One of the last photographs of Trayvon Martin

[StateLine]

Reportedly taken about 2 weeks before his demise. "But he was only a child..." GMAFB.

Disparity in size, strength, and physical dexterity are common factors in determining if use of force was justified. I'm sorry but short, chubby Zimmerman was a very unlikely match for this "kid", especially if he got caught offguard with a punch to the face and a broken nose. I also find it HIGHLY unlikely that Zimmerman could have caught Martin on foot unless Martin wanted him to.

Zimmerman will be found guilty or the black folk will riot in the skreets

Is there any type of timetable for when a verdict will be announced? Surely this will all be settled within a month or two right?

Agreed. Anyone remember the OJ trial ?

This picture will not help Zimmerman's case any. He looks just like a child here. Could be 5' tall in reference to the woman sitting beside him. Not arguing either way on guilt or innocence, but if you want to sway opinion to Zimmerman, this is not the way to do it.

Truly. If I were the defense attorney I wouldn't want this picture out there. He's better dressed than I am most of the time.

And he looks like a tall 14 YO.

Agree with this comment... This may become another example of rush to judgement pressure... Hopefully the jury (sequestered) will judge base on the evidence, not the mob

Looks like a typical teenaged kid to me. Dressed nice, smiling, wearing headphones.

Woman next to him is standing, not sitting... although she is not tall.... He does look over 6"... Anyone know his actual height?

He looks like a child to you? Not to me.

Mainly I was pointing out the difference between what TM actually looked like and what the media would have us all believe he looked like.

M.E.'s report put him at 5'11"
