Everything seems to suggest that the Zimmerman defense team plans to put Trayvon on trial in order to defend their client. It's absolutely despicable, given that Trayvon cannot defend himself - Zimmerman made sure of that.
For example, it's been reported that Trayvon had THC in his system - as if this somehow turned him into some sort of raving "Reefer Madness" psychotic. This has absolutely no relevance to the case whatsoever, but you can be sure the defense team is going to latch on to this, as well as anything else that fits the Scary Black Male stereotype.

I do hope the sarcasm icon isn't nec.
