He told the grand jury that he received a call from an unknown number two years ago from a man who made racist comments about Martin.
At the time, he thought it was a prank call and disregarded the comments, but now he suspects the call may have come from his neighbor and friend, Zimmerman.
A federal grand jury is hearing evidence in the case to decide whether Zimmerman who was acquitted of murder charges in the case will face federal charges for violating the unarmed teens civil rights.

George Zimmerman should be locked in prison, and those horrible Stand Your Ground laws should be declared unconstitutional.

(43,191 posts)If I recall correctly, he's the one who got Zimmerman all riled up about young black males in the neighborhood supposedly causing trouble. And Zimmerman ran with that installed fear.
Taaffe openly embraced white supremacists' support back when he was defending Zimmerman. I think now he has remorse, since arguably he is partly to blame for Trayvon's death.
