Trayvon Martin Case
Trayvon Martin case Trayvon Martin, A black teenager’s last phone conversation was with his girlfriend before he was shot in Florida; the 17-year-old was being stalked from the suspect and was killed on February 26th by a neighbor watch volunteer in the community where the shooting took place.
Gorge Zimmerman, the suspected killer, admitted shooting Martin with his 9-milimieter pistol and said he “acted in self-defense,” even though the teen was unarmed and Zimmerman has not been arrested. The justice Department has been investigating the case, but Zimmerman is still walking free; however, supports of the teen’s family say that the response has been inadequate and is too late, especially when evidence has already been given, which are the phone records. After hearing the recording of the phone calls it shows evidence of Martin being followed while talking to his 16-year-old girlfriend who name is unknown. According to the phone call he walked in the rain toward a relative’s home after buying candy at a store nearby. The phone call continues to go on as his girlfriend tells him to run. I am here now with Martin’s girlfriend; however, she asked for her face not to be seen.
