Prosecution: 'George Zimmerman case never about race'

The prosecution in the case of Florida neighbourhood watchman George Zimmerman has given its reaction, after he was cleared of the murder of an unarmed black 17-year-old.

Lawyers for Mr Zimmerman, 29, argued he acted in self-defence and with justifiable use of deadly force.

Florida State's Attorney Angela Corey told reporters that the case was "never about race or the right to bear arms."
