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.

// 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. //
Exactly. Pros claiming otw at this point is brazen & self-servingly cya.
Glad to be of service. There were enough lies told and untruths and misquotes I could not let that one go. Don Eslinger (probably miss spelted) Is a good conservative Sheriff for Seminole County. He is one of the good guys.
When the verdict was read, the clerk just said "not guilty.".But he was facing multiple charges..don't they always announce each charge, and then verdict on that particular count of the indictment?
“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.”
Like criminal charges along with serious civil trials against these left wing monsters.
Then disbarment re the lawyers who lied and had their witnesses lie, and the judge who allowed this bs.
“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.”
Maybe one day the white female bitch doctor who said GZ’s injuries were not serious will get the same injuries. Then she will see how serious they were.
How often in life, are innocent people killed or seriously injured for life with a single blow to their skull?
How much money did this lying pos get for making her mal practice statement to the jury?
Whistleblower? Can you provide a link? I missed this part.
bump to the top
That should ring home with many black Americans who we find more and more being released from prison after many years because they were found wrongly convicted... let's get justice right in America - whatever the cost.
I certainly agree!
They have broken out in Oakland. Police not arresting people who are smashing windows.
*With* built-in 3D TV's!!!
George Zimmerman acted in self-defense. Do not allow the Department of Justice to pursue additional civil rights charges against him. Sign the petition here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/do-not-allow-department-justice-prosecute-george-zimmerman-civil-rights-charges/5xP1PjpF.
Somone needs to point out that the black community is being used as a tool to meet the left's agenda. It is NOT about racism. Racism is just the match to light the fires because the left is loosing moral ground daily.
Thank you.
I understand an issue with leaks, but where there are common legal obligations to disclose there’s no excuse for failing to.
Trolling for a list, n00bie?
I almost never post anything online, so I guess I don’t understand your point. However, I feel strongly about this cause, which is why I’m doing the best I can to put my voice out there.
