increase in these shootings since this law has been in effect. there was a comment by president jimmy carter when he was asked in a local atlanta tv interview about the zimmerman case. i want to play what he had to say when asked specifically about the zimmerman verdict. i think that the jury made the right decision based on the evidence presented because the prosecution inadvertently set the standard so high that the jury had to be convinced that it was a deliberate act by zimmerman, that he was not at all defending himself and so forth. it s not a moral question, it was a legal question. reverend jackson, i imagine that you consider president carter an ally on a lot of these issues. allies can reasonably disagree. i think the prosecution tried to avoid the issue of race, three white male prosecutors, an
or another and there s a potential civil suit and also he s polarizing. so i think for one reason or another he issued a written statement now. i m told they are prepared when asked with an answer. we don t know what that answer is but i think he thought he was going to be asked about this when he was interviewed by some latino journalists but he wasn t asked. he was ready to give an answer but none of those four journalists asked him a question, which was obviously surprising to me. listen to jimmy carter and hillary clinton, who may be a future president of the united states. reacting. not been shy in i think the jury made the right decision based on the evidence presented because the prosecution inadvertently set the standard so high that the jury had to be convinced that it was a deliberate act by zimmerman, that he was not at all defending himself.
