Afterall, relying on the past bad acts of victims promotes the fallacy that crime can't happen to bad people... it makes people without a perfect record feel like they have to rely on theselves for "justice" leading to increased violence. Whether Trayvon Martin was a thug, a model student, self tauht genius or a member of Al Queda is meaningless. All that matters is could the prosecution prove beyond a shadow of doubt their theory of the case. Which, they couldn't even set out their theory of the case. Hell their own witnesses stated it was Zimmerman screaming. |
I dont think the drug use, gun or school problems were relevant. However, I think that he was in fights was relevant because it supports the defenses story that trayvon initiated the physical confrontation. But I guess the obvious fact Trayvon wasn't harmed other than the gun shot is enough to show that Trayvon most likely started it.
