Several protests were held in cities across America when a jury in Sanford, Florida, found George Zimmerman not guilty of the murder of Tay von Martin, a black teenager. Mr Zimmerman, who headed a neighbourhood watch, had followed the youth one February night last year. The pair got into a fight and Mr Zimmerman claimed he shot Mr Martin in self defence. The jury agreed, also declining to find him guilty of manslaughter in the controversial case.
