'''George Zimmerman''' is an Hispanic who had long worked as a volunteer to patrol his gated neighborhood in [[Florida]], which had been subjected to a series of crimes. One rainy evening in March 2012, Zimmerman encountered an African American youth wearing a hoody. After some kind of confrontation, the youth was killed from the firing of Zimmerman's gun, which he had a permit to carry.

After a media sensation that included distortions of the facts, George Zimmerman was subsequently charged with second-degree murder after being denied the protection of a [[grand jury]], despite his claim that he acted in [[self defense]].<ref>http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2012/0409/No-grand-jury-What-does-that-mean-for-George-Zimmerman</ref> In the analogous case of Bernhard Goetz, the protection of a grand jury was important when the first grand jury declined to [[indictment|indict]] on the biggest charges.
