Summary Excerpt Details

1. NBC Network :
According to an April 5, 2012, article in the International Business Times, NBC left out some of the dispatcher’s questions so that Zimmerman’s 911 call proclaimed, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black." After a public outcry, NBC apologized for what they called an error in the production process.
