George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the murder of Trayvon Martin, and we look at the case specifics that worked in his favor, from the prosecution to the defense, to Rachel Jeantel and how the Sanford police department steered the outcome. We also discuss the social reaction to the case and how Trayvon Martin's family have handled it and if everything possible was done by the prosecution to put on the best case possible. Defense Attorney Mike Cavalluzzi hosts former prosecutor Loni Coombs on this episode of Crime Time.
