I truly hope that they are able to convene an impartial jury for Zimmerman. Everyone deserves and is entitled to a fair trial. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I would not be able to be impartial, though. Trayvon Martin reminds me too much of many of my own high school students, who are subjected to racial profiling on a daily basis, and this case makes me fear for them even more than I did before. Whether we have all the facts or not, I have unfortunately already made up my mind about Zimmerman's actions and intent.
