Trayvon Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, did a series of interviews on Thursday, opening up publicly for the first time since George Zimmerman was acquitted in the death of their son. During an interview on "Anderson Cooper 360", they both expressed their shock at the verdict, and the justice system, in general. 

"When I heard the verdict, I kind of understand the disconnect," Fulton said, according to CNN. "Maybe they (jurors) didn’t see Trayvon as their son. They didn’t see Trayvon as a teenager. They didn’t see Trayvon as just a human being that was minding his own business."
