Everyone remembers the outstanding outrage that was caused by the killing of Trayvon Martin. The only thing that people knew was that a black teenager with only a bag of skittles and can of arizona in his pocket got gunned down by a man who found him suspicious. This was a tragedy in itself to know a life so young got taken due to a misconception of suspicious. There is the clear opinion that people believe that George Zimmerman was a racist and killed Trayvon simply because he is black but not everyone has that opinion.
In the article Trayvon Martin wasn’t a case of racial profiling by Mark NeJame, a previous criminal attorney of 30 years, he does not think that Trayvon Martin’s killing came from racial hatred but from the misconception that citizen have to take the law into their own hands. He believes that is what is wrong with this case. He thinks it should be more focused on the fact that George Zimmerman took matters into his own hands even when being asked not to do so. NeJame expresses in the article that he does not agree with racial profiling and that if he felt the case was about that he would have no obstructions to George Zimmerman going to jail with that name on his back.
In the article Why George Zimmerman should not be 'crucified' for killing Trayvon Martin by Kyle Scott, a opinion writer for the Christian Science Monitor, states that he does not think that George Zimmerman should have be condemned guilty without knowing any of the evidence and having anything to backup what the people think happened. They believe that the law should determine whether he is guilty or not because no one really knows what happened that night and its hard for people from the outside to determine that.
