"I know the answer - but doesn’t it seem that bringing in GZ’s college records should mean that the jury should hear about TM’s school records (including jewelry, burglary tools, drug use, etc. etc.) It is MUCH more on point as it shows that rather than GZ being *crazy* for suspecting TM - he would have been crazy NOT to suspect him!!! imo." Didn't prosecution open the door to seeing TM's school records?

People keep asking this question. The simple fact is that just because records of one side get entered does not mean the other sides have to be entered. The bottomline determination is whether they are relevant. With Zimmerman's transcripts the prosecution climed they showed that he knew the law on "Stand Your Ground." Trayvon's records have nothing to do with that. They have to have their own independnat relevance to the case.

If someone claims that Trayvon was a "little saint" the door will be opened to counter that false impression left with the jury. Until the door is opened, Trayvon's past is not relevant according to the judge. For the record, I disagree with the judge's rulng on that score since I thin it is relevant to show whether or not Trayvon might have attacked Zimmerman.

Unless they’re really, really careful, they can’t call either parent. As soon as they say “good boy”...they’ve opened the door.

It appears the Prosecutor is not calling the actual ME who saw the body, so can the Defense call him/her and can they ask about the Toxicology report? If so and they state he had marijuana in his body, can they then bring up his past?
