Florida State Attorney Behind Trayvon Martin Case Defeated

HeadlineAug 31, 2016

Florida State Attorney Angela Corey was also defeated. Corey had faced widespread criticism for her handling of several prominent cases, including the killing of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin by white neighborhood watch vigilante George Zimmerman and the case of Marissa Alexander, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing what she maintains was a warning shot at her abusive husband. We’ll have more on the primaries later in the broadcast with Jim Dean of Democracy for America.
