CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: What's interesting here is that we saw every minute of the trial. There was nothing secret, there was nothing hidden. So, for all of those who want to make this into a racial incident, an example of racial prejudice, answer this: where was the racial taint in those hours and hours of that trial? Where was the bias? And what par

BILL KRISTOL: You really can't get in the game of having the NAACP or any other group saying, "This guy should be prosecuted" or "This guy should be convicted." It's just a recipe for destroying the rule of law honestly.

RACHEL JEANTEL, FRIEND OF TRAYVON: Well, the jury, they see their facts. My thoughts of the jury, they old, that's old school people. We in a new school, our generation, my generation. So -- PIERS MORGAN: Let's talk about 'creepy ass cracka.' People have said that that is a phrase used by black people, cracka, to describe a white person. Is that

MICHAEL ERIC DYSON: When the people who rig the definition and the litmus test have a bias to begin with, it's not going to be proof positive for you when you come along testing whether race or bias exists. We don't have to impugn Mr. O'Mara's character and integrity to say that what you are talking about is on Mars and we're on Venus because of th

In exclusive AC360 interview with juror B37, she says she thinks the voice in the 911 call was Zimmerman's. "I think George Zimmerman is a man whose heart was in the right place, but just got displaced by the vandalism in the neighborhoods and wanting to catch these people so badly that he went above and beyond what he really should have done. B

RACHEL JEANTEL: "People need to understand, he didn't want that creepy ass cracka going to his father or girlfriend's house to go get -- mind you, his little brother is there. Mind you I told you, I told Trayvon, [Zimmerman] might have been a rapist."

FOX News media analyst Howard Kurtz looks at how the Zimmerman trial spawned sweeping statements on race and violence in the media.

MARTIN BASHIR: If he had been black, Zimmerman would not have been charged with a crime? Can you control your own laughter at that statement? REP. CHARLES RANGEL (D-NY): No, I think it's possible if the police had got a black Zimmerman, the question would be whether they would have beat him to death and then threw handcuffs on him and dragged hi

From Attorney General Eric Holder's prepared remarks to the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority convention: HOLDER: Of course, as this celebration unfolds, we are also mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida last year – and the state trial that reached i

Special prosecutor Angela Corey sat down with Headline News to discuss the verdict returned against George Zimmerman.

QUESTION: The White House doesn’t often put out statements from the President on trials that don't directly involve the government. Why did the President decide to put out the statement yesterday on the Zimmerman trial? JAY CARNEY: The verdict, obviously, was fairly big news and it was something that was being watched nationally, and the Pre

KARL ROVE: Well, this was a tragic death of a young man. We have now had a long court case that riveted the country. And I hope that this is the end. President Obama politicized this at the beginning, I believe, unfortunately, by injecting himself into it, saying that if--that Trayvon Martin would have--if he'd had a son, he would have looked li

TOURE: These are messages that black parents have been giving to their sons for decades now. The messages that I got when I was a young man about the world is looking for you to do something wrong and, you know, what Obama talked about in his first autobiography, making no sudden moves. Mollifying all of those around you will go a long way to help

DAN ABRAMS: And I want to hear from the jurors, by the way, in this case, because we don't know just based on what we've heard now, whether these jurors believe George Zimmerman or not. TAVIS SMILEY: Well, what we do know, Dan, though, at least as it appears to me, you can stand your ground, unless you're a black man. ABRAMS: Well, look, we d

BILL KRISTOL: No, I'm glad that Karl has moved so far away from the Senate bill. His organization has spent a fair amount of money promoting it and defending senators who voted for it. But I think the House should pass separate bills. I still have a problem to go to conference with the Senate bill, which I think is fundamentally misguided. So, I'

MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY: As adults, we will talk among ourselves about last night's verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. But as we look forward, we're also going to have to grapple with what we're going to say to our children. Because what we must not forget is that Trayvon Martin was not an adult, he was the child of Sybrina Fulton and Tracey Ma

THOMAS ROBERTS: And while we talk about these laws, don't we need to do a lot more about our social contract with each other in this country when it comes to being "others"? Because as we look at this, we can use this as a great pivot point to talk about race relations in this country. But being an "other," whether it's LGBT because you're then
