Trayvon Martin verdict: Racism, hate crimes prosecution, and other overreactions. - Slate Magazine

Trayvon Martin verdict: Racism, hate crimes prosecution, and other overreactions. - Slate Magazine: "I almost joined the frenzy. Yesterday I was going to write that Zimmerman pursued Martin against police instructions and illustrated the perils of racial profiling. But I hadn’t followed the case in detail. So I sat down and watched the closing arguments: nearly seven hours of video in which the prosecution and defense went point by point through the evidence as it had been hashed out at the trial. Based on what I learned from the videos, I did some further reading.
It turned out I had been wrong about many things."
