Judge Rules Zimmerman's Team Can Review Trayvon Martin's Records
A Florida judge has ruled that Trayvon Martin's school and social media records can be handed over to the defense team of his alleged killer, George Zimmerman, despite the efforts of the slain 17-year-old's family to keep the information private.
The decision, made Friday afternoon by Circuit Judge Debra Nelson, could prompt the Miami-area schools Martin attended to provide documents that may include his grades, attendance and any disciplinary action.
But Nelson also ruled that Zimmerman's medical records must be given to prosecutors, though she stipulated that she must first review the material to determine if anything should be removed.

Zimmerman is not Martin's "alleged killer," he's his killer. Zimmerman is Martin's alleged "murderer."
