HUNDREDS RALLY IN NYC FOR TRAYVON

MARTIN

Hundreds of people gathered in New Yorks Union Square Sunday afternoon toprotest the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who was exonerated by a jury Saturdaynight of all criminal charges in connection with the shooting death of unarmedteenager Trayvon Martin last year in Sanford, Fla.

The diverse crowd came together to speak out against what they overwhelmingly sawas a miscarriage of justice in the Zimmerman case, while calling for action andchanges to the criminal-justice system and racial understanding in the U.S.

The rally, organized by a grassroots coalition of civil-rights groups, ordinary citizensand political leaders, was an opportunity for people upset about the outcome of thetrial to express their views and plan for the future.

The event, featuring two separate protests, remained peaceful throughout theafternoon despite the high tensions over the verdict, in clear defiance of vocalobservers, police officials and politicians who had predicted widespread violent

protests in the event Zimmerman were acquitted. The central protest featured a lineup of prominent civil-rights leaders and politicians

who spoke effusively about the need to organize in the wake of the trial to improvethe state of American race relations and their intersection with the nations legalsystem.

FEDS LOOK TO CHARGE ZIMMERMAN

The U.S. Justice of Department is now investigating the shooting death of TrayvonMartin meaning, if slapped with federal charges, George Zimmerman could facejail time even after his not guilty verdict.

The DOJ issued a statement Sunday revealing they are looking into the case,evaluating the evidence (including testimony from the State trial) and willdetermine whether or not federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights chargesagainst Zimmerman.

Heres why its important Zimmerman was found not guilty on Saturday of bothsecond-degree murder and manslaughter when tried by the State of Florida and istechnically a free man.

But since the news broke civil-rights activists have been up in arms, like AlSharpton and the NAACP who are clamoring for the DOJ to bring civil rights chargesagainst Zimmerman.

If the Feds decide to go through with new criminal charges then a jail sentence isback on the table.

Although, according to legal experts, it will be an uphill battle to prove in court thatZimmerman was motivated solely by race.

MARK OMARA: IF GEORGE ZIMMERMAN WERE

BLACK VIDEO

In the hours following the George Zimmerman trial verdict being released, both the defense andprosecuting attorneys answered questions about the trial and their reactions to the jurys decision.

As expected the defense team had some questionable things to say, especially attorney Mark OMara.

Although being advised to leave race out of this entire ordeal, O Mara remarked that if his client wereblack, he never wouldve been charged with a crime.

He continues:

It seems as though what happened was an event that was being looked into by the Sanford Police

Department, and quite honestly, as we now know, looked into quite well. I have taken advantage ofpolice departments who have not gone a good investigation of crimes because thats what I do for aliving. When I looked into Sanford Police Department investigation they had done quite a good job.

OMara adds:

This became a focus for a civil rights event which again is a wonderful event to have. But theydecided that George Zimmerman would the person who they were to blame and use as a creation of acivil rights violation, none of which was borne out by the facts. The facts that night was not borne outthat he acted in a racial way. His history is a non racist.

VERDICT

The White House released a statement on Sunday afternoon fromPOTUS in response to the jurys decision. Read it in full below: Thedeath of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or forany one community, but for America. I know this case has elicitedstrong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know thosepassions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws,and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the callfor calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And aswe do, we should ask ourselves if were doing all we can to widen thecircle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. Weshould ask ourselves if were doing all we can to stem the tide of gunviolence that claims too many lives across this country on a dailybasis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, howwe can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, thats a job forall of us. Thats the way to honor Trayvon Martin.
