Trayvon's Parents React Strongly to Letter From Zimmerman's Mother - On the anniversary of George Zimmerman’s arrest in the killing of Trayvon Martin, his mother posted a letter saying that the justice system wasn’t fair to her son. Benjamin Crump, Trayvon’s family lawyer, responded saying, “for the Zimmerman family to allege that the justice system doesn’t work simply because they are unhappy their son was arrested” is “disingenuous” and “disrespectful.”  (Photo: REUTERS/Mike Segar)
