You don't understand how jury system works.
Trial by a fair jury is the last resort of an incompetent lawyer. Any lawyer worth half his pay would never have allowed the issue to come to a trial, or failing that, would have nullified the trial by stacking the jury with people either by temperment known to be, or have been conditioned by purposed pre-trail publicity to be, likely to vote in his favor. Lawyers are not made renowned by uncovering the truth of guilt or innocence. They are made renowed by whether they convicted or gained acquital.
BTW, I think real crux of the Zimmermann Martin case has nothing to do with racism. Racism is just a canard that enables semi-skilled laywers use to stack the jury. The real crux is are you allowed to shoot someone dead for beating you up.
