Hi, I am Harley, this is my photo. George Zimmerman has been found not guilty in the of killing Travon Martin. I have read all the idiotic posts on here about race and it being the 60's again. I kept up with the trial and I thought that Zimmerman should never have been charged with murder in the second degree, that just was not going to fly, and way over the top. The media had a field day trying to convince everyone of Zimmerman's guilt along with Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson before the trial even began. A better charge would have been justifiable homicide. But in our justice system being found not guilty of one crime does not mean you did nothing wrong. A young man is dead, could this have been prevented? Most certainly. But the system worked, the jury deliberated the evidence and I believe came to the right decision based on the charges Mr. Zimmerman was accused of. I do not think Mr. Zimmerman feels like he got away with murder, in fact I believe he is truly sorry the event even occurred. To those on here who somehow believe whites have license to kill black people, you are way off the mark. No one won in this case, a young man is dead, another will be labeled for the rest of his life. In fact Mr. Zimmerman's life may now be in danger due to the outcome of this trial. No system is perfect, no one is right if everybody is wrong. What I suspect will happen now is that a civil case will be brought by Zimmerman and he may well become a very wealthy man. I will say this, the prosecution in this trial did a very poor job, they made numerous and critical tactical errors. But again the jury weighed the evidence, they deliberated, and they found Mr. Zimmerman not guilty that is enough for me. I feel certain if you asked the Martin family how they perceive the outcome it would not be satisfactory. I believe in our system of justice, it may not always be right nor perfect, but it works and is actually better than most that are out there.
