I don't think that is what anyone is saying. I believe the issue with the photos is when the media kept showing the photo of Trayvon when he was about 12 so the message being sent is Zimmeman had shot a small 12 year old boy. If Trayvon was in fact a tall muscular teenager at the time, it is possible that Zimmeman's account of the shooting is accurate and there was an altercation where they were fighting for the gun and it became self defense. Who knows? We certainly don't. We only know the end result.
