I never, EVER thought George Zimmerman would be acquitted, so my hopes are subdued

[Siwsan]

But the speed of this decision seems like is should be a good thing.

1. +1

2. that murder wasn't taped

this decision is too quick for acquittal

[Siwsan]

3. True - but it still seemed a slam dunk for the prosecution

Same with the Casey Anthony case, although that was over-charged. Still shocked, though.

[wryter2000]

7. It may not be on all counts, though

But clearly, it couldn't be an acquittal. And if it was hung, they'd still be talking. They wouldn't give up this early.

9. 2 out of 3 won't be a disappointment.

Whatever it is, any conviction is going to be appealed, anyway.

4. I agree!

[Lochloosa]

5. I did. He was over charged. On purpose.

6. it annoys me that CNN have had Mark O'Mara (zimmerman's lawyer) on tv commentating on this case.

8. Annoy?

I'd have to change the channel. I hope I never have to watch this Nelson again.

11. I just flipped back to MSNBC

They have Joyce Vance.

10. With Zimmerman there were NO witnesses...

apart from Zimmerman himself. There was NO video footage. It was literally his word against a dead kid.

The Chauvin murder is probably the most documented murder in history. There's video footage from multiple sources and from every possible angle and location, in excruciating detail. There were many and diverse witnesses, and video and audio recordings of their reactions as they watched the events unfolding.

Everything that happened is there and documented, second by agonizing second.

There is just no comparison between the two.

[Siwsan]

12. Yes - two completely different scenarios. I'm just referring to the shock I felt at the acquittal.

I can still remember that it took away my breath.
