The race mongers are at it again...
'Law & Order SVU' is tackling racial profiling head on in an upcoming episode that winds together the controversial Trayvon Martin case and the Paula Deen scandal.
In the episode, Cybill Shepard plays Jolene Castille, a famous southern chef. But instead of making a racial slur, like Deen, she guns down an unarmed, hoodie-wearing black teen she thought was following her on the Upper West Side, mirroring the Trayvon Martin slaying.
According to TV Guide, Castille claims she killed the teen in an act of self-defense because she knew police were chasing a rapist of the same description.
The episode, which also stars Jeffery Tambor and Leslie Odom, Jr., will air in October.
On Wednesday, pictures emerged from the SVU set, sparking rumours the show was taking on the George Zimmerman trial.
And Executive Producer Warren Leight confirmed it to Entertainment Weekly.
'(Jeffrey) Tambor is a defense attorney representing a very high-profile celebrity woman chef who thought she was being pursued by a rapist and turned around it was a teenager. And she shot him,' he said.
Odom will play a minister of the slain child.
