[quote]George Zimmerman is not guilty in Trayvon Martin's death.
That was the verdict just handed down by six Seminole County jurors, after several weeks of testimony and evidence in George Zimmerman's trial in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17.
Zimmerman, who says he fired in self-defense, had faced up to life in prison if convicted as charged. Instead, he will go free.
During the trial, jurors heard from an array of witnesses, including police, forensics experts and Zimmerman's neighbors at the Retreat at Twin Lakes, where he shot Trayvon amid a struggle minutes after reporting the teen to police as suspicious Feb. 26, 2012.
No one who testified saw how the fatal conflict between the Neighborhood Watch volunteer and the high school junior from Miami Gardens began.

And there will be no riots.
Welp here we go
Oh oh. You know what's probably gonna come next.
It's not surprising. If you read the definitions of manslaughter and 2nd degree murder, neither of those definitions fit the actions Zimmerman took.
Just like he should have been long ago.
I literally breathed a breath of relief for this guy, when they read none guilty.
This day is a victory for justice, and a defeat for sensationalist media
Justice System worked as I thought it would. There simply wasn't enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman was acting with hate in his heart. So he walks. Was expected.
Good. I was just telling my dad how he wasn't guilty. Glad to see this verdict.
Can't.
Simmer.
The.
Zimmer.
OH SHIT, CAN'T SIMMER THE ZIMMER!
all the black people are flipping their shit. the riots are coming
AND THE US JUSTICE SYSTEM HASNT FAILED US! So fucking happy Zimmerman's innocent.

A rare day, but a good day nonetheless.
Really glad for Zimmerman tho
He should go somewhere remote, like Alaska. It's the only place to be safe from the people that I'm sure want him dead.
He will probably have to spend the rest of his life in hiding
Fuck I missed the live verdict, I am very relived though

A cop on the police scanner just quietly said Not Guilty and nothing else
Not really surprised here, the prosecution was kinda getting destroyed.
YES! GLORIOUS ZIMMERMAN IS FREE!!

yes im sure every black person alive is currently fuming
Wow CNN just interviewed a kid + father outside the court
"I think they did the right thing - I mean he shoulda gone to jail"
Clearly the kid was being spoonfed by his father who brought him to the court
It was the knock knock joke that won it
He had very good lawyers. I expected the not guilty verdict.
i mean, if he's not guilty, he's not guilty lol
i don't see him being a serial killer
