Zimmerman found NOT guilty!

Justice has been served.

If you were truly afraid someone was following you and you knew all you had on you was a pack of Skittles then why would you punch someone in the face and break his nose?

Just TC's 2 cents.

The testimony so far from the witnesses is not looking good for the prosecution, it was quite embarrassing. I think he'll walk. I couldnt help but chuckle after learning that Trayvon called Zimmerman a "Crazy ass cracka". Who was the real racist here afterall?

the evidence points towards an act of self-defense.  Zimmerman will be found not-guilty...if the jury can remain objective and ignore all the sensationalism surrounding this case.  The fact it has gone on this long is ridiculous.

*he might be found guilty of one of the lesser manslaughter charges, though.  I don't know what theyre called

I don't care what the law is you don't kill an unarmed teenager.playmynutz

apparently you do

even if he is trying to kill you and bashing your skull in and got the jump on you and has you at a disadvantage?

I haven't paid much attention to this case, so I can't speak on it... but the whole "innocent teenager" thing doesn't fly.

If you asked me about six months ago, I would have definitly said he was guilty, considering all the evidence presented so far, cant say for sure anymore.

I dont think he should get off scott free from this though, the whole incident never would have happened if he listend to the police and not pursued Treyvon

I can't say for sure since I wasn't there, but from the evidence that I've seen (especially the wounds to Zimmerman's head) it seems to me that Trayvon was the aggressor or at least aggressive and Zimmerman probably shot in what he thought was self-defense. All around it is an unfortunate situation and I don't think Zimmerman should have pursued Trayvon to the extent that he did, but I don't think he is guilty of murder. Commander-Gree

i mean, it would help Zimmerman's case more if they took photos before he got cleaned up.

That stuff is just superficial.

So we really don't know what kind of a beating he took.

And even then... was he in fear of his life? That is such a gray area. Maybe he really was and did the only thing in his mind he could. The whole "in fear of your life" thing is a gray area.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"] I am in a similar predicament.BranKetra

thank you, NBC

In the eyes of the public and media, Zimmerman was already made out to be guilty in large part due to NBC editing the 911 call to make Zimmerman look like a racist and that he was out to get this black kid.  So i was referencing mostly the first portion

It's really bad, I'm not sure how they haven't been sued into oblivion for what they did.  They cut it so he says something like "he looks like he's up to no good, he looks black."  

He should have never tried to pursue Trayvon Martin in the first place. Especially when the police said exactly not to. Put his ass in jail. He shot a kid who acted out of being threatened. Trayvon was the real character acting out of self defense.MgamerBD

The biggest problem with this case is that the media sensationalized it from the start before all of the facts came out and most people had already made up their minds.  Those pictures of Zimmerman's wounds weren't even released until months after the event and from what I remember we didn't realize the extent of the physical confrontation until then.

you can clearly see his nose is broken, dude got messed up pretty bad. At what point does he say, ok enough is enough, NOW i can use lethal force...after all his teeth are knocked out and half dead?

How did he act out of self defense?  There needs to be a viable threat, which you have not shown their to be.

i think multiple news sources then used the same audio or transcript form NBC so it kept propagating.  Until it was finally revealed as bullcrap. ABC did the same thing with a video, although they were called on it pretty quickly.
