There is already a thread running on this same topic, might want to check that one out for the comments there, for what they are worth.

My was not good ... People need to move on..

Mine was that six people attented the trial and did what they were asked to do.  They found him not guilty and this should be but probably won't be the end of it.

i just hope our system did justice. i hope the jury found enough evidence to assume zimmerman thought his life was in danger and had to defend himself....

I believe that Zimmerman should have been convicted of murder. He is guilty as hell.

I believe that Zimmerman should have been convicted of murder. He is guilty as hell.

  Unless you were in that jury or watched every minute of the trial, that opinion is just not credible. You have the right to voice your opinion, it`s more credible though if you can base it on facts

Once the jury made its decision, the point should be moot. None of us are privy to the information the jury had. We were not the jury nor the judge in the case.

What was your reaction about the Zimmermann trial?

I was neutral because I respect the fact that members of the jury did their best.  None of us have a guarantee that we will outlive our children and there are many, many parents who have experienced the grief of losing a child.

The mistake is when we all assume that Trayvon had a blueprint that says he should live to be a "ripe, old" age.

I am saddened by this whole thing, there are no winners in this tragedy. Both families have been changed forever.

I'm glad justice prevailed. Of course not being on the jury we don't have a full view, but with all the evidence that made it out to the media, it was pretty clear Zimmerman is innocent, and acted in self-defense.

Well I don't feel that judge and jury always give a fair trial because the jury can rule by their emotions in any case. I know it is up to God, so if there wasn't enough evidence for him to be convicted they do have to set him free, they can't send a man to prison if they don't have enough evidence.

Furthermore, I think we are giving way too much attention to this, there are a ton of things going on out there that no one cares about, all about one teenager. Why don't all these people who claim to care so much notice that every single day there are killings because of gangs and kids join and have to kill and they won't let them out.

  actually can't believe it.........but I don't know why after the outcome of the casey anthony trial I don't know why this surprised me but it did. As I mentioned previously, wouldn't want to be him because he probably isn't real well liked around here.

A jury found him not guilty...so people need to get over it and move on!!!!
