 Trayvon Martin in a self portrait that he posted to his social media. A negative characterization is central to Zimmerman's defense. ORLANDO, FL (Catholic Online) - Circuit Judge Debra Nelson also said Martin's social media records could also be subpoenaed as well as those belonging to a girl he was interacting with before his death.
Zimmerman's defense attorneys claim that Trayvon Martin was not the innocent young man that has been portrayed in the media, but rather a teenager who sometimes skirted the edge of the law. Whether that becomes a material fact or even has a bearing on the trial, is yet to be seen. The 17 year-old Trayvon Martin was shot to death by neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman early this year. Zimmerman\'s attorneys alleged that Martin was behaving suspiciously and attacked Zimmerman. Prosecutors say Zimmerman was overzealous and shot Martin after picking a fight. © 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. - - - Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer Intentions for January 2013 General Intention: The Faith of Christians.
