The previous two weeks had seen a number of robberies in the neighborhood, which will probably factor into the charges when filed - it will definitely be part of his defense. My bet is charged with second degree and he pleads out at manslaughter with a reduced or no sentence. The fact that his nose and back of his head were injured supports the self defense aspect, but he's got a bit of a vigilante complex, it seems.

Just, ya know, for the record.

Trayvon's GF possibly perjured herself: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...0,129597.story

Zimmerman looks to have gained a bunch of weight. And growing his hair out. That will look a lot better to a jury rather than a fitter guy with a shaved head. It will make him look less militant.

Obviously they are going afte credibility on the girl. That's the right move, for them.

Officials confirmed Saturday that a Florida policeman accused of bringing Trayvon Martin targets in for shooting practice was fired.

Port Canaveral Sgt. Ron King was terminated from the police department on Friday, according to Interim Chief Executive Officer John Walsh.

Whether his act was hatred or stupidity, none is tolerable, Mr. Walsh told WFTV. He had a target in the back of his car and offered it to two other officers with the port.

It's undetermined if any of the targets were actually used. Mr. Walsh told reporters the sergeant purchased the targets on the Internet.

Using a dead child's image as target practice is reprehensible, Benjamin L. Crump, an attorney for the Martin family, said in a statement.

Hmm..how does this "get out" of the PD in the first place? Why is this a firing offense vs a suspension? Why do PD's publicize internal disciplinary actions? I wonder if this cop had some enemies within the PD who saw this as a chance to take their shot?

Probably, but he sure gave them a target :)

According to the mortified ceo of the port authority, john walsh, fellow cops disgusted with the choice of targets, turned king in. King has not been charged with any crime.

When a company announced last May that it was producing silhouette firing-range targets based on Martin's appearance, it brought outrage both from the Martin family's attorney and from gun enthusiasts, . But the company also said it sold out of its first production run of the targets in two days.

Sick.

The same way the Secret Service Michele Obama incident got out; snitches exist EVERYWHERE.
Oh and LOL@Shittyjournalism. WTF was he going to be charged with exactly?

A lot of people bought those targets for discretionary shooting courses. They have kid ones and old people ones too. I hadn't heard about anyone buying them just to shoot at, but it doesn't surprise me. I've seen people shooting at worse.

The zombie ones are my favorite.
