>> That's right.......and that's why he didn't get convicted. The jury could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt because the evidence was scanty even though their were murdered individuals. Same with the Zimmerman trial. You idiot. Everyone, EVERYONE, agreed that the OJ case was jury nullification. Everyone. The Zimmerman case was the polar opposite of jury nullification -- this jury was clearly very competent and methodical in its observance of the law. You don't know shit.

The key difference between the Zimmerman case and the OJ case was not whether someone could get away with murder or not but whether or not a murder had been committed. In the OJ case everyone agrees a murder had been committed. Many believe OJ got away with murder, In the Zimmerman case no murder was committed and Zimmerman was rightfully found innocent of any wrong doing. Some people are disappointed by that verdict because another verdict would have helped to polarize political voting venues. And some still hope to stir up racial hatred to that end ... you for instance. The disappointment for politicos like you is understood. Its very likely that some people will reconsider their political allegiance after this. Zimmerman mentored black children and identified with the community of mixed race. Many will rightfully see him as a martyr and role model.
