what evidence do you have to indicate the jury was wrong?

That person was also not called as a witness.

Odd that you are asking why Harrier wasn't a witness, when you seem to expect Trayvon Martin to testify under oath.

Neither of us would be credible witnesses, and the testimony given at the trial indicated that Zimmerman was assaulted, and that he acted in self defense.

I can't explain anything, I wasn't there. Unless you were you can't either.

Were you on the witness list? Or have you come back to life to tell your side of the story?

Why is it so hard to believe Zimmerman? There were witnesses of more than 1 race that came to his defense and told of his past good deeds. It has now come to light that he risked his life to pull people from a burning car while a lynch mob is after him.

Have you really never met a good Samaritan in your life? I know there aren't many and I'm sure there will be even fewer now, thanks to people that can't wrap their head around this.

Martin's star witness said he threw a punch. She said nothing about Zimmerman's gun. Zimmerman passed a lie detector test.

It seems like there are numerous paranoid druggies out there or a lot of lemmings that will believe wild accusations and see an innocent man go to jail to advance their cause.

Exactly, you can't explain anything! In fact, you can't even formulate a plausible theory. So why do you have such extreme opinions about GZ's guilt if you literally have no idea what happened and can't even hypothesize what might have happened based on any of the evidence or testimony?

Zimmerman didn't know that any more than idiotic Trayvon knew George was armed. And since everyone knows, or should know, that one punch to the head can kill, your argument is silly.

As so many have said, don't take Skittles to a gun fight.

So the shooter and the girl who wasn't there said Martin got away, guess that is the story you have bought into.

Gotta love those who post and neither listened to the tape nor watched the trial.

A better question is, why didn't the right-to-carry crowd, who seem eager to use any and every violent incident possible to bolster their cause, point to Trayvon Martin as an example of someone who might have survived had he been armed? Makes you wonder...
