Trayvon Martin walked into a Sanford, Fla., 7-Eleven on Feb. 26, purchased a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea, and before he was able to return to his father's fiancée's home, he was killed. Surveillance footage from the convenience store that evening is among the evidence prosecutors released Thursday, ABC News reports. A short time later, Martin encountered 28-year-old George Zimmerman , a neighborhood watch volunteer, who called a 911 dispatcher to report "a real suspicious guy." When Zimmerman told the dispatcher he was going to follow the suspicious person, he was told, "We don't need you to do that," but did so nonetheless.

Experts say Zimmerman attorney made smart move
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — By questioning a state investigator on the witness stand during a routine bail hearing , George Zimmerman 's defense attorney showed some of the weaknesses in prosecutors' claims that the neighborhood watch volunteer committed second-degree murder, legal experts say. A judge ruled Friday that Zimmerman can be released on $150,000 bail while he awaits trial on murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a Feb. 26 confrontation in a Sanford, Fla. gated community.
George Zimmerman Photo Shows Bloody Head After Trayvon Martin Shooting
A new picture of George Zimmerman, aired publicly for the first time today by ABC News , appears to show blood dripping down the back of his head minutes after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida. Zimmerman stands charged with second-degree murder, but claims he acted in self-defense after Martin slammed his head into the concrete during a scuffle. The original police report from that night noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the head and nose, but grainy surveillance footage from the police station soon after the shooting was much less conclusive than today's new evidence. The photo was reportedly taken with an iPhone by an unnamed person who said they heard the fight, but did not see it. Zimmerman told the photographer to call his wife, and when asked what to say, responded, "Man, just tell her I shot someone."Click photo to view more images. (Reuters, Pool) Updated at 2:10 p.m.

For Martin
This case encompasses most of the most pressing civil rights conflicts with the current constitution. This case has broought attention to an issue that has been fought over and over in this Country.

Cetainly they are not being targeted like non whites are. by kathologist Apr 6
