Sorry, but 5'11. Certainly not 6'3.

The hoodie did also add to his stature as seen in the 7-11 photos

Corey did what she was told to do, prosecute gz. Rotten evidence, rotten witnesses, rotten legal case, reflecting the rot of how gz was politically persecuted.
Trayvon had a decent school record. One of his teachers characterized him as a good student who got A's and B's.

Exactly. People don't realize this.

Zimmerman's injuries don't prove that Trayvon attacked him. It only proves he was besting Zimmerman in the physical confrontation.

The over the top hyperbole is nauseating

Anyway, TM's parents "lost" their "angel son" once he became a wannabe pot smoking thuggie teen. Had he beaten up GZ successfully, he'd have been tweeting all over and boasting of his new street cred.
Oh, give it a rest with the hoodies. (The rest of that post is so vile I'm not going to respond.)

This is a lie, pure and simple. You flatter yourself in fantasizing that you have a "history" with FF5000;
you aren't even a blip on his/her radar. You owe this poster an apology for telling not one but 3 blatant lies, but we all know you aren't man enough to do it.

It's over people. The jury acquitted him. Move on with your lives.

Obama: 'Honor' Trayvon Martin by preventing future tragedies
"I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken," Obama said in a written statement released by the White House.
