Remember, a finding of innocence due to unclear evidence at some point doesn't necessarily mean he is not guilty. It just means he can't be convicted.

The guy we let go when I served on jury duty was guilty as hell and everyone in the courtroom knew it. We just couldn't convict him because of that one little shadow of a doubt.

Zimmerman stalked and killed Treyvon Martin. The young man had done absolutely nothing to warrant being followed in the first place. Nothing.

The system didn't punish him, but the people will. For a long, long time.

Perhaps so, but I find the show trial spectacle based upon the media/special interests deliberately injecting their proxy issues highly distasteful. The whole thing was a sorry media spectacle and I refuse to give in to them trying to manipulate me by pulling the right strings with their 24/7 coverage.

If it happened in my community, I'd care and be interested. It didn't and I'm not.
