Wrong. Otherwise you must be agreeing juries always get it right. Sheriff Lawrence Rainey must have been totally innocent too.
Oh, and BTW, sometimes the law, like the ones in FL, aren't always right.
Thankfully they got it right here, and because of this people still have a right to defend themselves.
EP didn't say he broke any laws. He said everything he did was WRONG.
WRONG by whose standards, EP's? The Law is what dictates what is or isn't WRONG here not EP.
GZ did not avoid. Burden is on him since he was carrying.
Bollocks, GZ broke no laws, and 8 women jurors agreed with that.
Exacly case closed, get over it.
If there is so much concern about young black boys being gunned down, Chicago really could use some help, somehow I don't think we'll be hearing anything from Sharpton and Jackson about that though.
One person went out that day looking for trouble, armed with a weapon.
Nonsense, it was TM that came back for trouble looking for a fight.
We only have Zimmerman's word for what happened because he shot the only other witness.
You also don't have anyone elses word that he did, so why the manufactured conjecture?
I don't get it, why do people claim that GZ followed TM when he didn't? Surely the police would have cooroborated where the fight took place in relation to the vehicle.

Zimmerman therefore called a non-emergency police line to report Martin's behavior and summon police. [180] [181] During the call, Zimmerman told the dispatcher that Martin was "coming to check me out." [93] A source to the Orlando Sentinel said in May that Zimmerman told investigators that at one point Martin circled his vehicle, [Note 7] and he rolled up his window to avoid a confrontation. [177] [182]
After telling the police dispatcher that Martin "ran," [183] Zimmerman left his vehicle to determine his location and ascertain in which direction Martin had fled. [177] [184] The dispatcher asked if Zimmerman was following Martin, and Zimmerman replied "Yeah." Then the dispatcher said, "OK, we don't need you to do that." Zimmerman replied with "OK" and stated that Martin got away. [183] After a discussion about where Zimmerman would meet police, the call ended, and Zimmerman told investigators he was returning to his vehicle when Martin approached him from his left rear and confronted him.

No one won and one person is dead and the others life is ruined.
True, one good thing that came from all this though is a win for justice and democracy, and the preservation of the right to defend oneself from thugs that attack you.
Question: were these news sources that stated that the operator told him to stay in his vehicle, the same ones that made this case about racism in the first place?
