Professor Chin Comments on Trayvon Martin Case for Huffington Post
Professor Gabriel "Jack" Chin commented for the Huffington Post on the upcoming trial of George Zimmerman, who is accused of second-degree murder in the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, which drew intense media scrutiny and prompted nationwide protests.
"We have to worry about his ability to get a fair trial," said Professor Chin. "There is a risk that he's convicted based on media impressions and popular sentiments rather than evidence."
