Well you are probably one of those people who think that if a women dresses sexy and gets raped she was asking for it. Or if that same woman was sleezy, or slutty and had lots of partners you could bring those things up at the trial to get an aquittal. Either way its wrong. Past behaviour is not relavant to what happened only what happened that night is important.

The state said in motions filed on Friday they want to prevent Zimmerman's attorneys from bringing up Martin's personal life, including his school records, previous suspension from school, fights, text messages sent prior to his death unless related to case and his social media use.
The motion also says the state wants to prevent the defense from using Martin's toxicology report, which showed the level of marijuana in Martin's blood the night he was shot and killed.
If Zimmermans life outside of that night is relevant, then so is Martins.
If Martins' life outside of that night is off limits, then so is Zimmermans.
If Zimmermans 'general attitude' in life matters .. then so does Martins.
If Martins 'general attitude' in life doesn't matter .. then neither does Zimmermans.
Which ever way it goes ... It should be same/same for both of them. IMHO.

The classic defense if the victim can't defend themselves drag their name through the dirt. The fact remains Zimmerman had no legal right to do anything thing he did that night.

what?....Zimmerman, armed with a hand gun, had every right to run after a look-alike black ganster kid in a hoodie for walking down the street, confront him, wrestle him to the ground, and shoot him....he is innocent and he should be freed because it was self-defence (sarcasm fully engaged)

Zimmerman has lied and changed his story a million times.
He's a murderer with a violent past himself.

Martin in this case is the "victim.
Is he? Or is he a 'perp' that attacked the wrong person?
He may be dead. But that doesn't automatically make him a victim.
Autopsy reports said medical examiners found THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, when they tested Martin's blood and urine.
But Larry Kobilinsky, professor of forensic science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, told the AP that the THC amount was so low that it may have been ingested days earlier and played no role in Martin's behavior. He doubts the judge will even let it be used by the defense if they try to introduce it at trial.
"This kind of level can be seen days after somebody smokes," Kobilinsky told CBS News. "If it comes up in the case, I would be surprised. It wouldn't benefit the defense, it wouldn't benefit the prosecution, and if the defense tried to bring it up, the judge would keep it out."

He had a legal right to defend himself after being attacked (mounted and punched in the face). He didn’t chase the kid down the street and shoot him in the back; he was attacked! I hope the truth comes out.

They will probably keep references to his school suspensions and juvenile record out.
Those toxicology reports from the autopsy are coming in. I will eat my shoe if they don't as they are relevant to the incident.
We'll see.
