30. Huge?

Well, I guess that's a matter of perspective.

For the Martin family and friends it is huge. Same goes for the Zimmermann family. This is a HUGE event for both of them.

I think it will give some reporters (Nancy Grace & Friends) something to talk about for a couple of years. For them and their dedicated watchers it will be "huge."

It also may be decisive for stand your ground laws nationwide.

As far as "huge" in the manner of attorneys, sheriffs, and deputies facing real charges, no I don't expect much of that. Some may well lose their jobs, but the cover up crimes will likely be swept away.
