None of the statements attributed to Trayvon Martin by ExNYer are relevant. How many of you have smoked pot, maybe even doing so today? How many of you own guns? Martin is in no way guilty of attacking Zimmerman because of what he may or may not have done in the past prior to the night in question.
I see scenarios where Martin is 100% guilty and other scenarios where Zimmerman is 100% guilty. I am very happy that the case has made it to trial so that, hopefully, the facts will all come out. If the prosecution can't prove its case, I'll be happy to see Zimmerman walk out of court a free man.

Why does he need a gun if he was a nice, non-violent kid? Well, because maybe he wasn't? Maybe because he was dealing, not just possessing, drugs?
And has everyone forgotten the photos of Zimmerman with blood running down the back of his head and a bloody nose?
It is the TOTALITY of the circumstances that paint the full picture.
If you look one at a time at each little piece in a vacuum, you end up saying: "So he had a gun, lot's of people have them. So, he had pot. Lots of kids do that. So, he beat up Zimmerman, lot's of people do that if they are scared. So he was walking through a strange neighborhood. Maybe he was just getting exercise."
Zimmerman called 911 and was on the phone waiting for them to show up. Your typical racist thug doesn't call the cops before he attacks someone. Zimmerman is telling the same story he told from the start and no one can contradict his version.
So, if you believe in reasonable doubt, how can you convict?
BTW, all of the texts and photos become relevant as soon as the DA tries to paint Trayvon as a nice, law-abiding, non-violent kid. It is rebuttal evidence.
