Thoughts and Reaction

Steven: I felt that the justice system was very Bias on this court case. Seeing that the court had all of the evidence against Zimmerman and he still was able to be proven innocent makes me upset. Also the fact that Trayvon was a young innocent African American male walking home and being shot with out even having a weapon on him is crazy.
