Why would that story get press coverage? Those guys are probably going away for a long time and everyone knows that.
But that's precisely the point. Zimmerman, on the other hand, will get absolutely nothing. And trayvon's crime? Just like Lyon, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Travon was not killed just because he was black, but that is what the media would like you to think. He was killed because he was roaming around looking like a thug in a neighborhood he did not belong in and when confronted he got into a fight which went bad for him. If when he was asked what he is doing in the neighborhood by Mr Zimmerman and he had been dressed in non gang looking clothing (No hoodie) if he was a nice kid and just replied "Sir I am not from here and I was just looking for a short cut to walk to the store, please let me know if this is not the direction I need to be walking" he would probably be alive today. AGAIN this is not justification for killing someone but this does not happen to nice normal kids (non gang related or just wanting to dress like they are in a gang) He was a smart ass thug who got into more than he bargained for. I am sorry he got killed but this should be a lesson for other young black males on what not to do. Act like a nice productive citizen instead of a thug and your chances of making something of yourself are tremendously increased.
