The police report after the incident listed Trayvon Martin's full name, date of birth, and other info. So why did his body lie in the morgue as a John Doe for 3 days?
Also, they're showing a surveillance video of Zimmerman being taken out of the police car at the police station after the incident. There are no apparent injuries or blood, and no apparent grass stains.

i'm sorry you had to suffer "the unkindest cut of all" as well. 
while still in shock, that they had to do an autopsy. We objected, did not want or need any further wounding of the body. We were told it was the law and we had no choice. They told us the body would be released after they had completed the autopsy. I believe it was about three days.
The law regarding the autopsy, which horrified us, we found out later was put in place by Insurance Corps. The purpose was to try to find alcohol or drugs in order to reduce the amount of any claims made in a lawsuit. I cannot describe the horror we felt that morning. It seemed like such an invasion and against our wishes. The law, I read later was 'controversial' but when an accident occurs on a public road, they have the law on their side and there is nothing you can do about it.
I am sorry about your daughter. There really are no words that are adequate when such a tragedy occurs. 
We didn't know about the law either and I objected strongly when they called, at 7.AM the morning after the accident, but to no avail. I guess you are in shock anyhow when tragedies like this occur so it just seemed like a continuation of a nightmare in which we had lost control over everything.
Anyhow, take care of yourself and I all I can say is I wish these things did not happen to good people, or even not so good people.
evidence vs trying to come up with a 'good' story to tell everyone.
it's just another thing that stinks in this case, and makes it so frustrating to see play out, but at least the truth is seeming to come out, even if in dribs and drabs.
i suspect the justice dept. will keep on leaking this kinda damning evidence if the PD and local authorities don't start to cooperate.
Who attacks a gardener - I mean I never took much with me to work. Use pepper spray, it's a vegetable. 
*yank*
It would have to be quite the downpour.
Trust me on this, the rain just makes it quite messy. In fact, a drunk, bleeding from the head in the midst of rain...just ask a close friend who is a field medic...suffice it to say keeping your uniform more or less clean can be tricky.
If he was injured in a scuffle I will eat my shoe.
Hot damn, can we say police coverup? Motive, that's what I need now.
Edit:
Interviewed the mother of a 13-year-old witness who recounted her conversaton with the lead investigator, said he told her that it was not "self-defense." 
I can move over...
Popcorn?
I only have that powder butter stuff sorry... 
I love you all for keeping with this and sniffing out the truth!
and then the officers drove him to a laundromat. 
Indeedy!
Zimmerman must be a fast healer.
Trayvon was suspended from school, that trumps all evidence
Skittles!! Do you realize that a single Skittle dropped from the observation deck of the Empire State Building could kill a man? And he had an entire bag of them!
