Trayvon Martin Case: George Zimmerman was Judged Unfairly by The Media?

Is the neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, illegally tried to fire on television unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin? This is what some commentators say now, a month after the fateful meeting in a pair of Sanford, Fla.

Death of Mr. Martin was a shame, Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly said about «O'Reilly Factor" Thursday, adding that the circumstantial evidence suggests that Mr. Zimmerman may have jumped to conclusions of racial profiling and Martin, as a man any good.

But Florida Special Prosecutor Angela Corey is investigating the death of Martin, Mr. O'Reilly said, and there is no reason to Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities should demand the arrest until the end of the probe.

"When it comes to experts, I am unhappy with the peak of the court," said O'Reilly. "When it comes to parents, Trayvon, however, they should be cut some slack."

O'Reilly a conservative man, William Bennett, former education minister, went even further in terms of views on CNN on Friday. Recent revelations have drawn a more complex picture of how and Martin Zimmerman, he writes, with the former becoming part of a social democrat, a Spaniard, and the second, a teenager who was suspended from school.

Approval of Jesse Jackson that the death of Martin's shows, blacks "under attack", Spike Lee and tweeting the wrong address for parents Zimmerman, forcing a couple of innocents from their homes to show a deeper problem in the treatment of the case, according to Bennett.

"Many people do not hunt impartial justice, but also to use this crisis for personal or political, and claiming that he is a representative of the big problems of society," says Bennett.

This analysis does not account for the main feature of the case of Martin, according to critics. If this is not for the national buzz about how the Sanford Police initially treated the murder, there would be no special prosecutor to look critically at the facts. Zimmerman may have gone, despite the numerous discrepancies between his account of the meeting and other evidence.

"This is a tragedy and shame, and justice must be served," said Ms. Winfrey in a television interview on Thursday.

Charles M. Blow, columnist of opinion New York Times, on his Twitter feed on Friday listed a number of ways on behalf of the family Zimmerman, of what happened does not match what appears on the 911 and the physical location of the scene.

Among other things, said Martin Zimmerman walked behind the house, and came to him. But Zimmerman was in the car on the streets and houses have been combined, making it virtually impossible to see behind the houses, said Blow. Also, if Zimmerman turned back to his car, where family members say he did, it would be inside, before they can begin the fight.

"People, this is not rocket science. This is what common sense. I'm not Perry Mason .... We need a jury," Blow Twitter.

Fitness Zimmerman was also a problem because the police band arrives at the station for questioning, do not seem to show a broken nose and injuries other than a lawyer, Craig Zimmerman Ring said his client sustained in battle.

Mr. Ring said the video "grainy" and his brother, Zimmermann insisted on CNN on Thursday that the details of health care Zimmermann.

However, drip, drip of revelation in the media continued Friday with a funeral director, who was involved in the body, Martin told CBS he has not seen injuries, fighting, anonymous source tells New York Daily News, that Zimmerman lost his job as a guard for the fact that too aggressive.

The police incident report tells a new narrative about what happened in the Trayvon Martin case between the teenager and shooter George Zimmerman. Where some see a rush to judgment against Zimmerman, others see a besieged police department justifying its investigation.


Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman first fist and threw it down, then sat on the captain's watch area fell and hit his head on the ground.

This is a story by Mr. Zimmerman of the argument on February 26, which ended when he shot Trayvon, according to the Orlando Sentinel, who received the police about the incident. Zimmerman told police that he lost his sight Trayvon and returned to his car when he encountered and attacked for 17 years.

How do these new details to change the nature of the case? In the end, at which point the story was framed at the expense of family Trayvon, which portrays him as a young man innocent Trayvon held private militia.

The police in Sanford, Florida, Zimmerman confirmed that Trayvon accused of confrontation and insist that he was a man, witnesses heard the call for help. Some witnesses maintain Zimmerman expense, according to unnamed sources quoted by local media.

"I think when the evidence comes out, it will show that George Zimmerman was acting in self-defense in this case," said Craig early, Zimmerman attorney, on Monday appearance on the NBC "Today" show.

Some commentators point to the history of the Zimmerman as evidence that the media rushed to blame the shooting.

"I said from day one, then rush to judgment, and I see in the media .... I think maybe now that more information came out, people might be a little more responsible," said the owner of Fox News Sean Hannity on his show.

Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the new expense of outrage that spread across America as a result of the police decision not to arrest Sanford Zimmerman for the shooting.

Zimmerman, of course, to get in the best light, claiming self-defense, in this view. Witnesses, who confirmed his story are still rare and anonymously. Other witnesses tell a different story - an unknown 16-year-old girl said she Trayvon called to say he was charged and tried to escape, for example.

Press leaks will not reduce the heat to the police Sanford, editor of Slate says Emily Bazelon piece on behalf of the police in the murder.

"The country has already fallen in love with Trayvon Martin. If the police want Sanford to convince us they were right, leaving him a murderous fire, they will have to prove it. They will have a hearing in open court, leaks are not anonymous," says Ms. Bazelon.

"CBS This Morning" on Tuesday, the family's lawyer, Martin, Ben Crump, said Sanford police prevents the national stage and are now trying a classic "blame the victim" response.

Mr. Crump has accused local law enforcement agencies trying to "fix" the stories of witnesses whose memories are different from the stories Zimmerman agreed actions in self-defense.

Crump added that the most important data in case of a strip 911 that Zimmerman did not listen when the operator said he did not have to go out of their car and spend a teenager hood, it is considered suspicious.

"The only thing that has the February 26, George Zimmerman, and obeyed the police entered his car and went to hunt Trayvon Martin, to cause death of the meeting," said family lawyer Martin.

Trayvon Martin Case: in The U.S. Could lead to Hate Crimes Charges, George Zimmermann

The Justice Department could bring a hate crime charge against George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin if there is sufficient evidence the slaying was motivated by racial bias.

 U.S. Department of Justice may charge a hate crime against the shooter in the murder of black teenager in Florida Trayvon Martin, if there is sufficient evidence that the murder was motivated by racial prejudice, and not just a battle control spiral, lawyers and former prosecutors say.

So far only one such area code publicly against Zimmerman 28 years, George, captain of the Neighbourhood Watch, who shot Martin 17 to February 26 in central Florida city of Sanford. In one of his 911 to the police that night, Zimmerman muttered something that some listeners sounds like an insult to say racist. Zimmerman's father white and mother is Spanish.

"It seems pretty clear to me," said Donald Tibbs, Drexel University law professor, who carefully studied the race, civil rights and criminal procedure. "If it was a racial epithet, which preceded the attack on Trayvon Martin, of course, we have a hate crime."

Others say that the picture is not clear enough to determine that said Zimmerman. And many experts say should be more evidence that he harbored racial bias against black and went to Martin for this reason alone. Previously, he was in a complex theft committed by young black men, possibly suspicious Zimmerman room when he saw Martin.

"They have to show that this person because of race, to focus, religion, color, and so on," said David C. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor in Miami. "It's not that he was behind someone came down and in the confrontation, which may or may not be on this basis. "

Zimmerman's parents, in a letter to a local newspaper, was their son is not a racist, and the number of black residents of the neighborhood where Martin was shot only positive things to say about Zimmerman. Zimmerman is not charged with a crime, claiming self-defense under Florida's "stand on his" law, a person who is obliged to retreat, when the threat of serious bodily harm or death are removed. Martin says he was attacked while walking to his car, police said.

"It's not a racist," prosecutor Craig Ring talks about his client. "The incident, which was not a racist or a hate crime in any way."

"Standing on its" laws in force in about two dozen more states are under control. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, DN.Y., on Sunday sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to ask the federal investigation to determine the killings are not prosecuted because the laws are too burden on local governments.

His parents Martin and hundreds of supporters say Zimmerman should be immediately arrested and charged with the murder of a young man, but local police say that there is little evidence to refute his claim of self-defense. The jury will convene April 10 to consider the fact that government spending is second-degree murder or murder can accommodate.

Upon receipt of no-confidence vote of the commission, the police chief, Bill Lee announced last week he was temporarily stepping aside from his post. City Manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr., said that officials want the problem to be resolved fairly.
