The accused killed Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old, in Sanford, Florida February 26, 2012. The case was discussed in the world because Zimmerman, an American of Hispanic descent, was accused of racial crime of Martin, who was black. When George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin, the young man had on him a packet of sweets.
Jamie Foxx, who played a former slave Django Unchained, the spaghetti western history of Quentin Tarantino is upset by this decision. As a father, the star feels a lot of empathy for the pain felt at the loss of a child. "Above all, I was disappointed like everyone else, he told Extra at Comic Con in San Diego. I had trouble because I have a personal relationship with his mother and father. "
Thousands of people across America protested against the decision of the court to release George Zimmerman when his acquittal was announced on July 13. Jamie Foxx is amazed that race relations are still subject to debate. "[The mother of Trayvon Martin, Sybrina Fulton] has never been a matter of race, he said. She only said, 'My 17 year old son could be your 17 year old son. " Something that the world could understand. "
Jamie Foxx think people should remain" smart "and" peaceful "in the way they express their frustration over the situation and it does not support the race riots. Beyonce and Jay-Z joined the mother of Trayvon Martin and the Reverend Al Sharpton on Saturday in an event in New York. During the event, Ms. Fulton said clearly that it would not stop demanding justice for Trayvon. "I promise to protect your children, she told the crowd. Today was my son. Tomorrow it could be yours. "
Like Jamie Foxx, numerous stars have expressed their incomprehension before the verdict, including Rihanna.
