If he is acquitted it will be a shout out to all pudgy vigilantes who let their mouths overload their a$$.
If this was a TV crime drama Zimmerman would have been wearing a members only jacket, (they always put the loser in a members only jacket)

Hehe. I don't see any evidence that can back Z's story. All pointing to the other way. :-)

From what I know, Z pulled out an assault rifle, shooting and chasing T-man around the blocks and finally cornered him into a dead end, then murdered him in cold blood with a porcelain Glock9mm that is worth more than what you make in a month. During the chase, he fell and he his nose on the butt of his assault rifle. He then lied down on the ground and banged his own head on the concrete to create some minor scratches before he called the police.

It can't any more clear than that.

Might want to consider the converse of that sentiment as a more likely outcome...

converse (noun): a statement that is the reverse of another, or that corresponds to it but with certain terms transposed.

You all are joking, right? Responses like this are satire, no, because this trial is such a joke?

Just saw your edit.

There is sufficient (though not airtight) evidence that GZ acted in self-defense, to create a "reasonable doubt" about the act being either 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.

So GZ will be acquitted.

The Forensic expert confirmed that Trayvon was shot at close range.

Period!

He also confirmed that Zimmerman was correct in believing that Trayvon might still try to escape after being shot in the heart, because he might have up to 10 minutes to seek medical help.

That's a good thing. I never understood how one can be found not guilty of
murder, yet have to pay financially for the rest of their life like they were
convicted. Isn't this contrary to the spirit of "double jeopardy"?
Double Jeopardy only applies to criminal cases, not civil. They could sue for wrongful death.

Z's own blood on the gun's grip will likely negate any such claim.
