What went wrong behind the scenes in the Trayvon Martin
case? Why does America endure so many tragic shootings like
this one? These are the questions at the heart of
Suspicion Nation.
Bestselling author, trial
attorney, and NBC News analyst Lisa Bloom covered the murder
trial and was appalled by what she witnessed. Bloom now
exposes the injustice, conducting new in-depth interviews
with key trial participants and digging deeper into the
evidence. Suspicion Nation outlines the six biggest
mistakes made by the state of Florida that guaranteed it
would lose this “winnable case,” and the laws and biases
that created the conditions for this tragedy.
The
only nonwhite juror tells her story of painful isolation in
the jury room. Rachel Jeantel, the state's star witness,
reveals how poorly the state prepared her to testify and
what went through her mind on the stand. The medical
examiner reveals scientific evidence he wasn’t allowed to
present. And a new examination of Trayvon's school
suspensions raises questions about racial profiling, all in
a country divided over issues of race, gun laws, and
violence.
Suspicion Nation is a riveting
courtroom drama that shines a bright light on a case we only
thought we knew.
