I think the overarching theme is that in this case points out the perception that black children are not as worth much as white children. I really believe if Martin were white he would be alive now, or if he had been shot Zimmerman would have been behind bars. You have to remember that I think the police did not let Mr. Martin even see his son's body for well over 24 hours (if this is the case where that took place)...

and there has been some feeling that the investigation and evidence collection was shoddy

It is the perception that law enforcement does things different to different people...a white child from one of the wealthy of elites of Sanford would have gotten a red carpet treatment from the police i.e. a much better investigation. I believe that, In fact you could say the prosecution was hampered by that and sort of proves my point.
