Sorry--I don't remember how to post photos here, but check out " target="_blank">this large uncropped (less cropped) version

From everything I've read, I suspect that Zimmerman needlessly, and in cowardly manner, shot Trayvon Martin to death, but I don't think it does "our side" any good to stray from the truth in this way. Just as I don't think it was smart to be using an old photo of Trayvon--it gives people who want to blame Trayvon ammunition, and you know how much they love ammunition.
