I think the "black 17 year old" part can be left there as it adds to the facts and accuracy not in dispute.
As far as "assailant": the Martin family are no longer disputing that the fact that at the time of his death Trayvon was assailing Zimmerman.
His step mother Alicia Martin on Dr Phil claimed that Zimmerman didn't try hard enough to push the assailing Trayvon off of him. She never disputed the assailing part.
I saw the Dr. Phil show episode by coincidence...
... I thought Dr. Phil was the biggest lying criminal on the set that day....
jmho.... hagd....
My husband was way stronger than his sons...until they became six foot tall young men into varsity sports. (However, he’s meaner than they could ever dream of being, so it all evens out. LOL).
This is just to say, Zimmerman was probably not as strong as Martin. In addition, Martin was bigger than him and practiced his street fighting hobby “knock out king.” All these claims that Martin was an innocent “child” at the mercy of a stronger “adult” are bs. My sons, at high school age, could not be confused with “children.”
