The Huffington Post is once again showcasing the deep agenda driven underbelly of their faux-news outlet.   Leading off once again the AOL news headlines with this story:  Trayvon Martin Case Spotlights Florida Town’s History Of ‘Sloppy’ Police Work – The internal components within the article are so incredibly manipulated and flawed one can only be left drawing the comparision to NBC’s selective audio editing.
The article was written by Trymaine Lee and John Rudolf – who are both pictured atop the byline.   Here is a brief example of a few of their manipulations:

1.) The first is their framing of the girlfriend DeeDee phone call.

Attorneys for Martin’s family said it wasn’t until weeks later, when Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, was looking through the teen’s cell phone bill that he noticed the timing of the last call.  The family and their attorneys then contacted Trayvon’s girlfriend and heard her account of the night. Lawyer Benjamin Crump, who represents the family, recorded an interview with the girl and provided it with Martin’s cell phone records to federal authorities, who by then had joined the investigation.

This paragraph is so fraught with contrary collections of information it’s beyond disengenuous.

Attorneys for Martin’s family said it wasn’t until weeks later, when Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, was looking through the teen’s cell phone bill that he noticed the timing of the last call.

Weeks later?  This was the actual first accusation from Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fuller from the outset.

The family and their attorneys then contacted Trayvon’s girlfriend and heard her account of the night.

So the “family” never spoke to DeeDee from the time of Trayvon’s death until they involved their attorneys (Parks and Crump) in a recorded interview?   Seriously?

Lawyer Benjamin Crump, who represents the family, recorded an interview with the girl and provided it with Martin’s cell phone records to federal authorities, who by then had joined the investigation.

“Who by then thad joined the investigation“…..  Err the “federal authorities” just joined the investigation last Wednesday.  So he just provided the phone records to federal authorities.  Why not state the truth?  Why make it seem like this was some long time ago.
2)  It gets worse….

Martin’s girlfriend’s contention that Zimmerman shoved Martin at the beginning of the altercation is missing from Zimmerman’s story, lawyers for Martin’s family said. The girl is a minor whose identity is being kept secret by the family attorneys.
The failure of Sanford police to locate and interview the girl was a crucial investigative oversight, according to Gerald S. Reamey, a former police department legal advisor in Texas and law professor and legal scholar specializing in criminal procedure at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio.
“It really casts doubt on the soundness of the entire investigation when you see something like this,” Reamey said. “They should have had this piece of evidence.”  […]
Reamey said it was possible the Sanford police investigation might have reached different conclusions if detectives had interviewed the girl earlier. “It could be quite useful in the interrogation” of Zimmerman, Reamey said. “It also could be quite useful for the investigator to understand at that point that there is some contradictory evidence.”
With the state prosecutor’s investigation still underway, it remains unclear whether the failure to interview the girl seriously harmed the ability to prosecute Zimmerman. But the lapse makes the prosecutor’s job more difficult, Reamey said. “It’s a burden,” he said. “It can make a difference.”

Not a single mention that the girlfriend, DeeDee, refused to cooperate with police, refused to be  interviewed by police, and refused to give sworn statements to police even when offered the opportunity to have representative counsel present.
Let me repeat.   As of 4/5/2012  Dee Dee was refusing to cooperate with police and investigators.   REFUSING.   But you wouldn’t get that from the HuffPo propaganda piece would you.?   According to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi the “girlfriend” refused to give any assistance to local investigators at any level.
This entire article is so blatently filled with falsehoods, manipulations, and lies;  it really exposes the underbelly of intentional propaganda.
