Mediaboss Marketing

By Daren Butler and Humeyra Pamuk

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish police raided media outlets close to a U.S.-based Muslim cleric on Sunday and detained 24 people including top executives and ex-police chiefs in operations against what President Tayyip Erdogan calls a terrorist network conspiring to topple him.

The raids on Zaman daily and Samanyolu television marked an escalation of Erdogan's battle with ex-ally Fetullah Gulen, with whom he has been in open conflict since a graft investigation targeting Erdogan's inner circle emerged a year ago.

In scenes broadcast live on Turkish TV channels, top-selling Zaman's editor-in-chief Ekrem Dumanli smiled and studied police documents before being led through the newspaper's headquarters to applause from staff crowded onto balconies

"Let those who have committed a crime be scared," he said before police struggled to escort him through the crowds to a waiting car. "We are not scared."

Several hundred people chanted "The free press cannot be silenced" and "Turkey is proud of you".

TERRORISM CHARGES

Istanbul Chief Prosecutor Hadi Salihoglu said in a statement arrest warrants had been issued for 31 people on charges of "establishing a terrorist group", forgery and slander.

In raids across EU-candidate Turkey, 24 people have been detained, including two former police chiefs, state broadcaster TRT Haber said. Also detained were Samanyolu's chairman and the staff of two Samanyolu drama series, one about an anti-terrorism squad and the other set in a southeast hit by Kurdish rebellion.

"This is a shameful sight for Turkey," chairman Hidayet Karaca said before his arrest. "Sadly in 21st Century Turkey this is the treatment they dish out to a media group with tens of television and radio stations, internet media and magazines."

15 months ago George Zimmerman shot and killed unarmed 19 year old Trayvon Martin in a gated community in Florida. The case gained national and global attention raising debate about race, gun use, and violence. Today the juror selection has begun for the Trial of Zimmerman that is expected to last a month. If Zimmerman is convicted of second degree murder he faces life behind bars. But how will the six jurors be picked? Experts are already saying that it is going to be exceptionally difficult

In an interview with ABC, one of the six unnamed jurors on the George Zimmerman trial said she thought George Zimmerman "got away with murder" when he was acquitted for his role in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. This juror's account of the trial differ greatly from earlier interviews with a different juror.

George Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Trayvon Martin, who was 17, last year. He plead not guilty, claiming that he was acting in self-defense. Jury selection took several weeks, and the trial will begin next Monday. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder.

The George Zimmerman trial is now with the jury and, with it, the case against the Neighborhood Watchman currently facing second-degree murder charges after fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen, is almost at its end. Jurors have been given detailed instructions in considering whether to convict Zimmerman of either second-degree murder or the lesser included charge of manslaughter.

The six jurors and four alternates eventually picked to hear the second-degree murder case of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman will be sequestered for the two to four weeks the trial will last.

A juror in the George Zimmerman trial says she feels the man who killed Trayvon Martin got away with murder. George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you cant get away from God. And at the end of the day, hes going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with, Juror B29 told ABC, according to an article posted on the networks website Thursday. (But) the law couldnt prove it.

A jury of six women, five of them white and the other a minority, was picked Thursday to decide the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who says he fatally shot Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in self-defense.

One of the jurors in the Trayvon Martin murder trial told ABC she felt guilty for acquitting Zimmerman but said Florida law left her no choice.

The only minority on the jury that found George Zimmerman not guilty for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin sat for an exclusive interview with Robin Roberts for Friday's "Good Morning America" and revealed very strong feelings about how the 29-year-old fared in his trial.

Prosecutors in the Florida murder trial of neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman will reveal a star witness for the first time on Tuesday, the girl Trayvon Martin was talking with in the last minutes of his life.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Their sons -- Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner -- have become symbols of a raging national conversation about police brutality and racial injustice.

The mothers of these four unarmed black men and boys felled by bullets or excessive police force have no doubt their sons would still be alive if they were white. No question, they say.

"I think absolutely my son's race and the color of his skin had a lot to do with why he was shot and killed," Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Friday. "In all of these cases, these victims were unarmed. These victims were African-American. That needs to be our conversation."

In their first interview together, Fulton was joined by Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden; Tamir's mother, Samaria Rice; and Garner's mother, Gwen Carr. They spoke of reliving the horrific final moments of their son's lives with each controversial death, of gaining strength from protesters and other supporters, of the importance of coming together to effect change.

"It seems our kids are getting younger and younger," Fulton said. "They're killing them younger and younger. There is no regard anymore for human life. There has to be somewhere where we draw the line and say, 'Listen, our kids want to grow up, too.'"

Carr said she had confidence in a federal investigation into whether her son's civil rights were violated. A Staten Island grand jury last week refused to indict a white police officer in the death of her son, was put in a fatal chokehold by the officer as he tried to arrest Garner for illegally selling cigarettes.

"If Eric Garner was a white man in Suffolk County doing the same thing that he was doing -- even if he would have been caught selling cigarettes that day -- they would have given him a summons and he wouldn't have lost his life that day," she said. "I believe that 100 percent."

Fulton's son was shot and killed in Florida in February 2012 by George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watch captain. The case quickly drew national attention as weeks went by without formal charges.

"We have to change mindsets," Fulton said. "We have to let people know that our children matter. Our sons and our daughters matter. We are hurting. This country is hurting."
