There are a couple of passages in the article, or perhaps they are in linked articles there, that say he was suspended at least three times in one school year, that he had a screwdriver that a policeman described as a “burglary tool” in one of those episodes, etc.

I've heard that as well. As Angela Corey said, it doesn't matter.

What matters is what he was seen doing that night, and how he chose to deal with being noticed by a neighborhood watch Captain.

His choice was violence. Dumb move, illegal move, and then compounded by trying to take Zimmerman's gun in a tug of war. All his choices that night are what makes Martin responsible for his own death.

Angela Corey is a mind-reader. She knows what Trayvon was thinking as he walked around in the rain looking at buildings. She knows that Zimmerman had a depraved mind. She is asserting that Zimmerman started the confrontation and challenging him to prove the opposite when he is the only living witness.

I listened to Trayvon's father's account of what the police told him that Zimmerman told them. I don't know how accurately he repeated what the police said, but it sounded like Travyon came up to Zimmerman twice, once when he was in his vehicle and later when Zimmerman was out of the vehicle. All Trayvon's father could say was that he thought Zimmerman was lying to the police.

Which was...walking down the street with a bag of skittles and iced ice?

What we have heard is one sided(Zimmerman's)of what went down and neighbors' view AFTER the confrontation ALREADY started.

What we don't know is just as important as what we do know....
