Even if the judge grants the state’s motion, Martin’s background could come in.
If the state raises, even in passing, any reference to Trayvon being a sweet, innocent youth just out to for a walk, it strikes me that such an argument would open the door for the defense to raise his criminal past to rebut that testimony.
And I know what I’m talking about, because I have seen pretty much every episode of Law & Order ever made. ;-)
