7:44Now PlayingProtests were held across the country this weekend after a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty on charges of seconddegree murder and manslaughter for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watchman, shot Martin the night of February 26th, 2012 in a gated community in Sanford, Florida, as the unarmed AfricanAmerican teen walked back to his father's house after buying candy at a nearby store. A police report filed that night noted there was "no indication that Trayvon Martin was involved in any criminal activity at the time of the encounter." We air voices of the protesters who marched in New York City, where thousands gathered in Union Square and then marched for hours, through Times Square and up into Harlem.
