34. If you shoot someone, even in Florida, you have a lot of explaining to do to stay out of jail.

Even George Zimmerman had to go to court, fight for his freedom, and raise an ungodly amount of money to pay for his lawyers. Even then, the court's result was far from a sure thing, and he was very, very close to spending the rest of his life in the slammer.

That huge amount of publicity doesn't seem to be happening in this case, and he'll more than likely have to pay his lawyer's bills all by himself. After the criminal case, he's going to be civilly sued into oblivion by the victim's family.
