Come on Smoot. The media plays a big part in how people react to things. When this first hit the scene there were clear agendas. Editing the tape to make it look like a racial killing. Portraying Martin as if he was some innocent kid just merely going to store for skittles and even reporting incorrect facts in the case. Should we blame the people that believe mass media? I guess that's a valid point too.

As much as I'm being kinda hypocrite keeping up with it now, I really wish in all court cases where the stakes are life (or stakes just as high like rape cases) there could be a ban on news coverage of trials. I agree there should be public scrutiny of trials, maybe have the proceedings kept private and show them on Court TV or equivalent after the trial.
