He knew no one there, he had no legitimate business there, and had absolutely zero reason to be at that place at any time of the day, let alone after dark.
During the trial, they didn't even discuss why he was in that location at all, if he wasn't there to either (a) scout a home or (b) break into a home.

The kid is dead, the trial is over, let him rest in peace.
What has he done to you?!?
What is your agenda with this post?
If your point was to prove that he was a regular teenager who took part in things that many people from his age category do, then you have succeeded.
You "grown adults" finding any reason whatsoever to demonize this kid are really starting to get irritating.

The Retreat at Twin Lakes is a 260-unit gated townhome community in Sanford, Florida.[60][61] The population in the development, at the time of the shooting, was about 49% non-Hispanic white, 23% Hispanic (of any race), 20% black, and 5% Asian, according to Census figures.[47] Both George Zimmerman and Tracy Martin's fiancée were renting homes in the development when the shooting occurred.[24] At the time of the shooting, Martin had been staying with his father's fiancee at The Retreat.[23]
The reason no one addresses the issue of "what he was doing there" is because he had every right to be there.
Irrelevant. The reason he was there does not negate his right to be there.
He did have a right to be there.
He was in the neighborhood watch, he was in his neighborhood... that is exactly where he should have been.
By all account Zimmerman was the one who was somewhere he shouldn't have been
Why beat a dead horse?

He would not have been in Sanford, buying Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea (two of three ingredients for a concoction known as 'drank').

Drank made with sprite and red and purple jolly ranchers by the way. If he was making "drank", why wouldn't he have bought cough syrup?
There's no way to know why he had liver damage unless and autopsy checked for each and every one of those items.
And if he was making some toxic beverage to consume, who's he hurting?.. himself. Not anyone else.

Or if he referred specifically to the concoction in his cell phone messages to his friends.

But,
When he threatens to kill someone, punches them repeatedly in the face while straddling them on a sidewalk and then goes for that person's gun after he sees it exposed.... who is he hurting then?
