Tweeted by her son Robert Zimmerman, she calls today the anniversary of “the day the justice system failed us as Americans.”

From the Huffington Post:

April 11 2012 will be forever remembered by the Zimmerman family as the day the justice system failedus as Americans, and as a consequence an innocent man was arrested for a crime he did not commit,solely to placate the masses.
