The jury deliberated for 16 hours and 20 minutes over two days before reaching a unanimous verdict of NOT guilty.

Are you serious? Oh crap.
Wait – twitter says Not Guilty?
Jeebus, you almost gave me a spasm. 😀
😳
Heh.
Fuck yeah!!!
I can’t believe it. I was so afraid they would find him guilty.
Suck it, Mr. President!
Honk!
SUCK IT Race Baiters !!!!!
🙂
Let the riots begin. Local news reporting “what looks like riots” in Sanford.
A very brave jury. looked a the facts, not the hype
This.
The Martin family skipped the reading of the verdict.
They knew.
Yup
I hope he gets out alive
That is what I tried to say downstairs, but was directed up here. I’m still afraid for him.
Holy shit! Took a nap and SNAP, woke up 90 seconds before they read the verdict. Watched with a house full of teens who will never forget where they were tonight because of what will happen next. Amazing! Vindication!
Holy shit!
I am watching MSNBC to see if heads explode
Aww they are depressed over there at the race baiting channel ,
Al Sharpton is promising further action – civil and federal.
Didn’t O’Mara say that Zimmerman will get immunity from civil suits? I think people will donate to defend Zimmerman from any DOJ B.S.
I don’t understand this. Why would Zimmerman be immune from civil suit? OJ Simpson (who unlike Zimmerman was, IMHO, guilty of murder) was acquitted and then hit with a large civil suit, and he wasn’t immune if I recall correctly.
Obviously I would hope that Zimmerman would WIN any civil suit, but that’s not the same thing as being immune from being sued in the first place.
The SYG statute gives civil immunity in SD cases.
Thank you! I was totally confused because I didn’t know that the SYG statute intersected with SD claims, nor did I know about its immunity provision. This case hasn’t been covered as much over here, so I am low-info compared to most of you all.
My faith in six women was not misplaced. You have no idea how much I needed some faith restored.
Honk!
Yep. All of us.
Me too!!!!
They did good. Thank you, ladies. 🙂
Me, too. Needed that faith restored.
With you on all of that.
Jury system. Gotta love it. Sorry I doubted.
HONK!!
If there are gonna be riots they won’t happen right outside the courthouse.
Local news from sanford crowd http://www.970wfla.com/articles/local-news-124415/watch-live-george-zimmerman-trial-11372652/

The Whole System’s Guilty” Chant
And yet they celebrated the acquittal of that slimeball Simpson. In other words, they’re all ethically bankrupt.
Thank God justice prevailed. Now let’s keep Zimmerman in our thoughts, for his safety.
Reverend Al is already talking about a civil suit and civil rights violations , bastage that he is .
Go ahead. They won’t know what hit them when Zimmerman counter-sues. The Martins have more to lose, now that they’re in the Trayvon business.
MSNBC/The Grio Joyce Ann-Reid – No blacks on the jury, Florida run by NRA
MSNBC blond gasbag – blacks underrepresented on juries because of felony convictions.
Blacks are underrepresented on juries because they ignore jury summonses. True story.
Racist! LOL
The blacks were struck because of their comments on social media and attending “justice” rallies. Also only about 11% of the county is non-white.
And uh, didn’t the prosecution strike some African-American jurors? And also, wasn’t one of those jurors exactly as African-American as Zimmerman is white?
Angela Corey gasbagging.
She’s talking like she won the case.
It’s surreal listening to her.
She looks like she’s dressed for a cocktail party. Guess she won’t get that celebration after all.
I noticed how she was dressed too…..I thought perhaps I was just being too catty……but yep looks like a cocktail dress to me too.
MEOW!
She reminds me of that creepy woman in pink from harry pottter. The one that acted pleasant but was really evil. Looked like a frog.
Angela Corey sucking on tv right now. Let the lawsuits begin.
Her career is over.
Before it even started? bwaaahhaa She is beyond annoying
She’s had a long career in the Jacksonville area
Please.
She has prosecutor’s immunity.
Do you think she needs to be very afraid of the bar committees in the state?
Yep, she does. But my money is on her name being attached to the legislation that dumps all that prosecutorial privilege stuff and pulls back their horns a whole bunch. Just hope it doesn’t go too far, but IMO the end is nigh and we’ll soon be hearing of “Corey’s Law”.
Agree. Loads and loads of em. Bring it on.
And disbarments. Whole lotta those, too.
Angela Corey is on an ego trip. I am so fed up with her. When she brought this case I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking there must be more to the story. She’ll never get that from me again or my vote.
Baldo was on next (I can’t remember all his names) talking about the family of the victims of crime. The only reason Zimmerman wasn’t the victim of a crime is that you can’t put the dead in jail.
I think he was a victim of crime — assault and battery.
Thank fucking GOD!!!!! Was so afraid they were going to convict him of manslaughter just to appease the race baiters…..
Suck it, MSM!!!
The system worked, I believe justice prevailed.
Yes and no.
George Zimmerman didn’t get justice. His life has been ruined.
True but that wasn’t the system that was the media and he has an opportunity to seek damages from the media.
Even still his life has indeed been ruined and I fear for he and his family’s safety.
If he moves to Texas, he’ll be much better off.
Perhaps, but I think he’ll be hunted no matter where he goes. I honestly think his best bet would be to leave the US at least for a little while.
He needs to be supported by we the people.
I couldn’t watch the trial but am so relieved GZ was found NOT GUILTY! Tragically, a 17 year old is dead and GZ’s life is ruined and his safety questionable. If people want to riot, so be it. They will be breaking the law. BTW, the term “white Hispanic” is a vicious coinage to skew the court of public opinion and is as weird as saying “white African American”, etc.
By their logic, Obama is a white Negro.
Hope the NYT starts using that. (snort)
{{Headdesk}}
The witch hunt continues…..
Gross. If you want a “not proven” verdict there are plenty of jurisdictions that allow for that. They are not in the United States, of course.
Congratulations to six objective, reasonable, and fair women who decided this based on the facts of the case. Glory be!!!
I guess this is some rapper
why don’t these “FOLKS” get in trouble for this type of comment?
That’s what I want to know. Nineteen yr old Justin Carter is sitting in jail because he made a stupid comment on FB and yet these comments are allowed.
FYI: 1,998,624 hits
We need to keep Zimmerman in our thoughts and also those six brave women on the jury. They also have to go out among the race baiters and haters. Great work. I propose a national day, week, month or year of no t v to let the media know how much we love and respect them.
Drop Dead Diva Angela Corey is really digging the hole deeper. Maybe she can get a job on MSNBC after being disbarred.
the prosecution is not happy. still arguing the case. this will not help
“[Prosecution is] still arguing the case”
*****************
Yup, adding more fuel to the racial fire.
slight correction, Helen. The prosecution has BEGUN arguing the case.
Something they didn’t do much of, earlier. Unless that was all they had.
Ho Lee Fuk.
The jury played it smart — I thought for sure when they didn’t come back quickly they would be (at best) hung. But instead they deliberated & considered for a good long time so they couldn’t be accused of rushing to judgment on what was obviously a case where the prosecution came nowhere close to meeting it’s burden of proof.
I would say the system worked, but if the system worked the case never would have been brought — instead, political pressure had to be brought for a special prosecutor to be appointed & bring charges — without a Grand Jury indictment. Angela Corey and the entire prosecution team should be disbarred for this travesty.
I tend to agree — my initial thought when they didn’t come back quickly was that they did not want to be accused of failing to deliberate thoroughly, and then when the hours kept clicking by thought that if they hadn’t already decided, they were probably trying to choose between manslaughter and not-guilty.
Good. My husband is now yelling at the prosecutor on TV: Suck it, bitch! You threw everything at the wall including child abuse and nothing stuck, because the guy was defending himself. STFU, racist loser!
Sharpton is threatening to sue in civil court, etc., so I hope GZ sues for defamation…. I’m concerned for the six jurors’ safety.
Zimemrman is broke. Sharpton and Trayvon’s family are rich. Should be an interesting judgment.
Now MOM and Don West are up.
They start by thanking the local sheriff for a professional job.
I love them both.
Somebody needs to take Angela Corey’s shovel away…….damn get a hook pull her away from the podium……enough go home…..as a resident in your district I might add go home and resign.

Don West (def. att.) said the Prosecution was “disgraceful”…. Also, this defense lawyer and his family were threatened.
If Zimmerman were black, which one of the 2 would bronco’s son have
‘looked like”?
He’s right. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would have stayed home and never said a word.
A seventeen year old lashed out and acted violently illegally and now he is dead. It was in his own hands that night. George was not responsible.
To quote MOM: There are no winners here.
But lots of losers. All of it is sad.
I love Mark O’Mara he just took apart the media !!
He’s good!
he was awesome!!!! Good for him!!!!
So glad he eviscerated the media!
I’m forcing myself to watch MSNBC—-not pretty
True. Al Sharpton just threw a whole bunch of gas on the fire, now Crump doing his racist thang… Jesus… so much for justice
If I ever needed a defense lawyer I would want West and O Mara.
they are not happy with the prosecution. will go ahead with sanctions. This is not over.
I love that he told the press that their part in the railroading was not right.
The guilty parties are speaking now.
True dat.
After hearing Al Sharpton, I think Somebody is right. The NAACP and the race hustling industry is going to Eric Holder’s Department of Racial Animosity demanding federal charges. I don’t think the DOJ will hesitate for one second. Zimmerman may have as few as 48 hours to catch a plane to Peru while he’s still a free man.
Unfortunately, because of people like Al Sharpton, Crump, Eric Holder and The Dog Eater, Zimmerman will never be a free man. He will always have to look over his shoulder
haha
When I was in law school they never told us that “race pimp” was a legal specialty.
I wonder when all the Lefties are going to get upset about all the poverty and violence and murders in Chicago.
The family wants to make TM a Civil Rights symbol. What a disgrace!
So a symbol of a thug want-to-be who didn’t get to mug and kill someone. Good thinking on their part. I think he will make a perfect backlash symbol.
I wonder how much the crime rate will drop in Florida.
Thug wanna bes are role models in the entertainment industry aimed at youth ,especially African American youth . A rapper just recently got shot while performing on stage , so why not a thug “civil rights ” symbol ?? Rosa Parks would get off the bus .
They don’t care about the violence and murders in DC either. Unless…
That family – are they not the ones that kicked that little angel out of the house?
Nice.
I had the sound off when the verdict was announced, so I was looking for a video. Thanks.
Irony.
Never let a crisis go to waste. ~Alinksy
““white Hispanic” is a vicious coinage to skew the court of public opinion and is as weird as saying “white African American”, etc.”
THis sounds like a GREAT way to refer to POTUS in all Tweets going forward! LOL
Today, White African-American President Barack Obama left for more golfing on Martha’s Vinyard”
Yes!
I’m a “white hispanic” thanks to CNN, so yeah FF…POTUS is a “white AA.”
funny thing is that Thersa Heinz Kerry is a white african american
Does John know?
With far more claim on the African part that 99% of AAs. She was born there. Plus you can add in Hispanic since her parents were Portuguese.
I am not sure Kerry was able to anything past the Heinz $$$$.
If I heard one more time that martin was just a child , I will scream. he was a young man. At 17 my husband and many others were in the military. At 17 I was almost on my own.
Did he still have a lot to learn about life, yes but he was not a child, he was a young man.
I still am outraged over the media showing him at 12 years old , not as a 17 year old. 12 years old a child, 17 years old a young man
I have been wondering myself why the phrase young man has never been used in reference to Martin . Especially since he was 6’3″ tall and built like the football player he was . But of course I know why .
Correction – America’s FIRST White African-American President…”
Fucking idiots.
So disheartening—I used to like him. What I see predominantly is an absolute hatred of guns, gun owners, and self-defense, and denial of who the law-abiding and the criminals are.
This is like the Great Divide of 2008.
My favorite comments so far, all pretty much the same:
“CNN, why don’t you just STFU?”
“STFU you CNN race baiters”
“WTF is wrong with you, CNN?”
Also, I am grateful for Western civilization, too, Votermom! Are we still allowed to say that?? Oh well, loved that tweet.
Everyone loses something when the courts are involved, but at least we didn’t turn this tragedy into a travesty.
