Florida Gov. Rick Scott: We shouldn't turn Zimmerman verdict into politics
Fox News ^ | 7/15/2013 | Stuart Varney (interview)

VARNEY: Now, back in March of 2012, right after the event, the president made a statement -- went in front of the cameras and made a statement about the Trayvon Martin case -- and right after the verdict was delivered, he made another statement which I will quote from in a moment.

But, first, do you think that the president inserted himself into the judicial system? Because that has been the subject of some criticism.

SCOTT: Sure. I don't know if he did or didn't. What I just think about is, I think about the family, I think about the fact we have a jury system and I'm appreciative of that. Those six women jurors, that was a tough trial. They deliberated. It's hard. Angela Corey, a very tough prosecutor.

VARNEY: She is being criticized heavily.

SCOTT: But she is a tough prosecutor, one of the toughest in the nation.

VARNEY: Did she overcharge?

SCOTT: Oh, I don't know, but she's a tough prosecutor.
