Outside of that the media has done a bang up job.
I get that "the media" has spread to succomb to bias but if a judge-and-jury can't overcome initial reports from 24-hour news networks then there isn't much of a justice system to protect.

If not for "the media" there never would have been a trial anyway, nor any scrutiny of StandYourGround laws, ALEC, or racial expectations.
