What do photos of Trayvon have to do with anything at all? I've noticed that the haters have posted photos as though they have some bearing on the evidence.
They don't.
OTOH, his age does.
By law, he was a child who was attacked by an adult man who went out hunting for someone to shoot.
If he was not hunting for a victim, he would have had a loaded gun in his pocket. Earlier, I used the word "murder" and, to my knowledge, that is the definition of murder.
Others have said they know more about the law than I do and I don't doubt that's true. Instead of the asssssinine and childish name calling, how about if one of the"legal eagles", the self-proclaimed authorities on criminal law say why this is not murder and, for that matter, in the first degree.
This is what I based my opinion on:
first degree murder n. although it varies from state to state, it is generally a killing which is deliberate and premeditated (planned, after lying in wait, by poison or as part of a scheme), in conjunction with felonies such as rape, burglary, arson, involving multiple deaths, the killing of certain types of people (such as a child, a police officer, a prison guard, a fellow prisoner), or with certain weapons, particularly a gun. The specific criteria for first degree murder are established by statute in each state and by the United States Code in federal prosecutions. It is distinguished from second degree murder in which premeditation is usually absent, and from manslaughter which lacks premeditation and suggests that at most there was intent to harm rather than to kill.

First degree murder is defined by federal and state laws, which vary by state, but generally define it as a killing which is deliberate and premeditated. Many states define first degree murder as a killing committed in connection with felonies such as rape, burglary, arson, or involving multiple deaths, the killing of certain types of people (such as a child or a police officer), or certain weapons, particularly a gun. It is distinguished from second degree murder, which usually does not require premeditation, and from manslaughter, which lacks premeditation and suggests that at most there was intent to harm rather than to kill.
