INSANE !

I never thought 2nd degree - a lot to prove... but manslaughter- he did kill Travon and went into a fight with an UNARMED man while he had a gun !! !? crazy Had it been reversed- I could see it... but not this way.

Well maybe the Stand Your Ground (anywhere) will now backfire! ``````

And we'll see if he gets slapped with a civil case.

Zimmerman may have been acquitted, but he's going to be in court for years, fighting off Wrongful Death and other civil suits.

[cynic]He'll need every dime he earns as a Fox News justice analyst to survive the financial beating he'll take. And Wayne LaPierre will black out from the most intense wet dream he's ever had.[/cynic]

The prosecution (State) failed. Not going after the stand your ground law was their first mistake. Of course, the State was not going to challenge its own law. crazy

In this case, since only two people knew what really happened (and one of them is dead) it's hard to say wether the decision was "just" or not (in philosophical terms, at any rate) ...

The system did work as intended, however: the burden was on the prosecution and they failed to prove Martin didn't act in self-defense (and proving a negative is a big hill to climb, much less in court). Not surprising, but still disappointing (and more than a little scary) that apparently someone can play toy cop, initiate a confrontation, get in over their head, kill another person dead, and not be at least partially responsible for that outcome ...

But, to paraphrase: the US justice system is the worst on earth, except for all the others ...

... and so it goes.
