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. 

 

 

The NEW 911 Call Format For Reporting A Suspicious Person

Dispatcher: Do you need police, fire or ambulance

Caller: Police

Dispatcher: What is it that you want to report?

Caller: I was driving down the street and I noticed this teenager, walking around in the rain, with his hand in his waistband looking in houses.

Dispatcher: Is it a male or female?

Caller: I'm not sure!

Dispatcher: You can't see if it is a male or female?

Caller: I rather not say!

Dispatcher: OK, is this person, black, white or Hispanic

Caller: I rather not say!

Dispatcher: Your going to have to give us some identity of the person, so when we come out there we can look for the person.

Caller: I know sir, but if I give you the race and gender, and something happens, then I will be charged with racial profiling.

Dispatcher: WHAT?

Dispatcher: In order to help, we need some information.  Which way is this person going?

Caller: I'm not sure, because I am actually lost and was turning around when I spotted this person.

Dispatcher: Can you see a house number, or perhaps drive down a little to see a street sign so we can help you?

Caller: If I drive down, and anything happens, I will be charged with following someone.

Dispatcher: It's not against the law to follow someone, and we are not asking you to follow, just need a street.

Caller: Can you have the police call me when they get here.

Dispatcher: We can, but we need to know what street you are on.

Caller: Never mind, forget I ever called. Hang up.

Dispatcher: calling back, we have located you through your cellphone, stay there and we will meet you shortly. 

Caller: No thank you.  I will find my way out of here myself.

Dispatcher: Do you still see the person walking around?

Caller: Yes

Dispatcher: Is he doing something right now?

Caller: Yes

Dispatcher: And your not willing to at least describe the person?

Caller: No 

Dispatcher:  OK Sir, we will dispatch a vehicle to your cellphone location and check the area out.

Caller:  Thank you.  At least if you catch him/her, you won't be accused of "racial profiling."  Hangs up.

My thoughts:
I was surprised to see Tracey Martin on the Defense witness list and not on the State's list. Watching as an "in-home" juror, I am sure the jurors seated were also wondering the same thing.  The state could have called Mr. Martin and let him speak about what he stated the day he heard the 911 call, however, leaving him off the stand left many questions unanswered.

With two seasoned police investigators testifying what they heard Mr. Martin stated, only leaves the door open for the jurors to believe or not believe Mr. Martin. My heart did go out for Mr. Martin as you can see the pain of losing his son is still at the surface of his life.

It really bothered me to learn that the 911 call was played in a room, officiated my the mayor, without the presence of the Chief of Police or any Law Enforcement officials present.  The tape should have been played individually to each family member rather than have a room full of family listening to the tape.

Attorney Crump, who seems to be the leader of the pack, hopefully will be a defense witness as I personally felt, based on just a little bit that I have seen, really blew up so much of this case, when it wasn't necessary. 

Adam Pollack, described George Zimmerman's capability at the MMA gym indicating that basically George did not have the capability of punching a \punching bag.  George was at the gym to do exercise and to lose weight, of which, George did lose a lot of weight before the incident.

The jurors will learn on Tuesday that Trayvon Martin had marijuana in his system.  The mothers on the jurors will be asking themselves "where did a 17 year old get marijuana?" I am also sure the mothers on the jurors are even asking how Trayvon got two tattoos, since he is under age to get a tattoo.  Although, I am not sure if a parent can give permission for an under-age child to get a tattoo. 

The most heart-felt testimony on Monday was from John Donnelly.  John helped explain to the jurors the scream of fear and how it would sound even coming from a 250 pound male, whose cry would even sound like a woman.  John and his wife, helped support George and his wife with money, food and clothing for George, especially after George put on so much weight.

Of course, this cynical world will look at it as a motivate of some form or another, however, I didn't see it that way.  Someone has to help George and his family, because his life stopped.  Just like with the Martin family, their lives stopped when Trayvon died.  People rallied around to support them financially as they fight for Justice for Trayvon, and a select few rallied around Justice for George.

Looking forward to Tuesday ....
