The media is interested in a story, not in justice. It seems that they always have to have some sort of murder case to harp on incessantly. For a change, this one doesn't involve an attractive white girl who has murdered or been murdered (Jon Benet Ramsey, Natalie Holloway, Jody Arias, Amanda Knox ....) and does touch on issues of broader social import (Stand Your Ground, racial profiling, over-reliance of firearms for personal security). However, it still remains a local story IMHO, and coverage should be limited to central Florida. I don't know what happened that night in Sanford and really don't care.
