>>No. I want him to get a not guilty verdict.<<

You may be forgetting the fact that if the case is thrown out before trial on a “stand your ground” self-defense basis, Trayvon’s family can't come after everyone in sight for monetary damages like what happened to OJ after he was acquitted.

Besides that, a trial will take many months and a gazillion dollars. Why should Zimmerman have to put his life on hold and go through all that when the state has admitted that they have no evidence to refute Z’s claim that Trayvon jumped him and started the fight?

I would certainly not mind the case being thrown out on the stand your ground basis. I did not realize in FL this means the family cannot bring a civil suit.

I guess what I meant was I wanted him clearly exonerated and if that meant going through a trial, I’d rather have the trial.

I really do not see how the family would want a trial considering everything they do not want the public to know about their gangster burglar thug son would come out in open court. And be reported on.
