The state failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The correct verdict was made.

That is the way our judicial system works.

I agree the correct verdict was made.

Now take away the verdict, do you think justice was served?

There wasnt enough evidence to prove he wasnt using self defense. Regardless, he should have never went after the kid in the first place. Fails all around.

I agree, a ton of mistakes made across the board. Trayvon should not have came back after him either since he has lost him. Both of them escalated the situation much farther than they should have and bad things happened. The correct verdict was made because here was reasonable doubt, but neither party was innocent.

If they would have went after manslaughter it may have been a different verdict.

But what if Zimmerman's account of the events was accurate? He was the designated neighborhood watchman (not a cop), but it is not illegal to follow somebody you believe is up to no good, he had a CC permit, he was not legally bound to follow a 911 dispatcher's direction, and what if Martin attacked him?

Martin did attack him, that's why he got off, self defense.

This.

And this.


Those are my thoughts.

1) He got as fair of trial as anyone else would have gotten. To say it fails is just ignorant. It's the lawyer's job to convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt one way or another and the state/prosecution did not do that. Doesn't matter one bit what anyone else besides that jury thinks about which side made their case better.


2) Mexican shoots black man, White people get blamed. Makes perfect sense!


3) Obama saying that could have been him 20 years ago. WOW. That could be enough content for it's own seperate thread there.
