Colin Powell, former Secretary of State and a retired four star general, said on Sunday morning that the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict will be seen as a "questionable judgment."

“I think that it will be seen as a questionable judgment on the part of the judicial system down there, but I don’t know if it will have staying power,” Powell said on CBS' Face the Nation.

“These cases come along, and they blaze across the midnight sky and then after a period of time, they’re forgotten," he added.
