President Obama addressed this case and incident, he started by saying this: “My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon. They are right to expect that all of us as Americans will take this with the seriousness it deserves.”
With the heightened attention of this case it seems as though people put more and more pressure on the jury and whatever the verdict may have been. Once the president was involved it became a national and global story. Therefore it seems with the decision to acquit Mr. Zimmerman, the judicial system lost a great deal of support while probably gaining just as much. I think it depends on your prior belief of the system and if it served it's sole purpose rightfully throughout this trial.
