He was overcharged.
But it also seems the standard for self defense in Florida is incredibly low.
One just has to "feel" like one is in danger.
That's pretty dangerous.
Hope the law gets challenged.
Was OJ guilty? Serious question. I think he was but he walked. There was a lot of hate towards him after. Remember? Why the double standard, AGAIN.
I think Zimmerman is guilty and yes, I hope his life as he knew it is over for killing an unarmed child. Oj...zimmerman....both found not guilty, both guilty in my eyes.
I only hope they both end up the same, side by side.
There was hate toward OJ after he walked? Really? How many death threats did he get after he walked? Did his family and lawyers get threatened?
OJ was a pariah after his acquittal.

What should he have been charged with?
Is there any crime in any state that clearly covers what he did?
It should be a crime to angrily and aggressively follow an innocent minor and then end up killing them. I don't care if the minor chose to attack you.
Criminally negligent manslaughter[edit]
Criminally negligent manslaughter is variously referred to as criminally negligent homicide in the United States, gross negligence manslaughter in England and Wales. In Scotland and some Commonwealth of Nations jurisdictions the offence of culpable homicide might apply.
It occurs where death results from serious negligence, or, in some jurisdictions, serious recklessness. A high degree of negligence is required to warrant criminal liability. A related concept is that of willful blindness, which is where a defendant intentionally puts himself in a position where he will be unaware of facts which would render him liable.
Criminally negligent manslaughter occurs where there is an omission to act when there is a duty to do so, or a failure to perform a duty owed, which leads to a death. The existence of the duty is essential because the law does not impose criminal liability for a failure to act unless a specific duty is owed to the victim. It is most common in the case of professionals who are grossly negligent in the course of their employment. An example is where a doctor fails to notice a patient's oxygen supply has disconnected and the patient dies (R v Adomako).

False. And ridiculous, even for you.
Zimmerman mentored young black students.
Zimmerman took a young black girl to one of his proms.
Zimmerman has black friends.
On Thursday, the Justice Department released a report showing that George Zimmerman, a Florida neighborhood watch guard who is being charged with second degree murder for shooting 17-year-old Travyon Martin while on duty, is not racist.
The report reveals over 30 interviews showing that the Zimmerman is not racist, an argument held strong by prosecutors in charging him with the killing of Martin, an African-American.
FBI agents asked each of the interviewees whether Zimmerman "displayed any bias, prejudice or irrational attitude against any class of citizen, religious, racial, gender or ethnic groups,". The report showed that none of the 30 plus interviewees answered affirmative to show of any bias.
maybe if Zimmerman wrote a (ghosted) book about his "roots" ,
he'd get more slack on that whiteness thing?
Is it the truth?
Zimmerman instigated the situation.
In the end... Martin feared for his life too and was acting in self defense. Zimmerman acted in self defense.
It was so preventable. Nice to see folks smearing Martin as a "thug". He's dead. Can't defend his reputation.
Was Zimmerman wrong to assume a 17 year old was actually a criminal? Yes.
Did that justify Martin jumping him and beating the crap out of him? No.
You are right, it was preventable. Zimmerman could have stayed in his car, and Martin could have gone to his father's house. Both of them were wrong, and Martin will never learn from his mistake.
You left out what occurred between statement one and statement two.
Zimmerman essentially stalked Martin. A 17 yr old black youth being stalked by an unknown adult white man in a racially uneasy area.
Should he have jumped Zimmerman? No.
Was he afraid for his life? Quite possibly.
He made a bad decision in how to defend himself. Apparently.
Should he be blamed for that? No.
But he is. He is labeled a "thug".
He was overcharged.
But it also seems the standard for self defense in Florida is incredibly low.

And hopefully Zimmerman will..Is it the truth?

Which is why they will probably file in a Federal Court.
Florida is fucking nuts.
You are grasping again...
What grounds are their for Federal jurisdiction for a civil trial?
Were Martin or Zimmerman government employees?
Is Twin Lakes community a secret Government installation?
Wait, what?
The fact Florida gives "immunity" to "self defense" cases from Civil Law suits are grounds enough.
In Southern states.
I am sure most of the pro-gun people would support that.
that one can be pursued by an armed private citizen, absent any evidence of wrongdoing, even in the context of racial profiling,
Yup, you can follow people, even if they're black.
And once armed..they can turn around and shoot that person in the face.
Claim it was self defense..and go on Hannity to say it was "God's Will".
I see you've totally degenerated into slobbering incoherence.....well, it was bound to happen.....

Justice was served, a kid lost his life, you know nothing of how the Martins feel.
You are a classless POS.
They are POS for trying to railroad an innocent man in order to gain fame & fortune. They knew the truth, they kicked their own son out of the house. He called himself a gangster & he was not just playing around. He bragged about beating the hell out of snitches like GZ. They are a POS!
It was the US government that brought the trial on. The parents are humans that were hurt and have a pain that will stay with them until the day they die. They loved their child like any parent would.
A lot of people are trying to make the Trevon Martin shooting a story
of a black kid minding his own business being shot in cold blood because he was black.
Such BS....
