I feel that the false representation that the media is providing for the case is swaying people in the wrong direction. Most of Trayvon's pictures are from when he is was 8, so that makes people feel that Trayvon was an innocent kid. In reality Trayvon had drugs on him and other things. I am not saying that Zimmerman is innocent, but the media made Zimmerman look really bad and Trayvon look good.
