George Zimmerman found not guilty of murder in Trayvon Martin's death

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.

I love that one and you.
I wish there were a way for Mark O’ Mara to see it.

[onyx]

LOL.
I hope her head exploded tonight.
Was she on TV?

[DeaconRed]

Seminole County Sheriff and Sanford Police Chief who were fired. . .
Don was not fired (The Sheriff) He is styill our Sheriff. Yes I live in Seminole County. . .
Yes the jury got it right this time. Much better than Orange County (Casey Anthony)

My faith in the American justice system is restored.

The system is perverted - God Bless the 6 jurors and his defense team.

[Guenevere]

I join you, enough is enough.....I’m sick of the bottom feeders in our state.

Praying for Zimmerman and his family.

You better but for yet another reason. Turn on c-spam right now and listen to black person after black person complaining about mexicons who are coming here illegally and taking their jobs. One black caller even commented hey you white guys this is the first time I have ever agreed with you! The illegal mexicons have to go! Just hard to imagine. All of a sudden the blacks are our friends!

Republican Governor Rick Scott assigned Republican Angela Corey the job of prosecuting George Zimmerman

Angela Corey was elected in 2008 to her present position.

[kindred]

It was a just verdict and a shame that so many people can not see it for their blind bigotry and hatred of those who are conservative. The left of our country is assaulting the right consistently and now the long knives of democrats are out for sure and their general is obamanation.

BTTT your every word. As a Floridian I have plenty to say and do to see that further justice is done! The fact that Angela Cory and Pam Bondi were responsible for not allowing facts to be brought before a Grand Jury needs to be addressed.

THAT is an outrage and must be addressed!

I hope you are able to provide the addresses so we can write to the proper authorities to file complaints about the firing of the IT man (whistle blower) and also the firing of the former Sanford Police Chief like you noted.

Thanks so much, dearest Jeannie!

I wish he could too.....but the state still wants its pound of flesh for his wife, Shellie.
She's next.

In a nutshell, when this all hit the fan over a year ago, and George and his family were shell shocked and scrambling money together to hire an attorney....

..people started donating funds to the Zimmermans.

...at a hearing, Shellie did not disclose the recently added funds & they charged her with perjury.---and, I believe, they confiscated the money as she feared.

I don't think George can go anywhere until this is cleared up.

Dang, I missed that segment on C-SPAN!

[rodguy911]

I gotta tell ya it was priceless to see and hear black man after black man come on c-span and complain about the injustice against blacks perpetuated by white liberals!! several callers, black businessmen, complained that while their competitors, illegal mexicons, got business loans from the banks they couldn't.
It was priceless and you could hear in their voices the blacks leaning on conservative whites for justice since they knew they would get nothing form the liberals. What a seat change onyx!
Maybe it is all about jobs after all.

The only fact[s] the State got out was that there was a altercation between George Zimmerman and Travon Martin. The remainder was perjured testimony.

Seminole County Sheriff and Sanford Police Chief who were fired. . .
Don was not fired (The Sheriff) He is still our Sheriff. Yes I live in Seminole County. . .

Thank you for correcting me! And I apologize to ALL who read my previous post for my mistake and confusion!

The Seminole County Sheriff was NOT fired. The info I received was wrong on that and I apologize for spreading information that was not true!

As for the former Sanford Police Chief, Chief Bill Lee, see this:

"[Zimmerman] was the only living person who witnessed the entire incident, and there wasn't much physical evidence for either team to fall back on."

How about a broken nose, and cuts on the back of Zimmerman's head? The portrayers of 12 year old angelic little Trayvon can't explain these, so they simply pretend they didn't exist. The race baiters live on, and master baiters, they are.

The racist supporters of Trayvon have never given a scenario for the event that explains the Zimmerman injuries. At first they used grainy videos to assert that there were no injuries. When finally proof of the injuries was impossible to ignore, they simply then claimed that the injuries weren't "life threatening". Tell that to someone who is exposed to a "ground and pound" shellacking on a cement sidewalk. The Zimmerman injuries are proof of self defense, so they are ignored by the race baiting media.

About 20 new riot messages every 30 seconds on just one channel.

It is a felony to incite riot. I'm sure Eric Holder will prosecute every one of those.

We can begin at the top....and contact Governor Rick Scott!

Contact information here:

Phone calls would help a great deal, asking for an investigation of the actions of State Attorney, Angela Cory.
One might be asked for a Florida zip code, so be prepared to supply.
Emails also helpful.
