In my limited view, I think the witnesses let Prosecution down.
Good advice... if you're at a mall. Why do you say Zimmerman had any authority in this situation? Because he was older, whiter, and/or had a gun?
The guy for Martin said he has done over 80 murder cases and this is only the 2nd one he lost.

Zimmerman was laid out upon the roof of the White House and bound with many strong chains of wicked iron, black and steadfast.
The Dark President came out and lay hands upon Zimmerman's head, and Zimmerman quailed from the touch. The hands were cold and hard as a tomb, but through the palms he could feel the pumping of blood - like savage drums in the old forests at the dawn of time.
"Now look thee upon the fields, warrior of thy people," bellowed Obama. "My workings are at last at hand. As soon as the council returns their verdict, you will pay."
Zimmerman laid eyes upon the marshlands of Washington, and his spirit failed. Like a thundercloud strangling the sun, great throngs of dark soldiers, young and powerful, poured forth into the distance. Each man was clad in a hooded garment. Great bridges of strong worked steel, twisted and cruel, now crossed the Potomac, and they were crowded and seethed like a nest of ants. The sky had turned to blood and smoke poured from the city. The soot fell upon the houses and turned them black as crowsfeathers.
"They will go out into the towns and markets, the suburbs, the malls, the country music festivals, the wine tastings, the golf clubs, the brony conventions," intoned the President. "No one will dare bring challenge to their presence as they loiter nonthreatingly. Not after they behold your fate. You shall see all of this."
A small attendant, shrewish and wrinkled, brought the lord a cloth. Obama wrapped it about his head.
"My name is Barack Hussein Obama. My caliphate is here."
Suddenly the heavens parted and bolts of lightning issued forth. Hussein was cast back and the chains about Zimmerman were broken. The bridges crumbled and fell, and the dark army quailed and cried in fear as they were swept away into the river or fled into the night.
Upon clouds of light came down the Lords Odin and Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Their white radiance was too much to behold for the evil ones, but Zimmerman's heart felt new and young.
"O issue of Maya and Norseman," Odin spake. "The motherly court hath made council on thy claims, and decideth that if thou claim that thou wert the victim of a thuggish ambush, then who art we to challenge thee?"
"Also he probably smoked weed," hissed Quetzalcoatl.
Zimmerman was taken upon the cloud and carried off into the Fifth World of Man, where his wounds were healed and he rested until the end of days.
On Earth, Obama stayed. His domain lay in ruins, his armies scattered and routed, his caliphate brought low. He rent his garment and cast down his head cloth. He spake and spit in heathen tongue, and with a curved dagger swore a blood oath upon his moon god that he would take revengeance upon the men of Europe. He summoned his most trusted steward, and all the messengers quaked in fear. Joe Biden came out to the roof upon hearing the call.
"Hey Barry, I heard you needed som- Jesus, what the fuck's been going on here?"

And based on the prosecution, I can't believe any sane jury would have convicted Zimmerman of manslaughter.

Thats a big story. I think prosecution knew they had a weak case
Plaxico Burress got 2 years for shooting himself
Why would you follow someone? If you plan to I wouldn't recommend it. It's not normal.
Haven't followed at all.
From what I'm hearing from a certain group of people, Zimmerman suspected Treyvon of wrong doing for whatever reason, cop tells him not to follow, he says he walked forward to see the address, treyvon didn't like that and maybe felt threatened so he took preemptive action and brutally attacked Zimmerman, who during the struggle, shot treyvon?
Is this correct?

She was finally cleared of the homicide charges, but it took two years (only got resolved a month ago) and she was still forced to ritually abase herself by pleading guilty to jaywalking and paying a fine:

Hasn't he already been getting crazy amounts of donations?
Goes to show the value of a black mans life is still worth shit in this fucking country. Killed for simply existing. Killed by a scared bitch of a man that profiled him.
That being said. To my black family. Where's the outcry for black on black violence? Lets look in the mirror.

Nah. That dude has no chance.
Yep. No crime committed so profiting is cool.
Fortunately, getting a civil verdict should be much easier, so hopefully most or all of that money can be taken from him.
Pretty much. And that the Stand Your Ground law is a law that is ripe for committing heinous acts under. The law needs to change, Zimmerman needs to get a work at home job, stop acting like a cop, and disappear for a while, and people need to stop treating this case as a race case. His race isn't why he was found not guilty. Not sure why people aren't understanding this...
He wasn't a security guard please stop saying this.
I didn't believe you at first. The case is real but you have some facts wrong.

She was jaywalking which is why she was charged for negligence and not vehicular manslaughter.
The guy who hit her kid got 5 years jail time but was put on probation after 6 months for the remaining 4.5 years.
Her 1 year jail time was changed to probation by the judge. The outcome there makes sense considering the charges that were filed.
No it's not. You're filling in the blanks there.

South, as in Florida? If Florida, maybe. If not, you're reaching
volunteer neighborhood watch =/= "authority figure" and as such, Martin shouldn't have to "[do] as he was told" as he was returning to HIS HOME in HIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
wtf
This is dumb. Trayvon is dead and Zimmerman's actions caused it. That is manslaughter

I agree with this completely.
It's disgusting to think about but I bet he could make thousands selling that thing.
C'mon, you can't be serious. What, you think that Travon died all by himself from natural causes or something? Please.
Step 1) Assault random black person.
Step 2) When they fight back, pull out gun
Step 3) Shoot and kill person
Step 4) Don't even get arrested at first
Step 5) When you finally do get arrested and charged after heavy protest, get off free.

Lol. Drama queen Don West is doing his drama queen thing.
Hispanic is not a race. There are white Hispanics and black Hispanics. Zimmerman self identifies as white Hispanic.
Made up a profession for GZ out of thin air
Ridiculous reasoning (or lack thereof)
and Victim blaming.
All in one post. Congratulations.
Plaxico Burress got 2 years for criminal possession of a firearm.
The way they ruled it, it was self defense.

there was plenty of evidence that he should have been found guilty of *manslaughter*, but not *murder*. and by that, i mean self-defense wasn't proven.
*he was told to stay in his car and not pursue
*he defied that and did so anyway
*that should have nullified his ability to use self-defense
*ie: he followed trayvon with the intent of confronting him
*with a loaded gun
*after being told by authorities to not do that
so when we say that the law is the problem, it really is. because he CLEARLY should be convicted of manslaughter, but not murder. the evidence shows that he was determined to confront trayvon, but it's not proven if he intended on killing him. if the law leaves such a huge gaping hole in such obvious logic, then yes, it IS the fucking problem.

Read your own link, and my other links:
The state of Georgia prosecuted a pedestrian that was hit by a drunk, high and partially blind hit and run driver with vehicular homicide.
Well I guess lots of people will be sent to jail for hyperbolic jokes...

In reality though, most of those cases were probably fastballs straight down the middle of the plate. Most criminals are DUMB and don't hide their guilt very well. Not to take anything away from the prosecutor but seeing a bit of this case here and there it seems like he wasn't very good in this case.
