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 Law & Legal Definition
The term "child" was used to imply that Treyvon wasn't dangerous, or even to imply that he was "innocent," as in "uncorrupted." Nothing could be further from the truth. He may not have been a legal adult, but he certain was no child, and he certain wasn't "innocent."
No.
Because of his age, he was a child.
Doesn't really matter any more than the photos of him smoking flipping off - he was hunted and murdered.
And, although I realize there are "hate crime" laws, it also doesn't really matter whether Zimmerman is a racist. He loaded his gun, put it in his pocket and went hunting. He found someone to follow, harass and kill.
A very sad part of this crime is that it was ignored, buried and forgotten until Trayvon's mother made a stink. Lots of people are murdered every year and the killed never even arrested. It cannot be denied and shouldn't be ignored that most of the time, the killer who walks is white and the dead person is not.
If the killer is black and the dead person is white - suddenly its a crime worth investigating and trying.
Its just the way it is in the home of free where all men are created equal.
