Marchers in Sanford demanding Angela Corey's resignation after George Zimmerman verdict

SANFORD — After a six-day march from Jacksonville, roughly 50 protesters spent Saturday in Sanford, calling attention to what they say is an unjust verdict in the George Zimmerman trial and a racially based criminal-justice system.

The diverse group of protesters came from across the South, upset with the July 13 not-guilty verdict in Zimmerman's trial and about the outcome of a different case in North Florida — a black woman in Jacksonville who was sent to prison for a shooting that injured no one.

State Attorney Angela Corey's Jacksonville-based office handled both cases.

Zimmerman, the Sanford Neighborhood Watch volunteer, was found not guilty in the murder of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old teen from South Florida, a finding that set off protests across the country.
