I'm sure a lawyer will set me straight if I'm wrong here but even if the judge rules before the trial that this stuff can't be introduced as evidence my understanding of the law is that if the prosecutors,or prosecution witnesses,utter a single syllable about what a fine,gentle young man Saint Trayvon was that opens the door for the defense to prove otherwise...including by introducing stuff like this.
It would seem, but I don’t know for sure.
Yeah, maybe this applies here--and I hope Martin's character does come up as compared to Z's--these disclosure may be a strategy to also undermine any civil suit that comes upregardless of the criminal case. Why else are Martin's mother & father and Crump even pursuing this? The basis is not a conviction or retribution. IMHO the real basis of the whole thing is Crump playing them like a pipe organ through the $$ in their eyes. Like my son always says, "Dad, just follow the money."
Revealing the true character of Trayvon in court is trumps against conviction or $$$$.
