As national outrage continues to spread regarding the Trayvon Martin case and accusations of the alleged shooter being racist, the lead investigator involved temporarily resigned on Thursday afternoon.
Some believe Sanford Police ruined the investigation from the start.
"If there were mistakes made we are going to act accordingly," said Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett to ABC News about Martin's case.
The case which has caused increased hostility between community leaders and residents of Sanford led to a city commissioner demanding the resignation of Police Chief Billy Lee.
The city commissioners engaged in a “no confidence” vote against Lee which resulted in three of the five voting against to Lee.
According to reports, Lee decided to call it quits after the vote and will remain resigned until the the Martin case is closed.
Recent reports have surface of the self-appointed neighborhood watch leader, Zimmerman, for dropping a racial slur during his 911 call which has created more uproar in the case.
In voice recording, the night of the shooting, Zimmerman is caught mumbling under his breath what appears to be, "fucking coons," moments later the clash with Martin resulted in the death of the black teen.
The self-defense argument presented by Zimmerman has received wide criticism, but Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law says the shooter was within his rights.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, this law gives vast flexibility to individuals like Zimmerman to use deadly force if they feel threatened. Since the implement of “Stand Your Ground” seven years ago, warranted killings in Florida have increased three times.
Other mishaps by Sanford PD have been the lack of effort to reach out to the victim’s girlfriend who was on the phone with Martin during the incident and the department‘s failure to investigate if alcohol or drugs were involved.
"The fact that Mr. Zimmerman was not given a toxicology test or breathalyzer examination is huge. Very huge," homicide investigator Rod Wheeler told Good Morning America.
The 17-year-old unarmed Martin was shot by Zimmerman late February for being suspicious and carrying a bag of skittles candy and Martin’s girlfriend recalls the night her boyfriend was shot.
"He said this man was watching him," the teen said.
"So he put his hoodie on, said he lost the man. I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast, I told him to run but he said was not going to run. Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for?' and the man said, 'What are you doing here?' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing and somebody push Trayvon, because the headset just fell. I called him again and he didn't answer the phone," she added.
The Sanford Mayor expressed that “the unknown in a tragedy will make the heart do crazy things, and we haven't done a good job of getting out in front of that."
Triplett also added his he had a lot of “confidence” in Lee but didn’t “have confidence in him in some ways."
Many believe the vote was highly influenced by Triplett’s question and answer session with local residents, the press and the NAACP. Triplett faced tough questions regarding the claims of police misconduct.
The case is now being looked at as a possible hate crime.
Madonna’s upcoming gig in Russia won’t be all singing and dancing. Having described herself as a “freedom fighter”, the pop star promised to speak up for the gay community during her show in St Petersburg.
The singer’s plans to support Russia’s gay community come as a reaction to the recent law adopted by the Governor of St Petersburg, Georgy Poltavchenko. It bans the promotion of gay lifestyles in the country. A number of the country’s gay rights and human rights watchdogs have found it discriminatory, Madonna among them.
The new version of the law describes what is meant by “public activities aimed at the propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality, and transgender among youth.” Such actions include “spreading information that can damage the health and moral development of underage children, and make them believe that both traditional and gay relationships are normal.”
Madonna has announced on her Facebook page that she will come to St. Petersburg on August 9 “to speak up for the gay community, to support the gay community and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels oppressed. I don't run away from adversity. I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity,” Madonna replied.
The American diva is not the first celebrity to decry the Russian law. British actor and comedian Stephen Fry also recently voiced outrage over it, describing its authors as “fantastical monsters”.

The American National Football League has handed down unprecedented punishment after it emerged bonuses were being paid to players who injure others. New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has become the first Coach in NFL history to be suspended.
Payton will miss the whole of next season without pay, while the team's former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, who now works for the St. Louis Rams, has been banned indefinitely. Punishment for the players involved will be decided at a later date.
“There is a tremendous amount of information corroborated by several different sources that's very clear that this was happening on a regular basis,” stressed NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “It was clearly out of control, that they identified specific players and targeted them for injury. That's simply unacceptable in the NFL and in any game of football."
The NFL say "knockouts" were worth $ 1,500 and "cart-offs" $ 1,000, with payments doubled or tripled for the playoffs.
All payouts for specific performances in a game, including interceptions or causing fumbles, are against NFL rules. The NFL warns teams against such practices before each season.
However, in the aftermath of the revelations about the Saints, current and former players from various teams talked about that sort of thing happening frequently – although not on the same scale as the NFL found in New Orleans.
Mohamed Merah, the suspect in the killing of 3 paratroopers, 3 children and a rabbi in recent days in France (Reuters / France 2 Television / Handout)
Mohamed Merah - the man behind the Toulouse killing spree – is dead after a 32 hour siege ended in grenade explosions and gunfire.
He jumped out of his bathroom window blazing an automatic pistol as police broke through, and was found dead where he fell.
Two police commandos were wounded in the raid on the gunman’s flat, one of them seriously, after he refused to give himself up and vowed to die fighting.
Commandos used video cameras to check rooms for signs of life, but when they entered the bathroom Merah came out “blazing away with a submachine gun.”
During a furious close-quarter battle in which Merah wielded an Uzi, he was shot in the head by a police sniper as he was trying to jump out of the bathroom window. One experienced police commando said he had never seen anyone attack police so violently.
More than 300 bullets were fired in the shootout and at least 30 of them were fired by Merah, who was wearing a bullet-proof vest. French prosecutor Francois Molins said that “everything was done to try to arrest him alive,” but the man chose to carry out his earlier-declared intention to die “with a gun in his hand.”
Merah had told police he did not want to surrender and that if attacked, he would shoot to kill. Police had already attempted to detain the gunman on Wednesday night, but Merah fired back and injured three officers, forcing them to retreat.
While the investigation is underway into whether or not shooting spree suspect had accomplices, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has warned against any retribution against the country's Muslim community, saying “our fellow Muslim citizens have nothing to do with this crazy murderous act of terrorism.”
Merah, according to his own words, “has brought France to its knees.” His only regret was “not having more time to kill more people.”
During the long and difficult negotiations, the authorities described Merah as a man of strong temperament. Merah himself said he had neither a suicidal spirit, nor a martyr's soul, and “preferred to kill and remain alive.”
He admitted to the killing of seven people, saying he did it to take revenge for the French foreign interventions and“killings of Palestinian children in the Middle East.”
Merah recorded all three of his deadly shootings with a camera strapped to his chest and told investigators where to find the recordings. He also said he had uploaded the videos to the Internet, but so far they have not emerged online.
In the first video, during the killing of a paratrooper on March 11, Merah was reportedly heard saying “You kill my brothers. I kill you,” and four days later, when killing two other soldiers, he shouted “Allahu Akbar.”
Merah was linked to Al-Qaeda and received instructions from the group to carry out a suicide mission in France, Interior Minister Claude Gueant said. Merah refused to blow himself up, though he agreed to carry out a general mission to commit an attack in France, which eventually ended with his death.
An Al-Qaeda linked group, Jund al-Khilafah, has claimed responsibility for the shootings, saying their “brother Yousef, the Frenchman” carried out these operations, the US monitoring group SITE says.
French authorities had been tracking Merah for several years before the tragic events. They knew he espoused a radical form of Islam and had been to Afghanistan and the Pakistani militant stronghold of Waziristan. On the other side of the Atlantic he was also considered suspicious and was put on a US no-fly list as a suspected terrorist, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing a US intelligence official.
Belgian MEP Philip Claeys believes Europe should adopt a much firmer stance on those citizens who are known to have been in “terrorist training camps” and “taken part in hostile activities.”
“They should not be allowed to go back to their countries,” he told RT. “All of them should be in jail.”
