SUSPICION NATION-Atty Lisa Bloom Explores the Injustices for Trayvon Martin

It's 2 years since the outrageous verdict permitting the murderer of Trayvon Martin to walk free.  Ms. Bloom, author & legal analyst for major news networks presents cogent arguments of why the prosecutors failed to convince a jury to convict Zimmerman.  Furthermore, Ms. Bloom does not shy away from the racial biases permeating our nation that faill to protect, promote or provide justice for Americans of color.  Sadly, Martin's killing is not an isolated incident.  On the contrary, there has been a massive increase in "justifiable homicides" where black victims have been shot by whites.  Bloom's examination of the fact's in this case not put forth to the jury are shocking.  "In a series of missteps, this very winnable case was lost."  It is evident in Bloom's book how justice was not served. The senseless death of Trayvon and unseemly failure in our justice system cries out for changes & redemption.  SUSPICION NATION addresses the travesty of why these catastrophies continue to occur.  "To prevent future tragedies, we need a new, unflinching look at the uncomfortable issue of race, staring down the buried biases of a nation that so often determine whom we deem suspicious and why."  Bloom's brave & intelligent look at systemic failings in our country heralds reforms abolishing racism & violence and upholds the value of human life.
