George Zimmerman Is Facing a Second-Degree Murder Charge for the Shooting Death of 17-Year-Old Trayvon Martin on February 26th
In an attempt to further illustrate a troubled, defiant 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman is requesting that his victim’s school records be brought to court as part of his defense. Zimmerman’s attorney said he has sent subpoenas to the schools that Martin attended in the Miami area, requesting disciplinary notices, suspensions, and tardiness records among other things.
Martin was suspended by Miami-Dade County schools because traces of marijuana were found in a plastic bag in his book bag. At the time of his death, he was serving the suspension. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. He is pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense via Florida’s — now criticized — “stand your ground” law. Benjamin Crump, Martin family attorney, has said the link between the youth and marijuana should have no bearing on the probe into his shooting death. Zimmerman’s parents are Caucasian and Hispanic and Trayvon Martin’s parents are African American. Many believe Zimmerman is racist and deliberately sought to kill an African American male. The shooting prompted nationwide protests after Zimmerman was not arrested for weeks after the shooting.
In July, Zimmerman claimed that Martin’s death was part of God’s plan. In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, George Zimmerman said he felt the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was killed “was all God’s plan.” ”We must worship a different God,” Martin’s father, Tracy Martin, said in response to Zimmerman’s claim. “There is no way that my God wanted George Zimmerman to murder my teenage son.” Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, referred to the notion as “ridiculous.” In addition to crediting God for the evening of February 26 when he ignored the suggestion of the 911 operator to not confront Martin, Zimmerman also said he’d like to talk to his victim’s parents about that tragic evening. ”Absolutely not,” Fulton said when asked if she’d be willing to meet with Zimmerman.

Again, because he was black he has to be monitored. His school records have nothing to do with the fact he was told “NOT TO FOLLOW” him. But then that’s like telling a meth head not to smoke or shoot up. It’s Racist and they know it. It’s cold blooded murder. This is another ‘Emmitt Till’ event. Let it have been a white kid and a black man. The black man would have been swinging before he was arrested or either committed “suicide” in his jail cell. If they let him go I see all h**l breaking loose in this country. Black people are tired of the Bull that goes on against us.

No one has ever claimed that Trayvon was an angel. Or a scholar…but he did not deserve to be followed and killed. Another case of blame the victim. And you know what…i have a feeling zim is going to walk.
Tahtbwill be a dark day for Florida. And the nation…

It seems to be that everyone has gone full circle on this case and are wasting tax payer’s money with this fool. I recall the FPD dispatch operator told this or gave this clown a direct order to not follow this kid! Plain and simple!
Here he is several months later, trying to find a way out of his mess by requesting school records?
Wake up people, this man committed cold blooded murder and you, the courts, some funny bunny a*s judge who is assisting in this charade allowing all of this c**p to take place. Why not just let him out on a “White Boy Pass” and forget that he committed murder! After all, Trayvon is only “Another Young Black Man.” He was threatening “The Suspect” by being black at night in America! In Florida.
Looking for a way to exonerate and make it justifiable when the entire Nation knows its simply cold blooded murder! Are the dispatcher tapes missing yet? Not that it really matters.

This racist court, and unjust system will release them, but they [the courts] won’t let Trayvon’s attorney get zimmerboy’s medical records.

This man Zimmerman based on his past criminal history should never had a gun in the first place. This is horroriable to the core to tyr to use Trayvon Martin schools records as a defense. I think it is very sick! And I do not think legally the justice system will allow that to happen because if that is the case so many past cases can now be overturned!

This is a sickening and equally transparent attempt to blame the victim in all this for what happened to him. I am sick to death of those who try to establish a false equivalency between a 17-year-old minor and a 28-year-old adult in the name of so-called “fairness.” The fact remains that George Zimmerman initiated the confrontation by getting out of his vehicle by failing to obey a directive NOT to do so. He was a wannabe cop with a history of violence himself, and was at the time taking prescription drugs. I already had a very low opinion of this fool but he is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, and so is his attorney, who I hope will experience a disgraceful end to his career. Just when I think this sociopath can’t get any worse, he manages to outdo himself.
