Even after the jury reaches its verdict in the George Zimmerman trial, there will still be a lot of wounds left from the trial, the families of both Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, and the nation's conversation about race.

We'll have some answers soon. But what about closure? I had a chance to speak with Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon Martin's family, about race and candid moments in the trial, which he largely watched from outside the courtroom. Crump was not allowed inside during testimony because he was on the witness list, but he never made it to the stand.

In my interview with Crump, I had to start off with the obvious question: "Who made this about race? Was it you, the media or civil rights activists?"

"It was the defense team representing Zimmerman who brought up race in the case," Crump said. "I honestly believe nobody knows whether George Zimmerman did this for whatever reason, but what we do know is that he profiled Trayvon Martin."

I also asked Crump about what's been said on social media and how polarizing the case has been for the entire country. Crump said everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the effect it all has had on the Martin family is still taking its toll.

During closing arguments, Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, had to walk out of the courtroom as pictures of her son's autopsy were shown to the jury.

"I went with her," said Crump, who was allowed back inside the courtroom for closing arguments. "We went in the room, and she let her emotions come out in a private room. I was there and gave her a moment to grieve. Then she prayed, and then she looked at me and she said, 'Attorney Crump, we're going to be OK.'"

With so many emotions in this case -- public and private -- I asked Crump what toll this has taken on him, as a person.

"It affected me as a person who cares for justice. It affected me as a lawyer. It affected me as black man with sons," he said. "So, when I think about a person who cares for justice in our society, we have to send a responsible message out, and we have to send a message out that you cannot act on assumptions about an unarmed teenager and not be held accountable."

I asked Crump if his clients would be able to have closure once the trial is over. His response: Their son is never coming back.
