I'm trying really hard to remember that there may have been evidence introduced in the court case that we didn't know about.

In my honest (and possibly unwelcome opinion), the prosecution did not do the best job it could have done. From some of the things I read about the case, they were not doing the best job of proving Zimmerman's guilt.....

Ditto
ETA: I do not agree with the verdict.

This was the feeling I also had. Casey Anthony all over again. "Guilty" but the prosecution couldn't prove it.

Can he be sued like OJ Simpson? I would sue for everything he owned plus futures earning from what he would earn from this.

I'm assuming the Martin family will file a civil suit...

I feel like one of the most naïve people in the U.S. I thought Zimmerman would at least get manslaughter.

When I said a wrongful death earlier, I was not taking "criminal" murder, but moral and ethical. While I wish he could be held culpable for murder, I am not surprised at this outcome. The burden of proof is high, as it should be.

This is horrible and if it indicates the direction our country is moving in, I'm genuinely afraid for all of our children...
From someone with a military/civil disobedience background... Let's say that GZ really was fearful for his life. There isn't just "walk away" and "shoot to kill." Oh can shoot the person in the leg, so that they cannot pursue you, but you aren't killing them. This would have been a viable option- it's what we were always taught (stateside). It is not necessary to kill the person to ensure your own safety.
I honestly believe GZ will eventually kill someone else. There is something psychologically wrong with that man...

^^^^ I agree *winter*. And I believe this will also cause a rash of similar deaths. IMHO,

The burden of proof is even higher when you have a ridiculous law like "stand your ground" on the books.

Any backlash should be against the NRA.
