RSSGeorge Zimmerman NOT GUILTY on All Charges in the Death of Trayvon Martin (VIDEO)
Breaking News … The jury of 6 woman have come back with their verdict ... GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES!!!
After deliberating 16 1/2 hours the jury has come back with the verdict of not guilty in the death of Trayvon Martin. However, for those who have followed the case and paid attention to the evidence that the prosecution presented in the case, there really could have been no other verdict but “Not Guilty”. The defense ran rings around the prosecution and actually presents facts and evidence while the prosecution provided nothing b\ut things that would play to people’s sympathies. In the end the jury decided that George Zimmerman felt that his life was in peril and acted in self defense. In a case that had no winners, in the end the jury got it right based on the facts, the evidence and the law.
George Zimmerman, the man accused of murdering Trayvon Martin, has been found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
The verdict is the culmination of a case that captured the nation’s attention and will undoubtedly be imprinted in America’s history. The not guilty verdict means the jury of six women found that Zimmerman justifiably used deadly force and reasonably believed that such force was “necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm” to himself— Florida’s definition of self-defense.
Kudos to the folks at Legal Insurrection that did a great job covering the case and providing phenomenal input.
The just verdict was reached. As I have said repeatedly, this was a case that never should have been brought, and that was handled in a manner unbecoming the judicial system. It’s not too early to demand an inquiry into the prosecution of this case. Angela Corey should resign.
Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was cleared of all charges Saturday in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager whose killing unleashed furious debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice.
Zimmerman, 29, blinked and barely smiled when the verdict was announced. He could have been convicted of second-degree murder or manslaughter. But the jury of six women, all but one of them white, reached a verdict of not guilty after deliberating well into the night Saturday.
Washington Post: Zimmerman found not guilty in killing of Trayvon Martin.
Orlando Sentinel: George Zimmerman not guilty in Trayvon Martin’s death.
George Zimmerman is not guilty in Trayvon Martin’s death.
That was the verdict just handed down by six Seminole County jurors, after 15 hours of deliberations, several weeks of testimony and evidence in George Zimmerman’s trial in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17.
“You have no further business with this court,” Circuit judge Debra Nelson told Zimmerman moments after the verdict was read.
Zimmerman hugged his family after the verdict was read. George’s wife, Shellie, smiled and cried.
Trayvon’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, were not present in the courtroom when the verdict was read.
Outside the courthouse, deputies and other law enforcement were dealing with a crowd of about 100 people, many of whom were disappointed with the verdict
Zimmerman, who says he fired in self-defense, had faced up to life in prison if convicted as charged. Instead, he will go free.
CNN: George Zimmerman found not guilty of murder in Trayvon Martin’s death.
George Zimmerman is not guilty of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida jury decided late Saturday.
The fact that Zimmerman fired the bullet that killed Martin was never in question, but the verdict means the six-person jury had reasonable doubt that the shooting amounted to a criminal act.
The verdict caps a case that has inflamed passions for well over a year, much of it focused on race and gun rights.
The jury — made up of all women — had three choices: to find Zimmerman guilty of second-degree murder; to find him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter; or to find him not guilty.
The jurors deliberated for 16½ hours total, including 13 on Saturday alone, before delivering their verdict.

The jury really did their job…. and most people are happy with the result and now hopefully George Zimmerman can got on with his life. I am from South Africa and I am amazed how ignorant some people are in this country. I live close to Sanford and I just received a phone call from a friend and she said, “You must feel quite at home now in America, because right now Florida has become like your country South Africa… you are all racists and now we can officially call it Apartheid State Florida.”
So sad……. I actually feel hurt.
The ladies did their job despite not having all the information. This entire case should never gone to trial. This can be blamed on Angela Corey for producing an indictment that was based on lies and manufactured data.
Mary, welcome to the USA. You are exactly correct about the ignorance that exists in this country. Do not feel hurt by the person accepted by you as a friend. She probably did not have a good feeling about the fact that a youth lost his life. When you choose dangerous behavior, as did Trayvon,then sometimes you pay with your life.
The jury never learned of Trayvon’s activities that were actually criminal or why he was in Sanford. This guy was a half step away from prison when he arrived at the town home complex. He had evolved into a teenage thug.
I believe the jurors were surprised at how the attorney for the prosecution, during the closing rebuttal, continued to expound non-factual information as if he could read the mind of George Zimmerman. Truth speaks loudly and he was not speaking the truth.
Political pressure forced this trial to proceed in spite of the
complete lack of evidence in the case. The fact that the jury
of 6 women acted perfectly and independently in deciding
innocence of George Zimmerman was outstanding and
honorable. Now, the Regime has been denied it’s agenda and
will likely try to keep the flame of racial tensions and gun
‘control’ in the spotlight by acting stupidly.
Agreed. The travesty of justice here was that there was ever a trial at all. Florida law clearly states that if at ANY POINT that George Zimmerman felt AFRAID FOR HIS LIFE that this was 100% self-defense. Martin attacked Zimmerman, and this case was over. Zimmerman had every right to defend himself and a jury agreed.
This should send a message to the criminals of Florida too. We’re tired of being scared by the punks and the thugs and the criminals. We’re now empowered to fight back with lethal force. Maybe you should reconsider your life of crime.

Barkley then said, “I think sometimes when people talk about racism, they say only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist.” Charles basically blamed both Martin and Zimmerman for the incident and called it a bad situation. He said it was wrong for Zimmerman to follow Trayvon Marin, but then Barkley stated that he thought “Trayvon Martin, God rest his soul, I think he did flip the switch and started beating the hell out of Mr. Zimmerman.” That is probably pretty accurate to what the evidence showed in the Zimmerman murder trial and the reason why the jury found George Zimmerman not guilty.

The prosecution did not throw the case against Zimmerman, the prosecution did not have a murder case against George Zimmerman.
