Did the jurors get to see the picture of Trayvon on the ground after he died?

Because that photo alone does it for me. If he'd been involved in a fight-to-the-death, on the ground, in the rain, his light colored pants would show it. But not even the knees are messed up.

I hope the prosecution made a big point of this.

of the body as they found it when they arrived. If that is the picture, the jury would have to see it.

This link describes them seeing photos after Trayvon was shot including one of him face up. His father left the courtroom when these were shown to the jury.
