The jury. The deliberation process is now in its second day and six women will decide the fate of George Zimmerman. They are tasked with making the ultimate decision over whether George Zimmerman is guilty of seconddegree murder or manslaughter, or if he is to be acquitted in the shooting death of 17yearold Trayvon Martin, to which he has pled not guilty.

Right. New calls for the justice in the investigation of Michael Browns death. Authorities in ferguson, missouri decided earlier today not to reveal the name of the officer who shot and killed the unarmed teenager on saturday. Due to threats received on social media, nbcs john yang interviewed the ferguson chief of police earlier today. It went out over social media that the officer involved was michael white. It was not. Michael white was not involved in this incident at all. However Death Threats started to come in right away across the country and based on that and that is one reason why officer safety is a reason that we can delay and we think its prudent that we do that.
