Simple as that.
other people = Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson.

When those two show up the media follows. You're right, without them being there Trayvon Martin's family would have forever felt like they were screwed over by the authorities.

If nothing else, Sharpton and Jackson got GZ brought to trial and maybe even a conviction.
Nothing will be a replacement for losing their son, but at least it's something.

On the flip side of the coin...the "race" card was brought into play so heavily during that time that if GZ gets set free, there will be violence.
