For obvious reasons.
Via Washington Times:
On a cold late February evening in 2012, unarmed seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman claims he killed Martin in self-defense.
Since then, Martin’s history of truancy, firearms-related issues, and marijuana use, among other things, has come to light.
After a special prosecutor was commissioned, Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder and is currently standing trial.
Evidence indicates that Zimmerman suffered head injuries the night Martin died, though exactly how and why remains a mystery. What can be certain, however, is that the shooting’s aftermath has been highly polarizing.
It has also drawn considerable attention to the oft-overlooked central Florida port city of Sanford, where the shooting took place.
On Thursday, The Conservative Tree House, a popular right-leaning blog which features very detailed coverage of the Zimmerman trial, released several documents from a Freedom of Information Act request.
These documents indicate that Trayvon Martin engaged in legally punishable activities, but the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department chose to treat this as a matter of school discipline.
It was also found that an official with the Sanford Police Department did not mention Martin’s dubious activity in a victimology report despite having knowledge of this.
