MSNBC was covering the Trayvon Martin case Thursday afternoon when they made a split-second error of airing Trayvon Martin’s body shortly after his altercation with George Zimmerman. Although it was very, very brief, a Gawker viewer caught the image and submitted it to Gawker, and the site published it. It is very graphic, and we certainly regret the fact that this image was every published, and we apologize in advance if this offends you. Find the photo in the gallery.
Before you view the image, please consider its meaning and purpose. MSNBC made a grave mistake in publishing this, so if you are feeling sensitive towards the case, do not look at this photo. What are your thoughts on MSNBC’s mistake?
