Exactly. The prosecution did a remarkable job of completely fucking up this case. They really made themselves look like idiots time and time again and had no substantial evidence to convict anyone. It was embarrassingly bad. The jury had no alternative but to find him not guilty based on the prosecution's piss poor job.
It's not entirely their fault, they had no case. They couldn't find a single witness who could unequivocably say that Zimmerman was the aggressor and Martin was being overpowered because, quite simply, that's not what happened. I mean, when you think about "innocent until proven guilty" how in the hell can the Prosecution go to trial without a witness who can testify in your argument's favor? That means they had NO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE to support their theory. You're gonna get a conviction based on that loose of a case?
Trayvon Martin was a punk and he attacked George Zimmerman because he was mad that Zimmerman was following him, and he got shot for it.
Not happy he died, but what happened to him that night is his own fault.
Then again, the only reason the case went to trial was racism. That is to say, the Police Chief down there looked at the evidence, correctly predicted there was no case at all and that Zimmerman was justified in defending himself, and then the racist US Justice Department and a bunch of racist protest groups put pressure on the county to fire the police chief and bring in someone who would charge Zimmerman.
So we wasted a lot of time and effort for a jury to prove exactly what most of us already knew the night after it happened.
