Is that true ? Where was this knowledge obtained ?

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=aa3_1337699720 Seven seconds in, one person clearly identifies him by name. Another site on the internet here claims to authenticate the video through screenshots of Trayvon's old youtube page, and through tattoos and housing visible in the footage. It's very inflammatory and likely won't ever be seen inside the courtroom, but (if you believe it is real) it says some things about Trayvon's adolescent character. | ||

They seem to have no problems characterizing Martin as a innocent little boy and Zimmerman as a potential homicidal racist. I get why the prosecution wouldn't want it admitted but you'd think both Martin and Zimmerman should have the chance to build their character. Ah well, I'm a law noob. The media has been portraying Martin that way, not the Courtroom. If they go there in trial, it comes in. | ||

I think Kaitlin was wondering out loud a few pages back whether or not, in light of this situation, if any black leaders would step up and talk about how young black people have to improve their behaviour to avoid the kind of conflict that Trayvon (allegedly) instigated and got killed for. Or something like that. I apologize for putting words in Kaitlin's mouth. | ||
