The verdict just came in.
The verdict just came in.
Amazing stupidity by the prosecution. Zimmerman should have been charged with a lesser charge from the beginning. 2nd degree murder was ridiculous.
There was reasonable doubt. Something many seem to be forgetting. And frankly, I would rather see a guilty man go free than an innocent man go to prison. Do I think Zimmerman is guilty? I don't know. Why? Because there is enough conflicting evidence here. Case closed.
Zimmerman = Not Guilty
