Your bias is showing. It's not been shown that Trayvon was the victim of a crime. Referring to him as such denotes the guilt of Zimmerman.

Was Rodney King not the victim of a crime? Was the Strauss-Kahn maid not the victim of an alleged crime?
I was speaking generally about the nature of justice. Also, a "victim" only carries the connotation that they were harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action. I'd say that covers Trayvon, who was shot in the chest by George Zimmerman. The question of this trial was whether or not Zimmerman was just in his deadly use of force, not whether or not he killed Trayvon.
