The fact is he identified Martin as suspicious before he was certain of his race and it was the dispatcher who brought race into the conversation.
As I have stated since the beginning this case should never have gone to trial. No unbiased jury would ever convict and our jury selection system works pretty well.
Zimmerman should have been convicted of manslaughter as he never should have confronted Martin in the first place. The police told him to go back to his car and he ignored a direct order, not to mention he called Martin an "a**hole that always gets away" claiming he was committing crimes with no reason to believe so, plus called him a "f*cking punk" If this isn't clearly race based, I don't know what is.
These events with the surrounding outside political pressure to prosecute indicate a dangerous shift in our "justice system". The Z case demonstrates that. Most anyone can see that.
Fortunately, the system still held fast and true, and the jury did a conscientious job. Most of us knew this was trumped up p.c. and that the the prosecution had insufficient proof. The Jury confirmed it. Thankfully, the system still works.
Although I agree with nearly all of what you've posted, I disagree that "most" people recognized the dangerous shift our "justice system" has suffered, or that "most" people realized the charges against Z were trumped up p.c. BS.
Just read these threads. There are innumerable people very easily swayed by the media's and the current admin's agenda-driven propaganda campaigns, actual facts be damned.
We are supposed to assume that because GZ is a poor fighter and started something he couldn't finish that he had every right to end the black teens life.
5 white women and 1 hispanic woman agreed.
This was the Jury that the states Prosecutors picked.
Honestly, I wouldn't expect much from the DOJ. They were involved from the onset of the arrest, and they were desperately trying to tie a civil rights suit to this, but they could not find anything.
DOJ didn't find support for a hate crime based on interviews. They can now look again at the trial evidence and harass gz for violating tm's civil rights.
If gz is still in the country, he should get on a plane today for an undisclosed location.

A SUGGESTION from a NON-EMERGENCY DISPATCHER, not a direct order from the police. But hey don't let little things like facts get in the way.

The facts are that it is leans to Zimmerman that he did not confront Martin, that Martin came back and confronted Zimmerman. It can't be proven but then you are left with reasonable doubt. Those who wanted a guilty verdict did not want justice, they wanted revenge.
