I'm not defending anyone. I just stated the facts. Trayvon Martin was walking home from the store with his very recent purchases. He was not in the midst of committing a crime when he was accosted by Mr. Zimmerman, and he was unarmed. His past? What about Zimmerman's past? Didn't he have an arrest record? And didn't his girlfriend have a restraining order against him? Should his past come under scrutiny as well?

As someone stated above, none of us know all the facts, only what we've been fed by the media. My entire objection to the way this case was handled was that there Mr. Zimmerman had not been arrested until the public outcry forced it. He should have been, and a jury of his peers, after hearing all the facts, should make the determination of his guilt or innocence. Not the cops, not the media and not the public.
