His drug conviction goes to his character, not the context in which Zimmerman would have observed him. Scofflaws (and if you smoke marijuana illegally, whether you think it's a good law or not, you're a scofflaw) are generally going to be more predisposed to violence.
The light Martin has been portrayed in this case by the media seems more about preserving the narrative than worrying about the truth.
But that's what we have criminal investigations for.

I can't seem to find it now, but I remember reading about Zimmerman's (violent) priors somewhere. If I wasn't imagining that, then that would be relevant as well.

How do you get "violent" priors from him pleading out to nonviolently resisting a police officer? I mean the name of the crime pretty much rules out what you're trying to impute to Zimmerman's character.
