The way the media has handled this case has been despicable. I don't know how any red flags didn't go off when tabloids had more misleading images of a young 14 year old Martin as a defenceless victim as opposed to his 17 year old self. And yet people fed into this media constructed image of a saintlike baby-faced Martin. Hell even the president fell for it by delivering one of the more embarrassing comments a US president has ever made. The most obvious red flag however, was how the media tried to construe this into some sort of race issue. There is no race issue here, if Zimmerman was black he wouldn't have been found guilty.
