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.

This case was nothing but a political case.
Wow!
Jaw dropping headline.
Praying for Zimmermann and his family.
My sentiments exactly To be perfectly honest, I didn’t hold our much hope for justice... I pray we can all put this behind us. It was a tragedy for all concerned. I hope God helps Travon Martin’s parents to find peace.

They had their chance, and the jury took the actual evidence and pushed back against the race pimping government busy bodies wanting to hang a person for defending themselves...
Remember the governor of that state pushed it passed the grand jury who saw this incident for what it was...
Phony bitch Angela Corey.
Lock and Load
Stick a thumb in Bammys eye.
Now onto those lawsuits. I hope all the media have been saving their pennies.
Hopefully NBC has to pay him about $50 million and he can live a long life of wealth, taste and leisure.
(Except for the Zimmerman legal bills on a case that should have never been filed to begin with)
Isn’t it great to be wrong?!
