          One article that I read was timeline of the events in the Trayvon Martin case.  On February 26th, Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman in "self defense."  After being questioned, Zimmerman was not arrested for homocide.  On March 16th, 911 tapes were finally released and the voice screaming "please don't kill me" identified with Trayvon Martin's, according to his mother.  On March 19th, Martin's girlfriend spoke about how on the phone, she told him to run before she heard pushing and the line went dead.  On March  24th, George Zimmerman's friend claimed the voice in the 911 calls were Zimmerman's and after the shooting, Zimmerman "couldn't stop crying."  On March 28th, a police surveillance video showed Zimmerman with no injuries, contrary to police reports saying he had a broken nose and head injury.  On April 9th, it was confirmed that the case would not see a grand jury.
           I believe that this article was simply trying to give information about this case.  Even though it's main information was against Zimmerman, that is what was available.  Anything that was used to argue that Zimmerman was innocent was used.  However, I do feel that the author was likely to be against Zimmerman in terms of whether he is innocent or guilty.  I believe this due to the wording of some of these facts.  For example, he said that on the night Trayvon Martin was shot, a surveillance tape showed no blood or bruises on Zimmeran.  They could have said something like, there were no apparrent wounds on Zimmerman.  The article was anti-Zimmerman but it also used hard facts.
           I believe that the fact that George Zimmerman has not yet been arrested ridiculous.  He claims that Trayvon Martin punched him in the nose and knocked him to the ground in one punch.  That is just unrealistic.  The idea that a 140 pound 17 year old knocked a 26 year old, over 200-pound man  is far fetched.  Zimmerman is clearly racist and that alone is disgusting.  Zimmerman was told not to follow Martin and he did it anyway.  Even if Trayvon Martin had assulted him, Zimmerman did not deserve to take his life.
