What’s Happened In The Trayvon Martin Case Since You Stopped Paying Attention

If not for racism, Trayvon Martin would likely still be alive.

Yeah, cause he wouldn't have been killed after attacking Zimmerman merely because he was black. Im sure Zimmerman would have been "Ill let this white guy try to kill me instead of shooting him because at least he isn't black"

Thats the stupidest thing Ive ever seen

Yeah Zimmerman isn't using the stand your ground defense anymore...guess that excuse won't work anymore

It was never applicable nor did he ever claim it. Self defense works without Stand you ground.

The media wanted an excuse to attack stand your ground and decided to use this. You shouldn't let people decieve you so easily.

It’s been nearly a year since George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old on his way back to his father’s townhouse. In the weeks following the shooting, the story captured the nation’s attention, culminating with Zimmerman being charged with second-degree murder last April.

But as the story has receded from the headlines, the legal case has plodded along and the trial is likely to be completed this summer. Here’s what you may have missed:

1. Zimmerman has spent over $300,000 in donations over the last year and is desperate for more funds to finance his defense.

2. The trial has been set for June 10.

3. New forensic analysis “casts doubt on Zimmerman’s timeline on the night he shot and killed the unarmed teen.”

4. Zimmerman has gained 105 pounds.

5. The defense team acquired Trayvon Martin’s school records.

6. Zimmerman is suing NBC News.

7. The judged denied Zimmerman’s request to be removed from GPS tracking.

8. Trayvon Martin would have turned 18 on February 5.

DETAILS: What's Happened In The Trayvon Martin Case Since You Stopped Paying Attention

Mar 6, 2013



Home - FOX 35 News Orlando reports defense attorney Mark O'Mara, who is representing the alleged shooter George Zimmerman, is seeking medical records for Martin's girlfriend after the prosecution revealed the girl had "misrepresented" herself in interviews about the case.

The girlfriend, known as Witness 8 in court proceedings, is considered to be a key witness in the case because she alleges she was on the phone with Martin before he was killed.

In a recorded interview with the attorney for Martin's parents last March, the girl claimed Martin said during that conversation that someone was following him. She said she heard a brief exchange between him and someone before the phone was cut off. Martin was shot shortly afterwards.

The girl had claimed she was unable to attend Martin's funeral because she had been hospitalized, but it was revealed in court Tuesday she had lied about the visit.

BTW nothing you posted shows the guilt or innocence of George Zimmerman. In fact what it does show is your fishmonger and warped sense justice.

First Trayvon took bad photos now the Girlfriend didnt really go the hospital? Looks like that closes the case. Zimmerman is innocent. Desperate much?

you're right...no one not even Zimmerman even considered citing Stand your Ground. Except...they did:

O’Mara said outside Seminole County Courthouse on Tuesday that Zimmerman believes it would be a better outcome to be found not guilty of murdering Martin, rather than being granted immunity, WESH reported.

“George wants a jury of his peers to decide the case,” O’Mara said. “It’s going to be, I think, a more accepted result for everyone who has to result that he gets an acquittal at trial even more so than immunity hearing by a judge.”
