I don't think that's fair. The jurors said that they wanted to convict Zimmerman of something, but under the law, they couldn't do so.
The state overcharged the case, could not back it up, and this is the natural end result. I think that if they originally would have charged Zimmerman with manslaughter and made their case that way, he would have been convicted. Unfortunately, that isn't what happened.
