Jury takes break for the night Trayvon Martin His death in 2012 triggered widespread protests.
By Evan S. Benn and David Ovalle The Miami Herald
each side exchanged words but not blows, and deputies reported no arrests. “If Zimmerman is convicted there should not be inappropriate celebrations because a young man lost his life,” the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., who pushed for Zimmerman’s arrest last year, said in a statement released Friday. “And if he is not convicted we should avoid violence because it will only lead to more tragedies. Self-destruction is not the road to reconstruction.” Zimmerman’s family also released a statement. “The judicial system has run its course, pray for justice, pray for peace, pray for our country,” it said. Zimmerman, 29, is charged with the February 2012 slaying of the teen, who was in Sanford visiting his father after he was suspended from Dr. Michael Krop High in North MiamiDade. His killing focused attention on Florida’s self-defense law, which critics say promoted vigilante justice, while prominent black civil rights leaders staged rallies for Zimmerman’s arrest. Sanford police initially
declined to arrest Zimmerman after he claimed self-defense and Gov. Rick Scott later appointed prosecutors from Jacksonville to investigate. Zimmerman was arrested 44 days later. The trial began June 10 as lawyers selected an all-female, six-person jury; of the jurors, five are white, one is Hispanic. More than 50 witnesses testified, including the mothers of both Martin and Zimmerman, each of whom said the voice crying for help on a neighbor’s 911 call belonged to her son. Prosecutors have sought to show Zimmerman as an overzealous neighborhood watchman who falsely assumed Martin was a criminal prowling the community. “A teenager is dead. He’s dead through no fault of his own,” prosecutor Bernardo de la Rionda told jurors in fiery closing arguments Thursday. On Friday, it was the defense’s turn, with Mark O’Mara providing a contrast in style. “Had Trayvon Martin been shot through the hip and survived, what do you think he would have been charged with? Aggravated battery, two counts?”

SANFORD, Fla. — Seventeen months after Trayvon Martin was shot dead — and after 24 days of trial and 3½ hours of deliberation — jurors retired Friday night without deciding whether George Zimmerman murdered the Miami Gardens teen. That means the closely watched saga — with supporters of both sides urging calm — will stretch out at least one more day as the six jurors resume deliberating at 7 a.m. MDT Saturday. Friday night’s jury deliberations became a cliffhanger in a trial that has captured worldwide attention, casting scrutiny on U.S. race relations and Florida’s much criticized selfdefense law. “There is no tension in Seminole County,” Sheriff Don Eslinger told reporters after the case went to the jury, as he urged zero tolerance for lawlessness. But there was at least some strain evident outside the Seminole criminal courthouse, where a spirited but mostly peaceful group of about 50 protestors, many African American, rallied throughout the afternoon. After court, as dozens lingered, a few supporters from

crowd got renewed energy. The new administration is moving quickly with its transition, in part to force the Brotherhood to accept it and to show that Egypt is pressing ahead toward democracy. At the same time, authorities are making allegations aimed at showing Morsi supporters are linked to violence and militancy. A number of Brotherhood leaders have arrest warrants issued against them. Morsi has been held in an undisclosed military facility since the coup. On Friday, the U.S. joined Germany in calling for his release. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States agrees with the German Foreign Ministry, which has urged an “end to all restrictive measures considering Morsi.” Five other Brotherhood leaders are also in detention on various charges, and 10 others — including Badie —have arrest warrants against them on accusations of inciting violence. Prosecutors said they will investigate allegations that Morsi and 30 others Brotherhood leaders escaped from prison in 2011 with help from the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
of regents, could triple Napolitano’s salary from $199,700 to around $600,000. She said she would stay on as secretary until early September. It is not clear whom Obama may be considering to replace her. “Janet’s portfolio has included some of the toughest challenges facing our country,” Obama said in a statement on Friday. [The American people] “are safer and more secure thanks to Janet’s leadership.” In California, she will succeed President Mark Yudof.
