George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin case: School records sought by defense - 5 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting because it can go both ways. The defense can be accused of desperately digging for "dirt" on Trayvon or the defense could have proved that Trayvon wasn't well behaved.

    This is a pretty interesting decision. Why what Martin's reacords were prior to the incident were seems irrelevant. Grades, who he was on the phone with, who he talked to? Maybe this establishes prior creditbility? Situated ethos? Who thinks this is a viable defense for Zimmerman?

    Wow, this is so sad. I don't get how people can do this.

    We see too many stories like this. The Castle Doctrine is an interesting allowance to have in Wisconsin. We are one of the last states to adopt this, but it has been in most states for a very long time.

    I thought this article was interesting because it shows how this is not a clear cut case. There are many different stories, and this article looks at most of them.

    When we study visual rhetoric this will be a great story to come back to. A great look into how we can be manipulated by imagery.

Witnesses tell FBI that George Zimmerman is no racist - 5 views

    This is an excellent article with numerous links to other articles that trace the evolution of the Martin/Zimmerman case. It notes too that the Trayvon Martin Memorial has been removed. I find that strange. It has been preserved, but why remove it? This is a great article for up-to-date information and case development.

    Bias article about the case, favoring Zimmerman. Allows him to plea his case and apologize for what happened.

Walter Mosley on Trayvon Martin Case and Racial Identity - 38 views

    Jadyn, This is an excellent article that hits on so many issues having to do with race. Who gets to be "white," how do we define "white," does the color of the individuals involved in an altercation/homocide affect who is guilty or innocent? If you haven't chosen an article yet, I'd take a serious look at this one. I'd like to come back to this one for discussion or use it for the next section. Great job posting a complex article.
