For example, Jurors, ask yourselves why nobody testified to what a fine young man TM was? Why did no teacher, preacher or friends talk about the amazing things TM had planned for his future. Could it be because no one could actually truthfully say that? Why did his mother send him to live with his dad? Why was his father's first phone call after finding TM missing to the Juvenile Detention center? What was in that toxicology report that the prosecution wouldn't let you see?
These are things the prosecution doesn't want you to think about. TM wasn't a choir boy. GZ rightly saw him as a suspect.
What could happen to MOM if he said, the court didn't want you to know about TM's thuggish lifestyle as shown by his texts/
Well, there was a reason for this... if someone testified as to trayvon being "a good student, fine young man, aspiring rap artist, etc etc" ... then that would open up the defense to show what a punk he really was. All of the gangsta facebook photos and posts, and so on.
That's why we've not had a procession of people in the courtroom attesting to St. Trayvon's unimpeachable character.
