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.

Trayvon Martin case: a Vote of no Confidence in Police Chief Sanford

Trayvon Martin case: a Vote of no Confidence in Police Chief Sanford: In the tense meeting on Wednesday that underscored growing tensions on the set of Dea

h an unarmed black teenager, local officials in Sanford, Florida, passed a vote of no confidence in the police chief as protests spread to the north of New York, where the parents took the young man was killed in March in Manhattan require arrest the murderer.

Measurement of no confidence has increased from 3 to 2, after more than an hour discussion, and if it is not necessary, as a result of the public and the groans and applause punctuated the debate highlighted by exciting the wrath of Orlando suburb for about a month after a 17 - year Trayvon Martin died on 26 February. Much of this anger is directed at the fact that the killer has confessed, 28 years old, George Zimmerman, who was described as Latino, and white, was not arrested.

Dozens of residents gathered in Sanford Sanford City Hall, where the City Commission, Mark McCarthy set the tone for the meeting, acknowledging that he called for the overthrow of the Chief of Police Bill Lee 10 days ago at a meeting with the head of the city, Norton N. Bonaparte Jr.

"I take no pleasure from the public flogging of our police chief. This is a good man," said McCarthy.

But McCarthy said the issues surrounding the case, and negative publicity thrown on the town after the murder, were largely the result of improper handling of the investigation. Questions, he said, include whether the police were too quick to accept the claim that Zimmerman fired in self-defense, despite the fact that Martin was not armed and that witnesses described hearing someone calling for help before the shot was heard .

A lawyer representing the family, Martin, Benjamin Crump, said the teenager was on a cell phone with his girlfriend and was concerned, he was followed by a strange man in the last seconds before it is slaughtered. And the two women who live near shooting scene said that Martin was lying face down, with Zimmerman hanging over him after he was shot.

"If it was self-defense, why does he [Zimmerman] on the back Trayvon?" One witness, Mary Cutcher, told CNN, in an interview.

City commissioners Patty Mahany and Randy Jones opposed the motion of censure, saying the city should await the outcome of the grand jury investigation is scheduled for April 10, and the Department of Justice investigations. "It's fast decision in a situation which will not," said Mahany, a call vote of no confidence in the "reflex".

Only the city administration, Bonaparte, Lee can be done, or to demand his resignation, and he gave no indication he was considering it. But as speaker after speaker, black and white, took the microphone to ask why Zimmerman was not arrested, it became clear that Napoleon faced with pressure showed no signs of abating.

The Reverend Al Sharpton is connected to a rally in Sanford on Thursday, and the city planned for hundreds or even thousands of people at a special meeting Monday night to focus on the case.

Union Square in Manhattan, hundreds of people marched in memory of teen killed in the alleged March Hoodie million on Wednesday, including the parents of Martin. Martin was wearing a hoodie, when he was killed while walking to a shop, where he bought some sweets and drinks.

"We will not stop until we get justice," said the father of a teenager, Tracy Martin, thanking the crowd in New York, who chanted "We want to arrest," according to The Associated Press.

"My son did not deserve to die," the mother of a teenager, Sybrina Fulton, told the crowd, reports AP. «My heart is in pain, but also to see the support from everyone who is actually a difference."

More than a dozen people spoke at the meeting of Sanford, the vast majority of black residents complain that the Police Department was quick to stop the black, leaving gaps for the accused of similar crimes in the wild. Several speakers reported arbitrary arrests and harassment by the police.

"I was born and raised in Sanford, and I have had this problem many times," said Robin Riggins, a black woman.

The resident, however, ruled in favor of Lee, saying that the case should be allowed to "go his own way."

"There are two sides to every story," said a resident, a white man who said he lived in Sanford for decades. "We can not rush to judgment and CEO Lee will be responsible for any What happens if we find in the investigation, he did his job."

He noted that Lee was on the job only 10 months.

Previous leader was forced to resign after a protest at the beating of black man in downtown Sanford white man, who is the son of a policeman. The police did not arrest a person, even if the beating was captured on video.
