(Answer "No" if you think he should have been convicted of either charge.)

Note that there are some similar photos of "Trayvon" on the web that have been debunked as fakes (or the wrong Trayvon Martin). These are not the fake ones.

(This most recent suspension was for getting caught with a marijuana pipe and an empty bag containing marijuana residue.)

At the time, the school police could not determine who the jewelry belonged to, so Martin was only suspended for graffiti. However, the jewelry and watch appear to match a description of items stolen during a burglary of a house about a half-mile from the school that took place on Oct. 21, 2011. It is unclear whether the jewelry was ever returned or definitively matched to the jewelry Martin had in his backpack.

(There is no indication of who is holding the gun or who it belongs to.)

The text message from his friend in question 17 also implies he had previously been suspended for fighting ("Nooo... Stop, yuu waint gonn bee satisified till yuh suspended again, huh?").

It's not clear whether Trayvon and his friend are referring to the suspension in October or another one in November. His family has said the 3rd suspension was for "tardiness and truancy", but since the school records have not been released, it can't be confirmed whether there were additional reasons for any of his suspensions.

(He later said it was his son's voice in his testimony at trial.)

Jeantel's testimony: "It could be. Like I said, I don't know but it could be. The dude sound kind of like Trayvon. Trayvon do got that soft voice and that baby voice sometimes, so it could be, I don't know."

Some sources had reported that there were two witness who saw Martin on top, but the second witness, who arrived on the scene immediately after the gunshot, only said Zimmerman looked like he had "got his butt beat". He had not witnessed the actual struggle.

Note that the prosecution and some news reports claimed he did not have a broken nose, apparently believing that, because he appeared to have a straight septum, that meant his nose was not broken. However, the medical report said it was a "closed fracture", which is considered a "broken nose" and the attending physician's assistant confirmed at the trial that he had a broken nose, despite the apparently straight septum.

There is about a 4 minute gap between the time Martin started running (and Zimmerman lost sight of him) and his confrontation with Zimmerman, based on the time of the 911 calls from neighbors. Jeantel says she was on the phone with Martin for a couple of minutes after he called her back.

If Trayvon's comment simply meant that he was in the general area near his father's fiancee's house, then it could mean he stopped running somewhere closer to the point of the confrontation. That would mean he was doing something else for about 3 minutes -- either he was hiding because he was afraid of Zimmerman, as the prosecution argued (and he felt like he couldn't run home for some reason), or he was waiting for Zimmerman in order to confront him.

What he actually said was said "f***ing punks". Even the prosecution admitted this at the trial.

In July 2005 Zimmerman was at a college bar at UCF. While he was there undercover agents with the state ABT division were conducting a sting operation for underage drinking. An agent tried to arrest one of Zimmerman's friends, but Zimmerman, possibly not understanding what was happening, walked up to his friend and started trying to talk to him. The agent's report says Zimmerman refused to leave and at some point he "pushed" the agent causing a "short struggle."

Zimmerman was arrested and charged with "resisting officer with violence" and "battery of law enforcement officer". Those charges were immediately reduced to "resisting officer without violence" and then dropped altogether when Zimmerman agreed to enter a "pre-trial diversion" program, which is common for first-time offenders. The program usually entails paying fines and taking various classes such as Anger Management, Life Skills, Victim Awareness, etc.

In his application to the citizens' police academy Zimmerman disputed the police report, insisting that the undercover agent "never told me he was an officer". He wrote "I hold law enforcement officers in the highest regaurd [sic] as I hope to one day become one. I would never have touched a police officer."

Zimmerman later told the police Martin had run down the walkway between the houses. See the map above.

From the audio recording, it's clear Zimmerman had already started on foot in the direction Martin had run. After about 10 seconds when he tells this to the dispatcher, the dispatcher simply says, "we don't need you to do that" and Zimmerman says "OK". After a few more seconds, the pace of his breathing slows to normal and it seems clear that he is walking (no longer running or jogging).

He and the dispatcher then start to discuss where he should meet with the police and Zimmerman tells the dispatcher he doesn't know where Martin went. Zimmerman later told the police he had stopped trying to find Martin by that point, but there is no way to tell what he did after hanging up.

During the test Zimmerman was asked, "Did you confront the guy you shot?", to which Zimmerman answered, "No." He was also asked, "Were you in fear for your life, when you shot the guy?", to which Zimmerman answered, "Yes." The examiner concluded that Zimmerman "told substantially the complete truth" in the examination, and Zimmerman was classified as "No Deception Indicated [NDI]"

Zimmerman claimed that, because Martin punched him in the face and pinned him to the ground, he was unable to retreat and therefore acted in legitimate self-defense, even without the "stand your ground" law.

Without "stand your ground", Florida law still allows for the use of deadly force when a person "reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another" and they cannot retreat. All US states have a similar allowance for self-defense and most do not have a "duty to reteat".

Some have noted that, although the jury instructions did include "stand your ground" language, that language is part of the standard jury instruction [3.6(f)] in all cases where the defendant claims self-defense. It does not mean it was necessarily relevant to the case.

However, one of the jurors has since said the jury did discuss the "stand your ground" law even though it was not used as part of Zimmerman's defense. They felt it would have supported his self-defense claim even if some members of jury doubted his inability to retreat. But it does not appear "stand your ground" was the determining factor in their verdict. The prosecution simply hadn't provided enough evidence to disprove, beyond reasonable doubt, the key parts of what Zimmerman said happened.

(Answer "No" if you think he should have been convicted of either charge.)
