Remember that “awkward” sideways look on Sybrina’s face when the reporter asked about the “button” Trayvon was wearing when he was shot, that was also visible in the 7-11 video.?

Treeper Shari – uncovered some very interesting aspect about Cory Craig Johnson that leads to a far greater understanding about “why” Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin have  such a keen interest in the “Stand-Your-Ground” legislation.
Apparently this is something they have a vested interest in keeping hidden from public understanding or awareness.
The conflict of interest is so blatant it is no wonder why never divulged this to the media and are so awkward when questioned.
Cory Craig Johnson’s Father’s name is Archie Jerome Johnson.    Here is a court case for a second degree murder conviction, in Florida, that was being appealed by a man named Archie Jerome Johnson, who appears to be Cory C Johnson’s father:

JOHNSON v. STATE  432 So.2d 583 (1983)

Archie Jerome JOHNSON, Appellant,

v.

STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 82-369.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

May 4, 1983.

Rehearing Denied June 29, 1983.  <— irony)

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, Margaret Good, Asst. Public Defender, and Albert Jackson, Legal Asst., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Max Rudmann, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Archie Jerome Johnson appeals his conviction of murder in the second degree and possession of a firearm by a felon. Two of his points on appeal have merit and a third invites comment by this court in order to avoid repetition of the conduct of which he legitimately complains.
The murder victim had been living in a room in Johnson’s apartment for about a month. On the day of the criminal incident the two had a quarrel in the morning and that evening the victim came into Johnson’s bedroom to renew the discussion. There were harsh words and Johnson shot the victim four times.
At trial the prosecution introduced evidence that approximately two days before this shooting Johnson had evicted his stepfather from Johnson’s mother’s home at gunpoint, firing two shots in the process. The purpose of this evidence was said to be  to show Johnson’s intent and “that this is his own bizarre form of evicting people from premises.”  […]
Johnson requested that the jury be instructed that he had no duty to retreat in his own home and that he was entitled to meet force with force. The request was denied.  […] As we view the evidence, the parties were probably not legal co-occupants of the apartment (which would constitute a Conner v. State,361 So.2d 774 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978), situation) but rather the parties’ status more nearly resembled that of lawful occupant and invitee as in Hedges v. State,172 So.2d 824 (Fla. 1965). Since the matter must be retried we come to no conclusion on this point but simply note that if the victim is a mere invitee the instruction should be given. See State v. Bobbitt,415 So.2d 724 (Fla. 1982).

Archie Jerome Johnson killed a man in his apartment and is claiming that he was entitled to meet force with force (Stand Your Ground).    Johnson VS State of Florida.    Apparently, Archie Jerome Johnson was denied this defense.
This goes a long way toward explaining the historical motive behind the Fulton/Martin approach at Stand Your Ground.   In the very least their attachment to this case should have been revealed to any/all interested parties who value objectivity in opinion.

We need to do some more research on this to fully connect the dots.   Can you help?

Also note that Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s dad, from East Saint Louis, is virtually impossible to find any history about.  The guy is almost a ghost.   Very little about him is known
