Is Sybrina Fulton Carrying A Double Burden Of Guilt And Grief?

 
Exactly why did  Sybrina throw her 17 year old son out of the house in the first place?   Was it for fighting in school, or buying and selling guns, or perhaps smoking weed or maybe his relationship with Rachael Jeantel?

There is no greater burden for a mother to bare when she throws her teenage child out of the house for something they have done and the teenage child ends up dead days later.

The mother wants the person who killed her teenage child to pay, but is she also wanting the person who killed her teenage child to help ease the mother's guilt for kicking the teenage child out of the house in the first place.

I am sure Sybrina is saying, "if only I didn't kick Trayvon out of the house." Just like Sybrina is saying "if only Trayvon didn't punch George Zimmerman in the face" or the known statement "if only it didn't happen that way."

In the end, Sybrina will carry the guilt of throwing Trayvon out of the house, and also carry the guilt, that her teenage son, punched and beat a person for no valid reason at all, and is now deceased.

We don't know what the last words were spoken between Sybrina and Trayvon before he was sent packing to his father's place.  Were they heated words?  Was it "I'm doing this because I can't handle you anymore?"   Did Sybrina hug and kiss her son as he left and say "I love you."   Chances are they were heated words, and with any teenager pissed off at his parent(s) will say "fuck you, I'm atta here!"
 
Note: My son, when he was 17, was hard to handle when he was in his first relationship.  He didn't like my rules and he left.  I had no clue where he was and searched all over the place for him.  In the end, he ended up at my girlfriend's home, and he was welcomed to stay there until things cooled down.  Thankfully my girlfriend's husband was a major influence on my son.
 
In the end, it took a few days before my son called, and eventually he came home and we worked out the issues at hand.

My thoughts:
Today was a day that actually gave me a headache. Trayvon's mother was called by the State, and then the State went directly to a sidebar, leaving Sybrina "On Display" for at least 7 minutes, if not longer.  Now why the hell the State did this, I will never know.

Sybrina stated the screaming on the 911 call was Trayvon, however, neither the State or Defense asked Sybrina if she ever heard her son scream in fear.

Jahvaris Fulton, Trayvon's half brother stated that the scream was Trayvon, although he never heard his half-brother scream in that manner.  Jahvairs has stated last year that the scream was not Trayvon's/

Dr. Shiping Bao, the Medical Examiner that did the autopsy on Trayvon.  In a nutshell, this doctor doesn't even recall the case, however, he stated no one knows Trayvon better than I do, except he can't remember anything about the case.

He had written questions that he thought would be asked of him and then wrote the answers to those questions to have then readily available.

Within the last 3 weeks, Dr. Bao changed his mind about the time it took Trayvon to die once he got shot in the heart.  Originally Dr. Bao stated Trayvon would probably have died within one to two minutes, and today he said that it was from one to ten minutes.  This new information was based on an autopsy of someone else, where people were right there when 911 was called etc., etc.  However, people were right there within seconds after Trayvon was shot, as well as the first responder and they could not do CPR on Trayvon as he was deceased.  Also Dr. Bao indicated that Trayvon could have moved within that time frame or couldn't have moved.

The toughest part of his testimony is when he wouldn't pinpoint the time that the Assistant Medical Examiner arrived on the scene to take pictures and prepare Trayvon to be moved to the morgue.  It turns out that it took the Medical Examiner's office nearly 3 hours to get to Trayvon.  Remember it was raining that night, and Trayvon laid on the grass covered in a tarp, nothing being protected, including his hands for later testing.

So many things that were important in this case, especially nail clipping, pictures of the palms of Trayvon's, seem to not be very important.

Getting back to the notes, once the Defense realized that Dr. Bao's was reading for his notes, the doctor had to turn over his notes to the State and Defense and he didn't want to do it.  During a recess, both sides read the notes, and once they returned to the courtroom, both sides went to a sidebar.  At one point during the side bar, you could see Judge Nelson raise her right hand and Bernie (State) raised his right hand and appeared he was swearing to the Judge about something.

Perhaps the swearing had to do with the information Dr. Bao's talked about with regards to changing the time that it took Trayvon to die, that Trayvon could move, and the fact that the marijuana in Trayvon's system may or may not have added to what happened that evening.

George Zimmerman's mother  "Gladys Zimmerman" was called by the Defense, and she verified that the screams on the 911 tape was her son.  Although she stated, she had never heard him scream that way before, but she knew it was her son.  Gladys is a very lovely woman, not filled with any attitude, but willing to do what she can for her son.

The very best witness the entire time this trial started is "Jorge Mesa." Jorge is the brother to Gladys and George Zimmerman's uncle.  Jorge is in law enforcement, but was a witness for his nephew just as his uncle.

Jorge explained to the jury that he was sitting at his computer sometime in March 2012, and behind him, his wife was watching TV and then the 911 call was played and Jorge heard the screaming.  Jorge stated he knew this was George right away and felt in directly into his heart.  He asked his wife what she was watching and Jorge told him this is George screaming.

It was the most riveting moment of the entire trial.  You felt the passion and emotion in the tone of his voice.  Jorge at that time had decided to distance himself from the case because of his position in law enforcement.

The jury was left with Jorge Mesa's testimony and they were released for the weekend.  Court starts up again on Monday, July 8, 2013 at 9:00 AM EDT
