PBS News Hour had a brief overview of the case followed by an interesting panel discussion: "Ta-Nehisi Coates, a senior editor for The Atlantic, Reihan Salam, a columnist for The Daily, a newspaper for the iPad, and lead writer of The Agenda blog at National Review Online. Donna Britt is the author of the book "Brothers & Me," which is in part about the shooting death of her brother by police in Gary, Ind. She's a former syndicated columnist for The Washington Post. And Florida state Rep. Dennis Baxley is a Republican legislator who co-authored that state's so-called Stand Your Ground law."
