I agree that it was just a plot device, which is why I really don't think Waid should have even gone there. Why take a chance at all of creating a problematic distraction in your story over a plot point that really doesn't seem to be that important overall?

Well, b/c he's using the Sons of the Serpent as his baddies. That type of case is pretty much exactly what they're all about. And obviously it would be the type of case they could most easily use to manipulate/supercharge mob mentality. I thought it worked fine.

Oh I'm fine with having that type of case being used in this story, I do realize why the overall plot needed it. I just don't think he needed to make the case so close to such a controversial real life case if the story didn't require it.

I seem to remember Waid getting pretty angry about Zimmerman being found not guilty on Twitter, so he obviously took this case to heart, like a lot of people.

with a headline like "A Great Example of How Superhero Comics Tackle Real Life Tragedy", I thought it was going to be about Foggy's cancer instead.
