On CNN's Headline New defensy atty O'Mara mentioned that Martin was under the influence of marijuana and that he was spotted near a home that had recently been burglarized. O'Mara went on to say that Martin had recently been "caught with the fruits of a burglary." A reference to the watch, jewelry and burglary tool found in Martin's backpack by school authorities several months before. With that comment, O'Mara is serving notice to those who will pursue Zimmerman in civil court that the barriers to evidence in the criminal case of Martin's recent troubled history before his death will not pertain in civil court.

Trayvon's shady record will certainly come up on a civil rights case.

Suspended from school three times:
<><> He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
<><> Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
<><> Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness
The buzz is his brother tweeted that Trayvon attacked the schoolbus driver.

FReeper Highest Authority wrote: The Ariona Watermelon Tea and skittles that Trayvon bought at the convenience store right before he encountered Zimmerman is two parts of a Southern ghetto high called DANK or LEAN....and Purple Drank. All he needed to complete the mix was Robitussin ---a common cough syrup, which was probably in his hip pocket. So when his putative daddy would not give "the child" the 20 bucks for a coupla joints---Trayvon decided to get high w/ this formula.
Amazing how "the child" knew this. Street-wise Trayvon has been know to talk about "purple drank" both on social media and in school. He was suspended not only for assaulting his schoolbus driver but also for his drug use.
Side effects of the usage of "lean" includes aggressive behavior.....helps to understand why this rabid "child" attacked his bus driver and lay in wait----like a predator----for FOUR FULL MINUTES TO attack George Zimmerman.
I hope the coroner took Trayvon’s fingerprints at the autopsy, if they aren’t already on file somewhere. If this goes to civil court, it’s worth checking out that one house for that kid’s prints, as well as the piece of awning they found in the bushes where he seems to have hid.
Then there was the three stooges buying blunts. Wish there was investigation into Skittles’ relationship with them.
Ping for later reading & use....
