    The people vs George Zimmerman

    We’re back! This case was the beginning of the BLM movement and this trial only happened because of the people. On February 26, 2016 Trayvon Benjamin Martin was shot and killed minutes away from his current place of residence by George Zimmerman. Because of Florida’s weird law “stand your ground,” George Zimmerman would not have ever had any charges against him. It was only because of the marches filled with thousands and Attorney Benjamin Crump. The actual trial blows my mind, like how ...

Amazing!!

It’s really quite amazing how Rachel is able to break down how complex these legal cases are in a way that everyone can understand follow along. It’s such a unique perspective to true crime because she doesn’t talk about the investigation, media headlines etc. she only discusses what happened during the trial. So you’re hearing what the jury heard and nothing more. Makes you understand verdicts a little bit better. Love how she also explains the law and legal process.
