In the face of prosecutorial shenanigans and judicial bias, the jurors deciding the Zimmerman case did their jobs, and a not guilty verdict was reached on both counts – second-degree murder and manslaughter, Saturday night.

Al Sharpton promised on MSNBC that Trayvon Martin’s family will pursue a civil case against George Zimmerman and he will be calling on the DOJ to reopen their case to see if there are any civil rights violations.
“We will be moving forward to what the next steps will be,” he said incitefully.
Defense attorney Mark O’Mara, for his part said, “If someone sues George Zimmerman “we will seek and we WILL GET immunity” for him.”
“Two systems failed… the prosecutor & the media.” ~ Mark O’Mara (paraphrased) ~ re: #ZimmemanTrial

Hey Al – Trayvon’s skittles and pop purchase may not have been quite as innocent as you make out.

State Attorney Angela Corey fans the flames:
Corey was asked by the media why she decided to push for the second-degree murder charge.
“We charged what we believed we could prove,” Corey said.
Corey added that there is no doubt that Trayvon was profiled.
The State Attorney said it was “challenging” to take over a case that had been investigated already but stressed her opinion that the Sanford Police Department did not botch the case.
Corey said she, along with the prosecution, believed that Trayvon was behind the screams that were heard on the 911 call.
“Screams stop the moment the shot is fired,” Corey said.
Corey called it a “common sense” piece of evidence.
Isn’t it common sense to figure that the person getting pummeled on the ground would be the one screaming for help? And the second his gun went off, there was no longer any reason to scream?
Why is Corey peddling this nonsense?
