I used to think the photo of the 11 year old Trayvon was to sway public opinion when placed alongside the mugshot of Zimmerman, but now I’m not so sure. Hollister, the name on the T-shirt, is an American lifestyle brand by Abercrombie & Fitch. It just so happens that after this tragedy, Jahvaris went to work as a model for them! You can’t make it up.

One other thing about the facebook picture of Jahavaris and Trayvon, why is Trayvon so much shorter in the picture above than the one below, taken in 2008 – when Trayvon was 14. I have to wonder if, again, is it to appeal to public opinion – is it even the same person, I mean, Jahavaris is 19 in this facebook picture below:
On a Sonny Hostin special the picture below was used, only one of two I’ve seen of Sybrina and Trayvon together – again, very short and well before 2008. For some reason the owner of the page thinks “they even look alike”, and the name is Stephen Martin, his cousin.
What he looked like (below), at the time of his death, in this picture he has facial hair:
He was an extremely handsome young man, so why the little boy pictures and why does this one say Stephen Martin as well? Maybe he contributed the picture? That’s all I can come up with.
Why make him look whiter and younger when they did use his more recent pictures?
Trayvon was definitely not light skinned, as Mary Cutcher said in her later statements…
I often wonder if the reason Mary Cutcher changed her story about what she saw that night was because of this memorial placed in front of the Retreat Condominiums. ”I know it was the ‘boy’ crying.”
It wasn’t like they didn’t have recent pictures of him to use for media, good pictures from his scrubbed facebook:
Why not use the one below, it was obviously his most recent:
The Martins were willing participants in this media circus – I have NO respect for that, and for using baby pictures to sell their son’s image, over and over again. All this tells me, and all it should tell anyone is they HAD to do it this way, they had to paint a little boy and a monster to get what they wanted – an arrest and a ghetto bank roll. Sounds harsh, huh? Pales in comparison to this language:
Let’s be real, if this had been the picture used for their campaign, this blog wouldn’t exist.

Great job, Vicki!
I agree with you about the Martin’s being willing participants. I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to this case because it is another one where television and certain groups are making more of it than should be. I feel sorry that a child had to be killed but why are people and tv making it into something it isn’t. I was watching HLN JVM show tonight and they were playing recorded conversations that GZ had with his wife when he was in prison. He was telling her that he loves her and she replied the same back. JVM had an expert psych on who went on how this couple are in make believe land and not accepting reality because they said they loved each other. What makes them experts on whether or not a couple love each other.
This is another one of these cases that four years down the road people will be still blogging about just like they are about the Anthony’s.
You are an insult to my intelligence. Obviously we will never agree, I find your words beyond biased, offensive and cruel. Most importantly, shame on me for stooping so low to actually read what you throw out there…
Well, it’s not hard to spot a Zupporter. They ignore the fact that an unarmed, minding his own business, teenager (as in a minor) was pursued and killed by a lying, gun and tactical flash toting, wanna be Keystone Cop.
Photos have nothing to do with it. It’s smoke and mirrors to blame the victim. Shame on you.
