Well imo that's a convenient line to take. At what point do you stop and say from this point forward its just an innocent boy minding his own business??
You know your past dictates alot of what you do now. Your past has a way of catching up to you as well. Heck I bet if it was an actual boy (of any color) and not a big young man who prides himself in fighting and gangsta life things would have been different.
This came down to two people crossing paths that was a perfect situation for a confrontation. Martin was a punk and lived that punk ass life lifestyle...it caught up to him. I understand opinions vary on this and I'm not saying I am right and your wrong but I did agree with the jury and their decision.
