Common sense prevailed over PC hysteria. Justice prevailed

You ca't draw a single parallel with the OJ trial...OJ was guilty as sin, but you can't bring illegally gotten evidence into court. That evidence was gotten without a warrant...

In the end, I was glad to see OJ walk, because it was a constitutional case at that point. I was also glad to see him lose the civil case, because he WAS guilty.

I am glad to see that immense political and biased social pressure was overcome, racism was overcome, the evidence outweighed conjecture and a fair decision resulted. This should have never been brought to trial, but it was and its over. I hope no one is injured or killed in any backlash from society's rebuttal to the decision.

The blatant manipulation of the information by the media was disgusting...the use of out dated pictures of Martin, the lack of pictures of Zimmermans injuries until very late into the process, the playing and hyping of the race card by the media and its lackeys was unworthy of an Oscar.

I hope Angela Corey and her office is investigated for evidence withholding and succumbing to political and social presurre for bringing forward a case that should not have been moved forward if not for the "pressures" that were applied from the White House down, NAACP, Sharpton and his gang and the others who instigated racial presurres to move this case forward. The former police chief of Sanford should sue for compensatory damages and possibly civil rights abuses for his dismissal. The Zimmermans should sue the news outlet, was it NBC, that tampered with the 911 call and broadcasted a manipulated version. The media started the flame, fed the flame, poured gas on the flame to ensure it reached "acceptable" heights of noticabability and then stayed on task to ensure the flames will continue to be fanned.

Sorry, I see eye rolls as hateful, snarky and sarcastic...I have current teenagers, remember?

I agree that they need to update the smilies...
