It was mentioned on Dr. Drew? Frank Taffe, after releasing a voicemail left to him by George Zimmerman thanking him for his support and expressing his condolences for Mr. Taffe losing his son, Mr. Taffe told Dr. Drew that his son had died of a drug overdose.
I feel awful for anyone who loses a child. Drug addiction is horrible, but if the son lived in that complex, or came to visit, what's to say he didn't commit burglaries to feed his drug habit?
BEM: The same could be said about anyone visiting the complex. He said, on that same show, his son's battle was with prescription drug addiction and never said where his son lived. Huge stretch, IMO.
I feel if Mrs. Zimmerman didn't see with her own eyes these burglaries take place, she did a horrible thing by giving any kind of description of a suspect to LE or fellow neighbors. It makes me sick that Mrs. Zimmerman and Mr. Zimmerman were creating hysteria in their neighborhood. Putting everyone on edge by saying that these "suspects" were "black teens" if they didn't actually witness the crime taking place.
The Zimmermans didn't create "hysteria" in their neighborhood, criminals, some young black males, some white, were creating FEAR in the neighborhood. The Zimmermans were being good neighbors, thus the organization name, "Neighborhood Watch".
The
burglary reports, document the fact that an AA homeless man, Brian Bookard, was taken into custody because there
was an eyewitness - a woman whose house Bookard had been come to several times, giving a fake name.
In fact, one of the homes that was robbed belonged to a woman whose jewelry was taken, including earrings, rings, bracelets, etc., over $6,000 worth. Most of the homes were being broken into through the patio doors.
