At this point I do not see how he is guilty, not even that he could be found guilty.
Just about everything we have heard points towards self defense, which with Florida state law, he is not guilty of murder. If not innocent, at least enough probable cause to find him not guilty.
At this point if he is found guilty, I would put that in the field of a racist charged verdict.
It is just a shame that the media, and others have tried to turn this into a racially charged ordeal and lost site of the fact that a kid is dead.
Could this have been averted? Yes.
Should it have been averted? Yes.
Should we crucify the ONLY PERSON who has any real idea what happened? No. It will not bring the kid back and with everything I have heard to this point he is innocent of murder, but guilty of making bad decision.
Its just a completely shame that the idea of "Innocent until proven Guilty" was completely ignored in this case, mainly by the media.

Zimmerman never should have been charged with murder. This was clearly a manslaughter case. I don't see how, from what they've presented, that the prosecution thought they had enough evidence for a murder conviction.

Its race wars 101. If they did not prosecute as murder than the African American community would be outraged at them, now when tehy fail the case the anger will be at "white" people instead of the prosecuters. Which is funny because Zimmerman is hispanic. But it does lead to the next big race problems, Mexicans/Latinos vs African Americans. In LA (California) its been real bad already. African americans are getting pushed out of their neighborhoods and targeted by Latinos. With their greater numbers they are really putting pressure on the African American Community. What happens when two mnorities are in a race war? I wonder what will happen in LA after this verdict.
