The way the law was written and the level of proof required FORCED Zimmerman to be acquitted! Several of the jury members admitted as much. And since only one person walked away, we have only heard half the story. It’s never old news when one person HUNTS down another.
Where have you been Steve?! They tried Zimmermann for murder / manslaughter and he was found innocent. Whether that was “fair” or “just” is no longer the issue anymore than it was or is in the OJ Simpson case to use another example.
The proof is for guilty and if GUILT cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, then the VERDICT is not guilty.Perfectly summed up. Nothing was proven & the only person who might have contradicted Zimmerman is dead. Florida’s idiotic law says that it is legal for an armed man to follow another, even if it ends in a mortal confrontation.Meanwhile, Zimmerman is turning into a bigger mess than Lindsay Lohan.
In the Martin case, Zimmerman was found “not guilty” based in intricacies required for conviction under Florida law not being met, for either murder or manslaughter in the degree presented to the jury. The jurors who did speak up stated they felt he WAS guilty of manslaughter at the minimum, but not according to FLORIDA technicalities in the law.
Zimmerman had a long history with police demonstrating he was “a nut” for lack of better “definition”. His behaviors showed a cowardly and abusive personality both before the Martin case, and since, with wife, father-in-law, and now “girl friend”.
Martin was indeed “stalked and killed”, period. Zimmerman could have done as the police advised, and backed off, but he didn’t. Zimmerman is 100% responsible for the outcome of that night.
Try to tell a cat to not stand it’s ground.Knowing a thing or two about cats, I’d say the only cats that ‘stand their ground’ against humans are basically psychotic. What does that have to do with Zimmerman?

Read the FULL 911 transcriptions, not the “edited for sensationalism” version.
