Will the Real Trayvon Martin Show Up at Zimmerman Murder Trial?

The Prosecution is doing their best to keep evidence of Trayvon's violence and drug abuse out of courtroom!

It's a safe bet that most Americans know more about Trayvon Martin, the black teenager killed in a scuffle with George Zimmerman in Florida last year than they do about the death of our Ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya last September.

It's also a safe bet that what most Americans know about Trayvon Martin is wrong. Racebaiters and their media accomplices did their best to portray Trayvon as an innocent lamb gunned down by a racist vigilante. Democrats embraced this image and amplified it. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) said Trayvon "was executed for 'WWB' in a 'GC.' Walking While Black in a Gated Community."

Obama even got into the act saying "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon." Really? The majority of photographs we see of Trayvon were taken years before his death. They give the impression of an innocent, if not angelic, teen. One photo, which was widely used on posters and T shirts was photoshopped to soften Trayvon's features and skin tone.

But the real Trayvon, the one who showed up in Zimmerman's neighborhood on that fateful night looked like this:



Is this Obama's "son?" The real Trayvon Martin minutes before his death.

It's no surprise that the Prosecutor in the Zimmerman trial, set to begin later in June, wants to keep images of the real Trayvon out of the trial. With jurors already saturated with images of an angelic teen, the truth about Trayvon would undermine the prosecution case. In pretrial motions the judge has sided with the prosecution and kept all photos, texts, tweets and evidence of violent behavior and drug use out of the trial.

Some of those forbidden images show Trayvon smoking pot and showing a gun:



 Images from Trayvon Martin's cell phone. Not the innocent lamb he is portrayed to be.

Unless the Prosecutor seeks to paint Trayvon as an innocent teen the Defense may be blocked from introducing the contradictory information. But why should the prosecution raise the issue since the media has already done that to such an extent that the positive image of Trayvon and the negative perception of Zimmerman is already ingrained in the minds of the public and likely jurors.

The Martin family worries that releasing photos and texts showing the real Trayvon might prejudice the jury. But isn't that exactly what has been happening here against the defendant? Will justice be served?
