Judge in George Zimmerman case signs subpoena for Trayvon's Twitter, Facebook info By Rene Stutzman, Orlando Sentinel

The judge in the George Zimmerman murder case on Monday signed orders, directing Twitter and Facebook to release to defense attorneys all of Trayvon Martin's posted comments, photos, videos and messages plus his list of Facebook friends.
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson did the same for the state's most important witness, the young Miami woman who was on the phone with Trayvon moments before Zimmerman shot him.
The subpoenas are no surprise. The judge agreed months ago to sign them after defense attorneys argued they were entitled to the information.
They're important because they could wind up producing key information about both Trayvon, a 17-year-old high school junior from Miami Gardens, and the young woman, his girlfriend.
Trayvon had no history of arrests, according to Sanford police, but he was disciplined by Miami-Dade school officials, who one time found women's jewelry in his backpack along with a burglary tool, according to the Miami Herald.
There also have been hints about Trayvon's marijuana use, and what he posted on Twitter and Facebook could reveal more about that.
When he was killed, he was in the midst of a 10-day school suspension because officials had found an empty marijuana baggie in his backpack. In addition, autopsy tests revealed his blood contained a small amount of marijuana.
The subpoena for his social media records asks that Twitter and Facebook produce information about him dating back to Jan. 1, 2011.
That's the same date in the subpoena for his girlfriend's social media posts and information.
