wha do we what? justice! when do we want it? now! that is video of protests that you and i were both watching yesterday. not huge protests. maybe a few dozen outside the courthouse in sanford, florida. people are passionate about this case from the very start. we re seeing that passion continue through the wait for the verdict. solutely. from the very first words of the opening statements, attorneys on both sides of this case have stoked anger and have assigned blame. latest comment to raise eyebrows comes from outside the courtroom. listen to what zimmerman defense attorney mark o mara has said about the attorney representing the family of trayvon martin. do you think that george zimmerman would have even been charged, had ben crump not been
