What are the political implications of the Zimmerman trial?

Why are so many people posing questions about this trial on the politics board?

It seems to me this is more a legal issue than a political one.

It became political when Fox News solicited funding for the Zimmerman defense team...and blamed the victim for wearing a hoodie in the rain, claiming that hoodies equal "deviant". Only, their "news" station still sold hoodies in their store, so they had to get rid of all of their own hoodies so that no one would think that fox "news" was supporting "deviant" clothing.

Lib media made it political when they called Zimmerman white, edited his 9/11 tape to make it racist, and published pictures of a smiling 10 year old Tray-Dawg.

They started, I am forced to respond in kind.
