Have you reviewed those instructions, and analyzed them from a legal perspective? Has the issue of jury instructions been raised by people in the "know"?
The accusation would be that Zimmerman choose to use deadly force specifically because Martin was dark-skinned, i.e., that he wouldn't have done so if he was white.
While it would be embarrassing, it is indeed possible for a black man to commit a racial civil rights violation against a black man. In this case, that convolution isn't even applicable: Zimmerman was Hispanic, not black.
It's NOT!
I hope Zimmerman sues the crap out of everyone....News/DOJ/The Martin's and the President...ya ya I know someone will say you can't sue the President, well the moment he said "If I had a son he could look like Trayvan" is the moment he can be sued!. Same way the a**hole in chief opened his fat trap about the Cambridge police incident and was proven wrong on that.
Idiot!
How many blacks have been killed by other blacks since this whole Zimmerman incident happened???
Thousands!!!! so were is the outrage from the president and all the other race hounds!
Please tell me the liberals aren't going after trials and trying to ban juries by our peers. They want to get rid of everything else, it seems. No free speech, no freedom from illegal search and seizure, no freedom of religion, no right to bear arms, no right to vote, no taxation without representation.
I don't understand the outrage. I don't agree with the verdict, but what are people demanding from our government?
Since the 1960s, the federal government has had the option of pursuing civil suits in cases where state courts failed to convict defendants. This option was created because state courts in the South would routinely acquitted whites who committed crimes against blacks and civil rights workers.

What like " we remind you that Martin was black and Zimmerman is white Hispanic (emphasis on White), so in this case justice can not be colorblind or else black folk and liberals will be unhappy and show ignorance and stupidity"
First the Martin supporters said they just wanted Zimmerman to get arrested...got it. Then wanted day in court, got it via bypassing grand jury. Now Zimmerman was found not guilty so they want ANOTHER trial. They just keep moving the bar.
Good point about the Grand Jury ..... few remember (and it wasn't widely reported) that a Grand Jury was scheduled for April 10 to see if the evidence in the Martin killing supported charges against Zimmerman - the Special Prosecutor cancelled the Grand Jury and charged him with 2nd degree murder.
This whole thing was presented by the media as a case that was being ignored - that was never true.
