Trayvon juror speaks out
One of the jurors who found George Zimmerman not guilty of the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin has said she had "no doubt" he feared for his life in his struggle with the unarmed black teenager.
Obama won't influence potential Zimmerman charges
US President Barack Obama will not involve himself in the Justice Department's decision on whether to pursue charges against George Zimmerman.
The department said in a statement on Sunday that it was considering whether Zimmerman may have violated any civil rights laws, and whether to pursue a conviction after he was acquitted in a state trial.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said it would be inappropriate for Obama to express an opinion on how the department deals with the case.
