The Feds will Investigate Murder of Trayvon Martin

After the outcries of injustice and tons of questions, the feds are getting involved in the Trayvon Martin case.

USA Today reports:

The Justice Department said in a statement late Monday that the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office will join in the agency's investigation.

"The department will conduct a thorough and independent review of all the evidence and take appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigation," the agency said.

The sh*t just got serious and it needs to. The Sanford cops are handling this poorly and their actions are sending a horrible message to the nation. If the Feds finds fault in the Sanford PD, then you know there's going to be smoke in the city.

More to come.

John Katehis claims he Killed George Weber in Self Defense

John Katehis is the teen who murderer George Weber after they met up for sex. During the hearing on Friday, John revealed several things that caused his father to cry.

John Katehis' lawyer said things about the murdered Weber that, when they hear, will make Weber's friends cry, just like the teen boy's father.

"It seems that Mr. Weber had this whole secret life that no one knew about," Schwartz said. "He lured John Katehis into his home. He plied him with alcohol and illegal drugs."

Not even the defense lawyer, though, denied that on March 20 Weber was killed in his Carroll Gardens apartment; or that Katehis had the knife that killed him; or even the statement, by one of the arresting detectives, that was submitted Friday in court papers.

"Defendant stated killing George was an accident. …Defendant went to George's apartment after responding to craigslist ad for smothering. He was supposed to get $60," the statement said.

Or this, attributed to Katehis himself: "I didn't mean to kill George. It was an accident. He pulled a knife on me, so I stabbed him. He gave me something to drink and some coke. He asked me to do things I wasn't comfortable with."

To which attorney Schwartz added: "[Weber] attempted to get him to do, some sadomasochistic sex to him. Um, the situation got out of control."

The Brooklyn assistant district attorney was clearly frustrated as she tried to set the record straight, but was cut off by the judge.

But Schwartz lost his main argument. Katehis was sent back to Rikers Island and will still be tried as an adult for murder.

I have a hard time believing that John was defending himself, but I guess...Innocent until proven guilty.
