Martin's injuries were two-fold: broken skin on his knuckles and the fatal gunshot wound...

Four simple truths about Florida's Zimmerman-Martin case that aren't being discussed by the media

3:00pm Friday, May 25, 2012
by Don Kates The shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman has been the subject of enormous confusion, not only because the facts are not entirely clear, but more because of public misunderstanding of the relevant law. I hope the following will help clarify things. 1. IT'S NOT THE JOB OF THE POLICE TO INTERRUPT CRIMES AND DEFEND CITIZENS. The police exist to do two things ONLY: patrol...

3:00pm Thursday, May 17, 2012
