The NAACP Legal Defense Fund has said it will push for a civil rights case against George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the fatal shooting of black teen Trayvon Martin.

Robert Zimmerman, Jr., tells NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday that it will be a "long time" before his brother is able to return to a normal life.

George Zimmerman's verdict is in, but public opinion continues to play out. Some prayed or protested, while others felt justice had been served by Zimmerman's acquittal in the fatal shooting of black teen Trayvon Martin.

Saturday night's acquittal of George Zimmerman is reigniting conversations that began with the 2012 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case has sparked debates on race, profiling and Stand Your Ground laws.

The trial of George Zimmerman has not only made news; it has also made for must-see TV. These days, cameras inside the courtroom routinely make stars out judges, lawyers and witnesses. But is that a good thing? Host Jacki Lyden talks to the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, Marcia Clark, about cameras in the courtroom.

The six jurors, all women, were handed the case on Friday after three weeks of testimony and 50 witnesses.

In closing, lawyers for the self-styled neighborhood watch volunteer accused in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin say it's clear their client acted in self-defense during the 2012 confrontation.

The defense is expected to finish its closing argument on Friday. Then, Judge Debra Nelson will instruct the jurors on what they are to consider as they weigh whether George Zimmerman acted in self defense or should be sent to prison for the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

As the trial for the man accused in the death of Trayvon Martin wraps up, the prosecution and defense argued over the instructions to the jury.

As the high-profile trial of the man accused in the death of Trayvon Martin nears its end, race hasn't been talked about in the courtroom. But the issue is running through the case, legal experts tell NPR.
