Circuit Judge Debra Nelson has limited the evidence George Zimmerman's attorneys can use during his trial, in which he shot the unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year. Details about Martin's marijuana, school suspension and fights cannot be used in opening statements, Nelson said.
The defense team for neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who was charged with fatally shooting an unarmed Trayvon Martin during a confrontation at a gated community in Sanford, Florida, a city near Orlando, released data from the 17-year-old's cellphone. This information ncluded texts with a friend about fighting, smoking marijuana and being forced to move out of his mother's house because of trouble at school.
