A sad day in the US when prosecutions are now based on mob outcries not the rule of law or facts, and not just in some rural backwater. And if the mob is not big enough send in some DOJ thugs to agitate. Justice is devolving into something seen in ancient Rome where the rabble scream for someone to be tossed to the lions.
The fact that the mob has no legal grounds to exact their revenge upon Zimmerman only means that they'll resort to taking 'justice' into their own hands.
GZ will be a marked man for the rest of his days. He may not be going to a concrete prison, but his life from this point forward will be a prison itself. His only hope for real freedom, is to one day slip quietly out of the country and relocate to a place where no one knows him.
I'm not even sure that's possible, given today's interconnected world.
