It looks as if Zimmerman defense plan is to put Trayvon on trial

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.

since Tray was such an out of control MAN on DRUGS with a gold tooth and all that. Poor Zimmy. Poor poor zimmy. He has to live with the knowledge he killed a MAN on DRUGS for the rest of his life. Isn't that enough? Poor poor zimmy.

I do hope the sarcasm icon isn't nec.
