Alicia Stanley, Trayvon Martin‘s stepmother, sat down last night for an emotional interview withAnderson Cooper. Stanley opened up about the 14 years she spent raising Martin with his father and how it’s been hard for her to watch George Zimmerman‘s trial and hear all the things people have been saying about the night that her son died. She told Cooper that while she is convinced of Zimmerman’s guilt, she does not personally believe that he picked her son out because he was black.

i agree with he didn't pick him out because he was black i like her believe he picked out Trayvon with a stereotypical mindset, then the gravy after following and identifying him as Black for sure.

i also think her statement is ripe for defensive spin, she should have talked with lawyer before giving that interview.

She told Cooper about her relationship with Martin’s father and how he stopped speaking to her at one point.  

is this a women scorn inserting herself  did she ask parents permission oop's forgot he stopped speaking to her,

In the second part of the interview, Cooper asked Stanley if she thinks race was a factor in how Zimmerman singled out Martin. She said she did not believe that was the case.

“No, I really don’t think it was Zimmerman don’t like black people, or he picked him out because he was black. Did he profile him with the hoodie and stuff like that as this thug, whatever, walking, in Zimmerman’s mind? Yes, but to say that he targeted him because he was black? No, I don’t–I don’t think so.”

She became emotional again when talking about losing a child she raised for most of his life, and described how painful it was to not be able to sit in the front row at Martin’s funeral. She told Cooper that it would be “heartbreaking” and “unbelievable” if ZImmerman is found not guilty.

if she raised Trayvon for 14 years and is dismissed as not important enough in his life to get front row status, what did she do, and how reliable is she, is this payback for the frozen shoulder?
