George Zimmerman is not guilty of the murder of Trayvon Martin, a Florida jury decided late Saturday.

The fact that Zimmerman fired the bullet that killed Martin was never in question, but the verdict means the six-person jury had reasonable doubt that the shooting amounted to a criminal act.

The verdict caps a case that has inflamed passions for well over a year, much of it focused on race and gun rights.

The six-person jury -- all women -- basically had three choices: to find Zimmerman guilty of second-degree murder; to find him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter; or to find him not guilty.

The jurors deliberated for 16½ hours total, including 13 on Saturday alone, before delivering its verdict.

And, may George Zimmerman sue the pants of the lamestream media, the DOJ, and all those associated with his false arrest. I want to see him become wealthy from this ordeal that he has suffered. Its only right!

He won’t wont have to worry about security after he owns NBC.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Yes.

So much for those mysogynists on this forum who insisted that women would not be able to see through all the falsehoods from the prosecution! In the end, they weighed all the facts and delivered a correct verdict.

Now we must pray for their safety in light of the hate- mongering true racists who were falsely accusing Zimmerman of profiling Martin

[fortheDeclaration]

Praise God!

"Director of NAACP just said he is outraged and will pursue Civil Rights charges against George Zimmerman with Obama’s Justice Department!"

That won't happen, because Zimmerman wasn't working for the government. And he's been found not guilty. The case against Zimmerman was a joke on those who hate him and all who are perceived to be like him in any way.

So the Director was being ignorant or worse. All who harbor anti-Hispanic, racist hatred against Zimmerman are weak and helpless. They'll just have to internalize their hatred and take it out on themselves. There's nothing that they can do except maybe go on hunger strikes or immolate themselves. They'll just have to keep their madness behind their closed doors and be sad in isolation.

Guess what Nancy: there was nothing either “shocking” or “stunning” about the verdict. So go home and take your makeup off.(eeeuuuu)

You can thank Scott for letting this farce go on. The prick was afraid of riots so he allowed this farce, and the result was that the us gov sent money and people to riot. Holder is getting the new black pussies their riot checks right now, and Boehner will never defund even one of these programs. As a matter of fact, he will allow almost all of this bs spending.

I am SO HAPPY! I have been through a similar MESS! Not quite as serious, since it was a Civil Contempt, but to this very day I have to put up with liberal trash and character attacks, even though I won, as well!

It is truly humbling and heartening to know that there are still some Americans out there across this once great country, who understand and appreciate the vital importance and priceless value of this Grand Experiment, which is predicated on Divine Providence and based on the Rule of Law.

Praise God!

“Hopefully NBC has to pay him about $50 million and he can live a long life of wealth, taste and leisure.”

Cable rates are going to go up!

O’Mara just told the press that they judged GZ before all facts were known!

I thought the prosecutors acted irresponsible after the verdict....the were not gracious in defeat......IMHO very unprofessional.
