George Zimmerman will walk. I knew he would walk before the trial, and I know he will now. [View all]

I believe he guilty, there is clear evidence he did but enough clouding to give reasonable doubt. And after all this is the America, and killing people who look like me is legal in this country. Hell the Police do it regularly.
