Trayvon Martin's parents are working on a book about the killing of their son and the trial and acquittal in Florida of George Zimmerman, publishers say. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin met with publishers to discuss the book, the New York Times reported Friday. Publishing executives said the couple talked about the role of race in the killing and religion in their lives.

Trayvon was 17 and walking to a relative's house when he encountered Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. The teenager was unarmed but Zimmerman's attorneys argued he jumped Zimmerman, who fired in self-defense.

Jan Miller, Fulton's and Martin's literary agent, joined the couple for the meetings, the executives told the Times.

While little attention was paid to the shooting immediately after Trayvon was killed in February 2012, the news media began covering it when his family questioned the police decision to release Zimmerman without charges. Zimmerman's trial this year received national and international attention.

When does the "Kill Zimmerman" video game come out?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Will it be written at 4th grade reading level?

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Hopefully, the book isn't about effective parenting !!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Included on the back page: A recipe to make purple drank! (Codeine cough syrup, sprite, and Skittles)

[Georgia Girl 2]

The title is “Too Bad We Didn’t Parent Trayvon Properly”.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Effective parents would have missed their child within hours , not 2 days later

[House Atreides]

Please, NOBODY buy this book of fiction when it comes out.

[humblegunner]

Bet it won’t be in cursive.

[EEGator]

It will be in crayon with the Rs backwards.

[a fool in paradise]

Colored?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Gotta keep those bucks rolling in. Never let a good “crisis” go to waste.

[Wordkraft]

Crayons included at no extra charge!

[a fool in paradise]

It could become a lucrative racket. Think of all of the inner city schools and public libraries that would stock it for the children.

50 states. Thousands of districts. Ka-ching.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Will it have those popup 3D pictures?

[BenLurkin]

BTTT

[equaviator]

Instead of writing a book together, why don’t they just get married and have another little Trayvon together?

[a fool in paradise]

Will it be written at 4th grade reading level?

It WON'T be written in cursive, that's for sure.

[Pollster1]

A book on this lowlife predator?

[Cicero]

Required reading in every grade of public school, under threat of getting fired for racism.

[a fool in paradise]

Beat me to it.
