Justice for Trayvon
More Info
Protests have broken out across the United States following the verdict in the widely-publicized trial of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman, a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, under the protection of Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law. The judgment has ignited a firestorm of public opinion, with many citing the case as a symbol for larger national issues, including gun control, overzealous media coverage, and a biased judicial system.
