The Jury probably could not convict him because there was no evidence to show what really happened and as distasteful as it was to them decided to go by the standard of reasonable doubt.

Yep.

Zimmerman is only 29 as he gets older and farther away in age to 17 he will realize the enormity of what he did. Anyone that goes around saying a tragic killing is God's will when it was precipitated by their own actions seems to me to be sort of socio-pathic.
Sometimes the things we tell others, we're really only trying to convince ourselves. Passing it off on God is a way of disassociating oneself. People used to blame it on the Devil, but we caught on to that with that "Son of Sam" idiot back in '75. However, it's true that the one thing you can never escape, or fool, is your own conscience.................assuming he has one. Some people apparently don't.
