Ultimately, (click here) many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys – indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns – may be ruled inadmissible in court. But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial....

The description of Trayvon Martin in the video that accompanies this article is horrible. It seeks to portray him as a criminal, "...he took one in the chest...". That as if he was a participant in criminal activity that included 'taking one in the chest' as a potential to the activity of walking to his Father's home.

The media is backing the NRA and pro-gun money while attempting to portray the plaintiff as a victim of the system.
