In an interview with ThinkProgress, Martin family attorney Natalie Jackson raised serious questions about the role of George Zimmerman’s father, Robert Zimmerman, in the case.

....................................

The day after the shooting, George Zimmerman, according to his father, returned with at least three police officers to the Retreat at Twin Lakes, back to that grassy area where plaintive cries for help had gone unanswered. The investigators, accompanied by someone with a video camera, wanted him to re-enact the events of the night when the two strangers had stood their ground.

Mr. Zimmerman’s father watched from nearby.

Jackson noted that Robert Zimmerman was a retired magistrate judge who “issued warrants” and knows “what probable cause needs to be” to justify an arrest. His presence at the questioning, according to Jackson, was unusual and potentially inappropriate because “we don’t know what coaching went on.

******************

Martin’s family was not notified for three days until his father filed a missing person’s report. During that time, Martin’s body was tagged a “John Doe” in the morgue. The fact that Martin had a cell phone in his possession did not lead to his timely identification.

UPDATE:
The next day when he called Sanford police to file a missing person's report is when he learned his son was dead. The officer who responded to the town home showed him a photo of his son's body.

1. Well that does not surprise me

they are all in this together

[southernyankeebelle]

2. This is totally wrong and I am so outraged by hearing this. Zimmerman needs to be arrested.

[supraTruth]

5. COPS NEED TO BE FIRED!

[southernyankeebelle]

13. Yep, It is disgusting and I don't blame african-americans for being so upset. I am white and I am

outrage. I just want to scream. This is sooooooooooooooooo unfair and the family needs justice for Trayfon.

[KurtNYC]

14. it is not as if some rank and file cop decided ' hey let's just cover this up for lolz'

no scapegoats -- this happened higher up

[arely staircase]

3. whoa! he was present during the crappy investigation?

that is big news

[riverwalker]

17. sounds like he supervised the investigation!

this is outrageous

[arely staircase]

21. sort of puts the whole business about

the witnesses being corrected in a whole new light. dad was there making sure the facts were consistent with his boy acting in self defense. but they can't explain the evidence that is piling up contrary to their storyline.

[supraTruth]

4. CRAZY the way the cops treated this; 3 days in the morgue w/o notifying parents;

they should be FIRED!

[CatWoman]

6. Now we know why Daddy knew so much about what happened

as he wrote the script

[Bjorn Against]

7. In regards to the last paragraph...

I recently read that Trayvon's name was in the police report filed the night of the incident, so they did have "timely identification" of the victim which makes the fact that they waited three days to notify the parents all the more suspicious.

[LiberalFighter]

15. What are the odds that even without conventional identification (wallet)

That police can id a person very easily if they have the person's cell phone?


To the responders to my post.. You got it!!

It appears that the SPD are performing as if in the dark ages with police investigation methods.

[Bjorn Against]

18. In most cases a cell phone would be as useful as a photo ID in determining identity

Cell phones are very easy to trace back to a person assuming that person has the phone registered properly which most people do.

[niyad]

26. hell, even if it is a no-contract phone, it probably has a log of phone numbers and calls-in

the case of trayvon, his call to his girlfriend would have led the police to his identity, assuming the police even attempted to do their job.

[frylock]

24. it has been reported that both his parents were listed as ICE..

on his cell phone.

[frylock]

23. getting their ducks in a row

[malaise]

8. One big coverup

When I posted about Trayvon's body in the morgue for three days, DUers said that wasn't true.

This was one big coverup

[Dont call me Shirley]

9. A whole boatload of Zimmermans, police chiefs, Wolfzingers, cops

need to be charged, arrested and tried on their crimes of murder and it's coverup.

[SteveABG]

10. The second part is not true.

Trayvon Martin's father reported him missing the next morning, and the police showed him a photo and asked if it was his son.

Still, too long.

11. The Zimmerman's pwn the Sanford P.D.,

but it looks like it is unraveling!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

12. Zimmerman and his family have been treated like VIPs from the first moment nt

[opihimoimoi]

16. The mess get messier...now it looks like they wanted to get away with the crime through deciet

thinking the kid was a burgler or just another blk kid....

then, the shit slowley hit the fan until ...its too late to change the story...then the tapes keep coming....

making the Zimmer coverup a disaster...

The Zimmers are toast

[arely staircase]

22. i think

that sums it up nicely.

[Kaleva]

19. Mr. Martin identified his deceased son the following morning

[bluedigger]

20. It's a conspiracy to deny Trayvon's civil rights.

They're all going down.

[Cali_Democrat]

25. Good point

The FBI needs to take all of this into consideration. This is also a civil rights case. Even if Zimmerman is prosecuted by the state of Florida and found guilty on criminal charges, the Federal government needs to prosecute the Sanford PD and the State Attorney that tried to deny Trayvon his civil rights.

[SweetieD]

27. In your title you said Zimmerman's family was there the night of shooting, but article says his dad

was present at the reenactment the next day? I don't think Zimmerman's family was there the night of shooting.
