Trayvon Martin was suspended from school when the Florida teen was allegedly shot by neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman. Martin, 17, was suspended by Miami-Dade County schools because traces of marijuana were found in a plastic baggie in his book bag, family spokesman Ryan Julison said.

Now, this should really have nothing to do with the fact that Zimmerman shot Martin, however, the defense will use this fact as legs to stand on to make Martin out to be a criminal. While we’re using facts that took place before this shooting, why not use Zimmerman’s racist Myspace page as evidence against him?

The family spokesperson, for whatever reason thought it was ok to mention this information, then said, “We maintain that regardless of the specific reason for the suspension, it’s got nothing to do with the events that unfolded on Feb. 26.”
