Sybrina Fulton, the mother of slain 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday that the Stand-Your-Ground laws in Florida must be amended and reviewed.
Former NBA superstar Charles Barkley said that he agrees with the not guilty verdict handed out to George Zimmerman last week, but blasted the media for giving platform for racists to "vent" their ignorance.
