...he also praised the President's remarks on the case.

From the article:

"No one I know of has said this case is flawed or corrupt, or that there's anything wrong with the system of justice," McCain told Candy Crowley on CNN's Face the Nation. "I can also see that the stand your ground law may be something that needs to be reviewed by the Florida Legislature or any other Legislature. But to somehow condemn the verdict, you would have show me where the jury was corrupted."

(...)

"I am confident that the members of the Arizona Legislature will, because it's very controversial legislation," he said.

McCain also praised President Barack Obama's speech about Trayvon Martin and the racial profiling that black men regularly face. While many have called Obama's speech "divisive" for emphasizing issues of race, McCain thought the remarks were appropriate.

"Events like this highlight and emphasize that we have a long way to go," McCain said. "The president very appropriately highlighted a lot of that yesterday, as only the president can."

If anything needs to be "reviewed" it's the Sanford PD, they let the best evidence disappear when they neglected to let forensics investigate the scene immediately. Their conclusions could have gone miles to either back up or refute Georgie's claims. I wonder if anyone has looked at the phone records for daddy Zimmerman
