difference?
..probably not.
Of course not. Folks are so thirsty for a comparable situation that they are grasping at straws. If those boys really did do it and they get away scott free like Zimmerman did than we can compare.
