Episode 73 - TRAYVON! The Verdict, The Law, & The People's Perspective

Tonight on ... For the People... law in plain language & Debra D. Rainey, Esq.   TRAYVON! The Verdict, The Law, & The People's Perspective Florida's 'STAND YOUR GROUND LAW', Racial Implications & More!   SPECIAL GUESTS:  James Berardinelli, Esq., a former Prosecutor/DA and self-described Moderate Conservative,  weighing on VERDICT; David Love, Esq.,  a community organizer, editor, human rights advocate, journalist, legal advocate, legislative staff person, and executive director; Gary Broderick, from the Point Breeze Section of Philadelphia's Organizing Committee, and who is committed to equitable development that does not displace long-term residents.  Mary Pitts ~ Guest Co-host Mary,  is a former DHS Social Worker bringing the social service perspective. Your FTP Fam, devoured, dissected and at times got outright opinionated while discussing the verdict in the case.  We also discussed the racial implications of George Zimmerman's actions and Florida State's Stand Your Ground Law.  Our listeners chimed in via comments on Face Book, the text-line and calls to the studio.  Ignoring racism and prejudices by refusing to admit the two are still alive and breathing is both naive and does damage to our collective efforts to garner racial and ethnic tolerance.  What do you think?
