Cutting thru the PHOG on Trayvon


This is a photo of Trayvon taken at his mothers birthday party 9 days before he was killed. Based on this photo and comparative analysis the Sanford police department Trayvon at the time of his death was 6 feet tall and 160 pounds. I was about that size when I graduated High School. I know what that size feels like.

Source of this photo is Snopes


During the Autopsy his weight was listed as 158 pounds.  His height as 5' 11"

There has been confusion on how tall Trayvon was.  It matters because some (including the media) have Trayvon eternally 11 years old.  He was old enough to enlist in the armed services.  (My son did with my permission).  Had this deal gone the other way the law would have prosecuted him as an adult. 

Child or Man?  It's all about what you believe, and that is the fog.

The ever shrinking Trayvon. From 6' 3" to 6'2" to 6' to 5'11".

The picture does reveal the tragedy of what happened. A close family coming together on a birthday, are now without the 17year old.
