PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 25, 2012 - 
Radio talk show host and veteran journalist Beverly Mahone gave North Carolina listeners an opportunity to hear first-hand what’s going on in Sanford, Florida with the case of Trayvon Martin.  Martin was the seventeen-year-old who was shot to death last month by a neighborhood watch captain named George Zimmerman.

Gail Paschall-Brown is one of the lead reporters covering the story for WESH-TV in Orlando.  Paschall-Brown shed light on how this story originally came to light and what’s going on in the community since Tayvon’s death.  Mahone says, “People everywhere want to know more about this case because there are still too many unanswered questions. Why would a grown man with a gun feel so threatened by an unarmed teenager?  What is the relationship between black residents there and the police? “ 

Mahone says the Trayvon Martin story is one many baby boomers can relate to because it could be their own son or grandson who was killed.  “The story is personal for me because I know how real this tragedy could be for my own grandson.”

The Boomer Beat radio show airs on Mondays at noon EST on WCOM Radio in North Carolina.  It was the one month anniversary since Trayvon was shot and killed.  You can listen to the recording at http://babyboomerbev.podomatic.com/entry/2012-03-26T13_47_32-07_00
