    I'm too emotional and they're required to go by the law, which is ? in itself, especially in Florida.

    imo that whole trial was up to interpretation... zimmerman didn't even follow directions and he did say " they always get away"

    btw we gotta remember trayvon was a super strong super high " super thug" with 8 arms

    He didn't break the law. Why is no one protesting the laws? Instead they are just harassing citizens that did not write the laws.

    is it the law or the application/interpretation of it that is off in this case?

    The law states that he must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The absence of evidence meant that the altercation between Zimmerman and Trayvon preceding the shooting was a mystery.

    The woman who was speaking with Trayvon on the phone alleged that Trayvon hit Zimmerman first. Zimmerman said that Trayvon hit him first. Two witnesses allege that Zimmerman was getting his ass handed to him.

    His self defense argument could not be refuted beyond a reasonable doubt to the jurors. How did you interpret the laws which would result in a different verdict?

    You don't think the prosecution put the jury in a position where their hands were basically tied?

    The only thing she really could have done is held out for a hung jury.

    But it was obvious manslaughter.No proof that George was defending his life.

    lol@thinking jurors follow the letter of law... this is rich...

    When the profile is that high profile? Every move made was scrutinized during the hours and hours of news coverage and commentary.

    She said in a interview she was Puerto Rican.. IMO.. A real black woman/mother would've never sided with team whitey soccer mom.. she would've held strong...

    I think you cannot leave it to women to make logical decisions.Even a jury of all white men would have found him guilty of manslaughter.

    White jurors voted not guilty in the Rodney king trial with a tape of cops beating the ? out of Rodney... prosecution had jurors hands toed then and honkies still gave zero ? about the law or what they saw with their on eyes

    Man that was sad..I still recall that verdict lol...smh..

    Hung jury would have been better than letting an obviously guilty person walk free and clear. His ass would have been on pins and needles until the next episode.

    Retrial, ya bish.

    Maybe she should have done that, but none of us know how we'd react in that situation until we've actually experienced it.

    It's one thing to be pressured, but it's another to be pressured with the backing of the law.

    I'm sure they worked her over, and I don't think she deserves to ostracized any more then what's been done.

    Focus on the REAL problem..which was George Zimmerman and wack ass state laws.

    Sadly I don't really recall the Rodney King trial. I remember it vaguely and I remember the following riots vaguely but as you might guess it wasn't something my parents were completely forthcoming about in our home.

    I didn't learn the full story until later in life.
