I think I copied the link correctly. It looks like you have to highlight the whole mess and put it in the URL line. The book is a detailed and frank look at the incident, and how the mass media, government agencies, and a biased as hell judge conspired to put an innocent man in prison for the rest of his life ... and what saved Zimmerman. There is plenty of sleaze involved and the media behavior and dishonesty is covered accurately and in detail with documentation. The author also covers Trayvon Martin's violent criminal history, which few people are aware of. A superb book on one of the most outrageous incidents in American jurisprudence.

Thanks shooter. I do not need the books to know that Zimmerman is A OK. Thank you for your post.

Does it also tell of Zimmy's subsequent adventures using a gun? No? Thought not.

It has to tough to live in a world where Trayvon is one of your heroes.

Yup. Trayvon ain't one of my heroes. He had a considerable history of violence and law-breaking. One of the interesting things that the book mentions is that at the time of his attack on Zimmerman, Trayvon was suspended from his school for possession of drugs and possession of stolen property. The school, for its own reasons, kept that and many other disciplinary actions secret. (Honest reporting on student criminality makes the school's statistics look bad.)

Another interesting aspect is that it appears Trayvon's walk to the nearby convenience store was to purchase ingredients for an easy to make drug called "lean."

LAS - my "your" was definitely not directed toward you.

Understood. But I thought it might be interesting to share a little bit of Martin's violent and vile background and recent history. He was a lowlife long before his sucker punching and ground and pound of Zimmerman led to Martin's untimely assumption of ambient temperature.

It is clear that the world is a better place sans Trayvon Martin.
