Cenk talks to USC law professor Jody David Armour about the Trayvon Martin shooting. Citing the cases of Rodney King and Bernie Goetz — the vigilante acquitted after the 1986 shooting of four black youth who were running away from him in the New York City subway — Armour hypothesizes that a fear of black men in hoodies might be found a reasonable justification.
“The only question is, does the jury sympathize with the defendant?” Armour says. “If they feel sympathy and empathy with [George Zimmerman], they’ll acquit.”
