  I personally am displeased with this verdict. It was still the killing of an unarmed teenager, and all witness testimony still shows said teenager as being harassed prior to the shooting. So what the hell humanity why is this guy getting off with nothing for shooting an unarmed man to death? i mean he admitted to killing him, and that the guy was unarmed, and he just "felt threatened"... I mean what the hell?

  Did you check the source the Cat posted? If the withheld evidence that was pulled from the victim's thread is true, it may not be as innocent as it seems. Wither that's true or not I'm unsure of.
  
  If it's true, then that changes things completely. Otherwise, if the jury has a reasonable doubt about the outcome of the case they have no choice but to say not guilty as the whole point of a guilty verdict is that the person was guilty 100% with no reasonable doubt.
  
  State can always appeal I'm sure if they strongly feel he's in the wrong and get a new jury to decide.

  My only hope for these high profile cases is that the verdict pisses off the people still following this shit.

  It has. I've already seen 4-5 news stories about riots in Florida about the verdict.

  Except in this case he's Latino which last I checked was also a racial minority.

  
  Zimmerman ain't no hispanic last name where I come from.

  Not that it matters. Hispanics can be racists, sometimes worse so.

  Basically this.
  
  I loved it when Casey Anthony was found not guilty because at the time people got so far up their own asses that they didn't even consider that they might be wrong. I'm glad there's at least occasionally an equalizing factor to piss everyone off in the name of fairness.

  see I actually saw as there not being enough evidence to convict Anthony.
  
  Zimmerman on the other hand admitted to shooting an unarmed minor, which should have given him some sort of manslaughter charge at the very least, even if he was threatened he didn't need to fire multiple shots point blank.

  A search says they found some new evidence that she possibly used firefox to research fool proof suffocation.
  
  Or somebody did, either way, apparently evidence was withheld or forgotten.
  
  
  I think someone used the freedom of information act?
  I remember someone mentioning this to me, i really have a strong distaste for that woman.

  Because you can't tell guess someones nationality by last name, right?
  Also I'm not sure why you're targetting hispanics in your posts when anyone can be racist. Saying one nationality can be more racist than the other is highly ignorant.
