I'm going to say it: this case will end up exactly where the duke lacrosse case did.
It can't.......the cases are in no way what so ever similar.

I am sorry, I am new to this case. Was their an autopsy?
I am not sure I understand how you can characterize TM as a "nice kid" because he looks sweet in the horseback riding photo or the one with the girl in the last thread, but on the flip side, you can be enraged at GZ for thinking the worst about seeing a strange boy walking around his neighborhood.
You are summing up based on the way someone looks just like GZ did, but this does not mean ANYTHING about character. Have you read TM's twitter accounts? He was not a nice kid imo.

Speaking of suspensions...and what kids get them...
My entire Senior class was suspends for 3 days because of a prank against the rival football team that no one would own up to. Just because a suspension happens it's not always for something "bad"

Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion. I could care less what was on Trayvon's twitter account just as I could care less what was on Zimmerman's if he had one. That's completely irrelevant to the facts that took place on the evening of 02/26/2012. I can't speak for anyone else but when I see pictures of Trayvon, I see a whole future full of promise gone down the drain because of the actions of one man who decided it was okay to play God.

Here is the bio for the attorney that was contacted 2 days after he shooting....
http://parkscrump.com/attorneys/benjamin-crump/
And if you read his bio, I think it's safe to say, if this case wasn't about race to begin with, it sure was on day 2 when this man was contacted.
Snipped:
Mr. Crump is a frequent author and speaker. He has recently published an article entitled The Police dont shoot White Men in the Back, Representing Minority Victims in Police Brutality Cases."
IMO this is where the White vs. Black stuff started. Not that inaudible word GZ may or may not have said.
Everybody wants to call GZ a racist because of a word that we can't even hear clearly.
From that article, linked in the previous thread (I'll find it if y'all want a link) this attorney has been a big part of calling for rallies and protests.
Take this attorney, JJ, AS, and he Black Panthers, how is it not RACIAL???

I see a troubled youth without proper parental guidance who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I find it disturbing that his parents were letting him roam and hang out with his cousins and what not during a serious suspension from school. In a year, that would be an arrest for drugs and clearly they weren't punishing him IMO. I see GZ as not necessarily racially motivated but doing what he thought was right, and I don't see any evidence that GZ initiated the physical attack. TM should have just run home, why didn't he? I think the girlfriend's cell phone and text records need to be pulled by police, it would be interesting to see what she said about this incident on that night before she knew.

And none of Trayvon's suspensions were for violent reasons.
Huge leap to say those suspensions would make it easy to see how he could be the aggressor. And then ignore all of GZ's real aggression issues.
My son was suspended for being in a closed off section of school, he went around the gate that wasn't fully closed and locked. He's in grad school now.
JMHO
If GZ was not doing anything to intimidate Tray.....why would he have needed to run home? If he should have ran as you say, I guess that means there was something to run from?
Well then - yes, I guess you're right - I'm going to jail. However,Check this statue WOO.

My son got popped back in the day for a gram of pot. He's a junior at North Carolina this year, getting ready to go off to Cambridge.
He also wears wrinkley pastel polo shirts and docksiders and has a mop of sandy, sun-bleached hair. Its hard to imagine him being subjected to the same amount of scrutiny TM was.
ZIMMERMAN: What has come out that I can talk about today is that Trayvon Martin somehow snuck up on him, and according to Mr. Crump, their own attorney, he was on -- we don't know if this is verifiable information, but he was on the phone with his girlfriend. I don't know if that's a police source, but I know his attorney at least holds up the girlfriend as a source and says Trayvon told him, no, I'm not running. I'm going to walk real slow.

"He said this man was watching him," the girl recounted. "So he put his hoodie on, said he lost the man. I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast, I told him to run but he said was not going to run."

Co-Worker: Zimmerman Lost Security Job for Being Too Aggressive
The source said Zimmerman, who made between $50 and $100 a night, was let go in 2005.
He had a temper and he became a liability, the man said. One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted, he said. It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out.

Why did TM come back to fight GZ? Are you telling me that you believe that GZ just took off running, caught TM and shot him just like that? I think TM gave him lip, then decked him.
