Overview


* After a Florida grand jury in July 2013 acquitted George Zimmerman—the “white Hispanic” man who had shot and killed a black teenager named Trayvon Martin in a highly publicized 2012 incident—Madonna joined a number of celebrities in boycotting the state of Florida to protest its “stand-your-ground” law.

But notably, it did not factor at all into the jury’s verdict vis à vis Zimmerman.
