Cher is one of many celebrities who are calling for police to arrest a Florida man accused of murdering an unarmed teenager last month.
17 year old black teenager Trayvon Martin was shot to death in a gated community on 26 February after self-
proclaimed "neighbourhood watch captain" George Zimmerman alerted police to the boy's "suspicious" behaviour.
During the 911 call, Zimmerman told the police dispatcher that the teenage boy, who
was carrying an iced-tea drink and a pack of 'Skittles', was "just walking around looking about". He began to pursue the unarmed boy against the explicit instructions of the officer and allegedly gunned him down.
