Because when the Martin's lawyers hired a PR firm to bring"awareness" way back before it went to trial, and after the Sanford PD did not press charges, they had to use the types of words & descriptions to inflame the public in order to motivate them to action of protests in the streets. They had to change the scenario of the facts of the true facts of self defense. One of those words- a "child" instead of "teenager". Why? When most people hear the word child, they picture a small, innocent child that can do no wrong. And so here we are today.... GZ being what is being labeled, a white (even though he's half Hispanic), racist (even though it's been proven he's not); and you have Martin being labeled a innocent child, (even though he was 17 and is far from innocent, with evidence to the fact that he was thrown out of school in Miami twice in 6mos, (that's how he ended up in Sanford at his father's girlfriend's apt. at Twin Lakes) for criminal activities by the Miami PD.
