Zimmerman won't ever be arrested, let alone convicted. This SYG law, which was written and is supported by psychopaths and passed by one of the most corrupt governmental bodies on Earth, gives Zimmerman a pass. While what happened to Trayvon was a crime, there has been even more blatant examples of SYGers getting off without an arrest.

Those of you who are fortunate enough not to live in Florida really need to read this article to understand some of the bullshit this "law" has caused.
