Looks like the media will have some explaining to do and a fair jury may be impossible to find now.
Way to go NBC!

Zimmerman WAS attacked? Doctors say 'Yes'.
Looks like the latests evidence release shows Mr Zimmerman was attacked the night he shot Trayvon Martin . It appears he had a fractured nose and black eyes, as well as cuts to the back of his head according to the attending physicians. I suspect this will lend great weight to his self defence argument.

Hate crime in Florida?
A shocking murder in the suburb turned slum of Newton, in Sarasota Fla., two British tourists we shot dead by 'gangsta' hoods. Why? Apparently because of the colour of their skin and the accents they spoke with. These poor drunken tourists were killed for daring to enter the territory with the wrong complexion.
It seems the DA is not concerned with that, and is treating the killing as a 'robbery gone wrong' or 'gang crime' (despite the victims TOTAL lack of affiliation with local criminal gangs).
This position stands in sharp contrast to hate laws being enforced against crimes committed against minority and homosexual victims.
Does hate crime cut only one way?
Is racism and bigotry considered some defect only apparent in 'white' or 'homophobic' criminals?
Is there a dangerous double standard being applied in these cases of 'hate'?
Do unarmed white, foreign, or tourist victims not count?
Judge for yourself after reading the article on the UK's Daily Mail below.

And contrast that with the Presidential attention paid to the tragic shooting of an unarmed 17 year old young black man, Trayvon Martin, in Lakeland, Fla on FOXNEWS.

ADDENDUM 3/26/12:
Just as I predicted the 'hate crime' charges loom over the shooting death of young Trayvon Martin. Nothing on the dead British tourists killed because of their ethnicity.
