Even if he didn't commit the burglary he was guilty of possessing stolen property. The fact that he also had a burglary tool in his possession at the same time lends credence to him being the burglar.
That "burglary tool" was a flat-head screwdriver; I suppose everyone who carries one is a burglar.
That's a disquieting idea for carpenters, I'd imagine.
You're right. Just because they were in Trayvons backpack along with a flat blade screwdriver doesn't mean he stole them.
I used to tell my Mom... "It's not mine, I'm just holding it for a friend"
No mother has ever bought that story.
Didn't the police check the jewelry, found the jewelry to no match any descriptions of stolen property, and returned it to the Martin's? That is what I recalled reading from the Miami-Herald.
Yes it does. I'm sure GZ is up there with the Kennedy's when it comes to affording the best.
He hasn't done bad. Money keeps coming in and living on $12,000 a month is pretty impressive considering he probably only made a little more than that a year.

There is no evidence that Trayvon was committing a crime, or intending to commit a crime on the night in question. You can't follow someone and shoot them to death because of what you think they might do.
And George had no knowledge of screwdriver in Trayvon's backpack in Miami.

Most carpenters carry a whole set of tools, most of which would not be considered a burglary tool. What other tool did Trayvon carry? Oh, yeah. A lighter.

Especially carpenters with several pieces of stolen jewelry on them at the same time.
Do you have any evidence that Trayvon worked as a carpenter?
Not much, because the facts remain that Zimmerman, an armed man 11 years Trayvon's senior, followed Trayvon, a boy who was doing nothing wrong, he followed him in his car and foot, on a dark and rainy night, in a menacing, threatening manner, had at least three opportunities to identify himself as neighborhood watch, provoked a fight, and then instead of defending himself with equal force, i.e. using his body to defend himself, he resorted to lethal force to fend off an unarmed boy.
I don't care who punched who first or that he was losing the fight, he brought on the incident with his actions, and an innocent teenager lost his life as a result. There is no way Trayvon would have tangled with Zimmerman or died that night without Zimmerman initiating this whole thing, and resorting to deadly force.
Also, no matter all these ifs, and could haves, there is no evidence that this beating was life-threatening or that Trayvon would ever have killed George. Trayvon was not a cold-blooded murderer. It's all could haves, and going on the racist presumption that every black teenage boy could be a killer. The expert was very careful and well-rehearsed. When they asked about head injury. He kept saying a severe head injury could result in concussion etc. He never said that Zimmerman's head or face injuries were severe. A fractured nose is not a severe injury.
The physician's assistant who actually saw Zimmerman and assessed his real symptoms, not could-haves, never said in her report that Zimmerman had severe injuries.
And there's the difference between you & I ... I would change my opinion if the evidence pointed a different way.
What other tool did Trayvon carry? Oh, yeah. A lighter.
No doubt for smoking dope.
