Actually, the history of Trayvon should have been essential if this were to be a fair trial.

If the jury was aware of Trayvon’s record lately, they would understand that his attacking George was not so very odd.

From the comments of your linked NY Daily News article, this is how devoid of thought people are regarding this trial:

Persam11977 minutes ago

What a load of garbage! You yourself are not reading, only writing. There is no "history of this young man...that led to the final outcome." This child had every right to go about his business without being harassed by some cop wannabe. Your wife's personal anecdote is completely irrelevant and insulting to educators everywhere.

This commenter ignores the facts, of course, that Zimmerman turned down an opportunity to patrol the neighborhood in a uniform, with a radio and a car with flashing lights as part of a police initiative - hardly sounds like a "wannabe cop". He also told Chris Serino that ha HAD wanted to be a police officer, but was now more interested in legal studies and possibly becoming an attorney.

If you were a child of 17, legally walking in your own neighborhood that your father paid taxes in, and you were followed by an armed civilian who was told by the police to not leave his car and engage, would you be so willing to blame yourself for the conflict and your own death?

Of course we now know that Trayvon and his father weren't actually supposed to be in that neighborhood - they weren't on the lease for Brandy Greene's condo, and weren't supposed to be living there. We also know that Martin wasn't simply "walking in his neighborhood", he was standing in the yard of a recently burglarized home, at night, in the rain.

There's a reason why this nut job couldn't get into the police department!

Yeah, his credit rating.

So here you have a comment, chosen at random, to illustrate how people are (not) thinking about this entire affair. This far into the trial and people who know basically only what the MSM have told them are running around accusing others of not having the facts.

The line about the head wounds not being serious enough is absurd. I guess you have to wait until your attacker achieves a certain level of injury before you fight back.
