Phone records have Trayvon on the phone just before his death. Are you suggesting that the cell phone company falsified information to harm Zimmerman's self-defense claim?
I'm sure you read that Trayvon was on the phone and the phone was dropped when the altercation began, so your attempts to minimize this fact don't wash.
Im not saying he wasn't on the phone, just saying how was he on the phone "seconds before being shot", if he was in an altercation with Zimmerman during those moments/seconds before being shot.
The moments before he was shot he would not be on the phone if he was fighting Zimmerman. You don't have the phone on you, drop the call, break someones nose, drop to the ground, bash their head, beat them to a pulp, get a gun pulled and shot in seconds.
Well it seems he was not this harmless kid that his parents and the professional Race Baiters of the NAACP wants everyone to believe.
IN MY OPINION
The more we learn about multiple suspensions, possible drugs, the new photos, he seemed a lot more "thuggish."
It would not surprise me if he provoked Zimmerman.
None of his suspensions were for violent acts. He had no juvenile record. Zimmerman had a violent criminal past. So far, Zimmerman is looking like the thug in this comparison. If we're basing things off of one's past, Zimmerman seems more prone to violence and the clear aggressor in this case.
And having a baggy with drug residue can mean anything. Drug tests were done; there has been no proof that Trayvon took drugs. Until they are, it's probably best to not speculate on this theory. And even if he was proven to smoke weed, not sure what that proves. I smoked plenty of weed as a teen and know many others that did (and still do). All professional people too.
It should be noted that neither Twitter nor the Martin family has confirmed that these tweets belong to Trayvon Martin. It is also possible that the Tweets have been photoshopped or otherwise tampered with, seeing as there are some obvious stylistic differences that exist, even among some of the Tweets on the Caller’s site (for instance, some are spelled more accurately than others). However, if genuine, these Tweets may give us more insight into Martin’s enigmatic life and character.

All of you experts in this case keep leaving the most important part out.
Eye witness accounts all back up zimmerman's story!!
end of speculation - wait for the movie or the trial which ever comes out first.
It is nothing short of disgusting and sickening to read some of these comments
For a couple of weeks we have only heard the victoms side.
Umm ... no. The victim is dead. We'll never hear his story.

Agreed. A kid that's been suspended is still allowed to walk the streets, right?

Instead the officer reported he found women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a “burglary tool,” according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.
School police would call used bubble gum a "burglary tool."
And...Zimmerman's past history of pushing his wife and once arguing with a police officer are what exactly?
Man the hypocrisy is VERY thick.
I'm all for fairness, but what I've noticed is that Trayvon's defenders will go to any length NOT to see any middle ground or even entertain the possibility that the whole situation didn't go down as they originally thought.
Prior to all this info coming out yesterday, people swore that the kid's background was sqeeky clean except for "tardiness." Then the beans come spilling out...truency, "stolen" jewelry, possible burgarly tools, empty marijuana baggies, graffiti...and all they have to say is "what does any of that have to do with anything?" Ask them why is it that the family is only providing pictures of him 13 and younger (one which included an 11 year old a ski trip) and still no answers. Ask them why the police found Zimmer with blood on his face and grass on his back and they suggest "he could have punched himself in the face and rolled around in the grass?" Just unreal.
Yet when Zimmerman's history came out a week after the shooting, everyone looked at his history and automatically jumped to conclusions.
I don't recall anyone saying Trayvon's history was squeaky clean. Only that we had no evidence to the contrary. Even what we know doesn't amount to much. Lots of teen smoke weed and do graffiti. Of course, when some white kid does it, it's an artistic expression. Banksy
Don't you realize that the difference is that ALL of the past history on Zimmerman points to violence and aggression? NONE of this is the case with Trayvon. His history amounts to little more than a rebellious teen. I've done most of the things he's accused of.

They drug tested his body and it came back negative for drugs.
