Is there a reason why the news keep showing Trayvon as a 12 year old instead of the real deal?

If they showed his mug shot, then they can't stir up the amount of hate needed to continue to divide the country.

the media like to divide the country any way it can, there for showing martin as a young boy will make people believe that was really him at time of crime. media wanted a riot to keep people fearful .

it was there fault for only showing what they wanted us to see.

for those who were on the jury they got all the facts not like we t.v watchers did, we got what the media wanted us to see, the jury did well with what they had, they didn't rush in to a decision , I feel what they saw it was the right thing.

we will really never know what happened that night any way. blame the media

Because a cute 12yo boy invokes more sympathy than a 6'3" hooded thug.
