WATCH VIDEO: Trayvon Martin Trial Outcome Protest in NYC Not even the scorching sun and oppressive July heat could stop demonstrators from gathering in New York City to protest George Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The protest was organized by Occupy Wall Street just hours after the jury handed down the verdict. While some, like Valerie Greene, were surprised by the verdict, "I think it's an absolute appalling travesty of justice. I'm shocked." Valerie Greene Others like Anyah Jones were not, "I wasn't surprised I know where we live, this is the country we live in. This is the country we've always lived in. I feel like the trial was for show." Anyah Jones Demonstrators met in Union Square at 6pm to share their frustration over the case and to demand justice for Trayvon.
