Thoughts On The Zimmerman Verdict

The jury got it right.

I have rarely seen a trial on TV where the State evidence was so full of holes, or that a wide variety of TV lawyer pundits kept saying the State's case had major problems. Those TV  Lawyers pundits were reflecting what I was hearing from local lawyers that took time to hear the case.

At the very very least it was evident to many that he was overcharged which should give us pause as to why that happened.

In the end the jury did what juries are instructed to do. They weighed and considered the evidence that was in front of them and nothing else. They did not presume to judge other alleged evidence that had not been admitted. They made the State prove the defendants guilt not make Zimmerman prove his innocence .

In the end the state came no where close to proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

I actually thought both sides argued the case well. Despite that I hear that the Prosecution " threw the trial " , " bungled the trial " or were called unprepared. I did not really see that at all. Sometimes when the State does not good facts on their side it might appears that is what is happening but in reality they having to make the best they can out of a Sow' ear.

In the end in those crucial moments none of us are going to know what happened. All we know is that Zimmerman sustained some severe injuries to his head and Martin ended up dead. The State failed to produce enough evidence that would have defeated the presumption of innocence of Zimmerman as to the events in those minutes.
