I don't think anyone believes Zimmerman set out to kill someone. Fed charges aren't likely. The prosecution really effed this one up. It sounds like they did nothing to present the story of a kid scared out of his wits.
I can't fathom how people don't see the impact of both race and Stand Your Ground in this case.
What happened after the shooting? Not much of anything, hell the police didn't even really bother to start the investigation until Zimmerman was arrested SIX WEEKS after the incident.
Huh? A 17 year old is shot and the police just assume it was in self defense? They do little to collect evidence or look for witnesses?
Just another black kid who must have been looking for trouble. Nothing to see here, everybody move along...
