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.

An article about the background of Trayvon as a person.

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?

I like this article because of the bias opinions and the conspiracy theories is poses.

On 31 May, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a 13-year-old boy named Darius Simmons was allegedly shot to death by 75-year-old John Henry Spooner, right in front of the boy's mother, Patricia Larry. Spooner had confronted Darius as he was taking out the trash and accused the kid of stealing from his home.

Too many shootings of young black men in Milwaukee. Can anyone look up the police record?

This is a really good article and a good example of what Walter Mosley was talking about in his article about how the media picks and chooses news stories to become National news. How come I didn't hear about this story, but I heard about the Trayvon Martin story. They happened only a week apart. This story only reinforces what Mosley was saying in his article "Walter Mosley on Trayvon Martin Case and Racial Identity."
