530: Boston Brakes

Jesse Jackson, MSNBC Coverage of Zimmerman Verdict

Reverend Jesse Jackson criticizes the George Zimmerman verdict on MSNBC, calling it a miscarriage of justice and questioning the lack of black men on the jury. The hosts analyze Jackson's comments regarding a "jury of peers" and contrast his outrage with the perspective of Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris. Burris suggests the prosecution's own witnesses inadvertently strengthened the defense's case.
