Network and cable news television are devoting significant airtime to covering the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial. The jury was reported to be deliberating on a verdict Friday afternoon.
Fox News will devote the entire hour of Hannity — which last year scored the only television interview with Zimmerman — to the case and will feature a live studio audience. The network’s legal analysts Lis Wiehl, Peter Johnson and Mercedes Colwin will be on hand to dissect the case.
