******The Cases******
The murder of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012, by admitted  
shooter George Zimmerman has captured national attention, with hundreds of ongoing  
protests throughout the U.S. demanding justice.  Zimmerman remains free, with  
investigations mounting by the FBI, Department of Justice, and local officials  
in Sanford, Florida.  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/21/us/justice-department-opens-inquiry-in-killing-of-trayvon-martin.html?scp=15&sq=trayvon%20martin%20shooting&st=cse

Shaima Alawadi, an Iraqi-American wife and mother of five, died days after being  
brutally attacked in her own home last month.  A hateful note was found beside  
her body after she was attacked, stating that she was a terrorist and should go  
home, leading many to consider her case a hate crime.  The FBI and El Cajon  
Police department in California are investigating her case.  http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/31/us-crime-iraqi-hate-idUSBRE82U0HK20120331
