Arthur Weinreb’s book, ‘Racism and the Death of Trayvon Martin’: Legal Insights into the Trial of George Zimmerman’, recently released by Smashwords Copyright 2013, is the literary answer to a new mural entitled ‘We are all Trayvon Martin’ unveiled inside Florida’s Capitol in Tallahassee over the weekend.
‘We are all Trayvon Martin’ features a man shooting a hooded figure in the back of the head. “At 10 feet long, there’s also room for the bleeding visage of Martin Luther King Jr. and the words “we are all Trayvon Martin” in multiple languages,” writes Robert Laurie in his column.
Weinreb argues far more eloquently and convincingly in his book that we could all be George Zimmerman, accused of media-hyped racism in a tragedy that has nothing to do with racism.
A Not Guilty verdict notwithstanding, Zimmerman will spend the rest of his days looking over his shoulder. His is a story that never ends. Ditto for Weinreb’s ‘Racism and the Death of Trayvon Martin’. Reading the book teaches us that what happened to Zimmerman will happen again. And again and again.
Indeed, Weinreb’s concise and well-written ‘Racism and the Death of Trayvon Martin’ could be described as What Happened, What Didn’t Happen and What Happens Now.
Currently writing for Decoded Science and Digital Journal, Weinreb is the Associate Editor for Canada Free Press (CFP).
Arthur Weinreb, who co-authored The Criminal Lawyers’ Guide to Citizenship and Immigration Law (Canada Law Book, 1996), was called to the bar of Ontario, Canada, and has practiced mainly in the areas of immigration and criminal law.
It would take a legal mind to unravel the media bunk and red herrings piled on in what some referred to as ‘The Trial of the Century’ with Zimmerman, forced into a Florida courtroom after being charged six weeks after the shooting, and owning a legal mind is how the author of ‘Racism and the Death of Trayvon Martin’ once made his living.
Readers will find no long, boring trial lawyer dissertations here, but only Weinreb’s succinct writing style, one that finds you not only finishing the 11-chapter definitive book, but keeping it near at hand for future reference.
Its Chapter Five ‘Florida’s Stand Your Ground and Law of Self Defense’ is a must-read in these days of the Obama administration’s threatened gun laws.
There have been few media references to the true story of Rodney Scott, ‘The Black George Zimmerman’ since the trial, but no one tells the Scott story more compellingly than Arthur Weinreb.
‘Racism and the Death of Trayvon Martin’ takes you out of the courtroom and into the ongoing sagas of possible Civil Action by the Martin Family and Zimmerman’s law suit against NBC.
Proving how true life is so often stranger than fiction, Weinreb’s ‘Racism and the Death of Trayvon Martin’ will hold you right up until the last sentence.
CFP cannot help but be proud that in the media race to write the Trayvon Martin trial into history, Arthur Weinreb got their first.
