"A Legal Matter": A Playlist for The Zimmerman Jury

Robert Frost once noted, "A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer." The jury in the trial of George Zimmerman consists of six woman, and this playlist goes out to these sequestered Americans as they try to make sense of this case.

Robert Frost once noted, "A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer." The jury in the trial of George Zimmerman consists of six woman, and this playlist goes out to these sequestered Americans as they try to make sense of this case that too many -- including possibly me now -- have exploited for entertainment. Here's hoping the Zimmerman jury deliberates wisely in this legal matter, and in the end there is something like justice for Trayvon Martin and for all. As always, please join this jury and add your own songs below.
