Cenk talks to NAACP Legal Defense Fund senior Counsel Vincent Southerland and Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher about reactions to the George Zimmerman verdict and what happens next. “Clearly this case calls out and cries out for further investigation by the federal government to ensure that there are no civil rights violations,” Southerland says. Christopher, like Cenk himself, is less optimistic that the case should be tried in a federal court, but points out that there may be a case for racial profiling, made by Zimmerman’s own defense. “O’Mara said it,” Christopher reminds the panel. “He said this kid looked just like these other young black kids who had been suspected of crimes… and that’s why George Zimmerman was suspecting him.”
