In reply to the discussion: Jury finds George Zimmerman not guilty [View all]truth2power
(8,219 posts)I agree..he got away with murder. I don't blame the prosecution but I do blame the Sanford PD because this would never have come to trial at all but for the public outcry.
I'm sure GZ is now very wealthy because of those who donated to his cause (that of profiting from the death of an innocent boy).
And yes, vigilante-ism has been made acceptable to some elements of the American population. Heaven help us all!
As to why I don't blame the prosecution, I'm still struggling with WTH everyone else saw that I didn't. I watched the trial from about day 8 to the end (don't ask why I didn't realize it was being live-streamed before that).
IMO, the prosecution did an admirable job with what they had. The defense, OTOH, had GZ's mother (what was she going to say, that her son was a loser?), his uncle peddling some cockamamie story about hearing Georgie scream, and Mr. West prancing around with a chunk of concrete. Bleh!
I am absolutely dumbfounded by all of this.
