Apparently the kid's girlfriend was on the phone with him at the time he was confronted by Mr. Zimmer Man, and will be a key witness in showing the kid was killed in cold blood.

Speaking on the phone shortly before he was shot, Martin told the girl that someone was following him and that he was trying to get away, Crump said.
The girl said that, during the phone call, she heard someone ask Martin what he was doing and heard Martin ask why the person was following him, Crump said. The girl then got the impression that there was an altercation in which the earpiece fell out of Martin's ear and the connection went dead, Crump said.
Based on what she heard, the girl believes that Martin was pushed, said Crump, who added that the girl did not hear any gunfire.
Phone records show Martin was on the phone with her much of the day, including around the time of the killing, Crump said. He argued that if Martin were really "up to no good," he wouldn't have been chatting with his friend on the phone.

Natalie Jackson, another attorney for the Martin family, said police had not interviewed the girl.
Sanford Police Sgt. David Morgenstern said "at the onset, we asked any and all witnesses with information to come forward."
He would not say say whether the department has contacted the girl.

Also, this is the kind of police work these guys over there are doing:

A police report describes Zimmerman as a white male

The police thought Zimmerman was white. Not really fair to blame the media, when they probably assumed the police report was correct.
Quote:
. . . Police say they have not charged Zimmerman, 28, because they have no evidence to contradict his story that he shot in self-defense.

Smith wrote that Zimmerman stated, "I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me." Martin's family insists it was Trayvon Martin who was heard yelling for help.
Three witnesses who were nearby have said it was Martin who was heard screaming for help in the 911 call placed by Zimmerman, Crump said.

This is either some really, really lazy police work, or something more.
