George Zimmerman Verdict in Trayvon Martin Case Is Read in Court
/ thenewyorktimes
Look at the physical evidence, lack of marks on Trayvon. As Zimmerman was going back to his car, he was attacked, look at the injuries on Zimmerman.
Not only was their a lack of evidence suggesting he killed Trayvon in cold blood, there was evidence against it. I'm not sure what you're suggesting here, but I see nothing wrong with the conduct of the people in that court.
'he was protecting himself' my fucking ass, if he really wanted to protect himself he wouldn't have followed him in the first place. This is all truly disgusing.
10 yrs ago today, an innocent man avoided jail time for defending himself.
Zimmerman shouldn't have followed Trayvon, but Trayvon shouldn't have attacked Zimmerman.
Fully agree.
@chrisjohnson-4346 You weren't there either and yet, the facts are on my side.
If you think someone should get locked up for defending themselves (i.e. Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse), you're against social justice and you need mental help.
@chrisjohnson-4346 I'm still telling the truth.
George Floyd was a real victim. Trayvon Martin was a fake victim.
@chrisjohnson-4346, yet the facts bear out self defense or at a minimum, they add a lot of reasonable doubt that it was a cold blooded murder.
seems like only thing GZ was guilty of was getting his butt kicked by a kid....but only God and George know....@@MJFan625Moonwalker
not guilty? seriously? he got not guilty verdict? he initiated a conflict and killed a kid.. hes not guilty? what a sham of a justice system
The Simpson case has no relation to this. This was a stranger on stranger crime not domestic violence involving a well known public figure. If you were followed by a stranger in a car while walking home, then he gets out and physically confronts you, would you not defend yourself as Trayvon Martin did, then during the attack on your person he pulls out a gun and shoots you. Would you then agree that the stranger who had followed you in his car was merely defending himself from you?
my problem isnt with the zimmerman or anyone else. its the law that i dont understand. its basically saying that someone could be minding their own business, be doing the right thing,get shot and the person who shot them could claim self-defense. i don't understand that.
Michael Bowman bingo
You have the media spin and not the facts. Facts prove he was innocent.
Whoever defends zimmerman is messed up. If Trayvon would've killed Zimmerman instead of Zimmerman killing him they would've put that boy on death row n all of yall ppl on here know that is true.
Another example of media bias and malicious prosecution
And people still believe the lies.
Lets just look at the the real obvious evidence that, there was a young guy who went to the shops to by soda, and a older guy walking around with a gun. i bet if it was trayvon with the gun, all you people would not be supporting him. Zimmerman was confident to follow someone, so for all we know he could have approached trayvon, but we only have zimmermans story and not trayvon, he got away lightly.
Trayvon had the greater hand in his own demise!
Justice has been served.
a young kid is dead , and there was no justice , but there will be justice in the eyes of GOD , no matter what you say or think
Eleven years have passed. Zimmerman's living a good life and Trayvon is worm food. All is in balance in the world.
From a non-emotional perspective, the Prosecution didn't want the case & did a poor job.
1.) Ms. Jeantel should NEVER been put on as a Pros witness.
2.) This was a "detail case" & every bit of material from the cellphone should have been introduced.
3.) Pros should have made Manslaughter case; NOT Murder 2
4.) PD officers at scene should have been questioned more carefully.
5.) Emotional appeals should have been kept away from dialog.
6.) President should NEVER have made any statement re case.
Your #3 - Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin in SELF-DEFENSE. You can't get a manslaughter conviction if there is no unjustified killing.
You're kidding. What if you ran out of gas and had to walk home. Could you be considered "LURKING" just because you were walking at night?
And they said that America is land of Freedom😂
I'm sure he'll appreciate that but that must be a sad way to live out your life. Hiding from society. I guess he's really not that free after all.
Trayvon Martin may have dressed a certain way but profiling him as a thug is not right he did absolutly nothing wrong and was shot to death people seem to forget that everyday someone is judged by their what color they are,what they wear,how the speak their is always judging how about trying to see facts and learning to get to know someone before u judge them the Martin family has to live without the son and knowing that there was no Justice for their son. George Zimmerman was clearly guilty.
You're an intellectually challenged person.. Trayvon didn't do anything wrong until he ATTACKED Zimmerman.
i really don't understand America. i just don't.
mayamaya , I do. Hooray for the US.
Yeah many private citizens aren’t entitled to self defense from criminals around the world.

Truly Disgusting
The child was attacking him. He was proven to have some violence in his past. If someone was trying to hurt me I would defend myself too.
Yup.
I remember those skittles were for that lean he was going to make
Crazy how the news can paint a picture

Great day for justice
OJ walked out the court a free black man. Why people still angry about it?
Because the evidence, witness testimonies, and crime scene evidence literally pointed to him being the murder
However the case was so botched, it was basically a mistrial due to it
Not that I really care since it's a mud shark, and a Goldstein who died @@msa6844
THIS IS NOT RIGHT THIS ISNT U NOW HOW MUCH PAIN TRAYVONS FAMILY IS IN THIS WASNT NO FREAKING SELF DEFENSIVE U SAW A BLACK MALE WITH A HOODIE A SHOOT HIM REALLY YALL LET HIM GO REALLY THIS ISNT RIGHT AND IM PISSED AT HOW IS IS NOT GUILTY!!! WTF THIS MAKES ME SICK IM REALLY PISSED
So pretty much a neighborhood-watch guy followed a 17yo that went out to buy skittles and iced tea. After calling the police and informing the operator that he's following someone who he thought looked on drugs, the operator tells him they didn't need him to follow him and they sent a patrol; the guy confronts the teenager regardless who defends himself against a stranger that was following him. The stranger is found not guilty by every juror because of Florida law and now guilty-neighborhood-watch-guy is suing the parents of the kid that was just tryna get some skittles and iced tea for 100 mil.
R.I.P. Trayvon Martin
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Voltaire
Yes I agree, believing Zimmerman was ever guilty in the first place was absurd.
@@chadchadson3894 Bu-but caucasians are all evil and he stalked that poor innocent black kid, then killed him out of cold blood! By the way, don't bother telling me to watch video evidences, I know exactly who Zimmerman is (picture white tatooed bald neo-nazi with Ar-15) 'whisper' evil
Not when Zimmerman followed and attacked him! Gimme a break. This wasn't a situation where Trayvon Martin broke into Zimmerman's home and threatened him with a weapon. If that were the case then I'd say that Zimmerman would have been justified in using deadly force. But the FACT IS: that didn't happen. Zimmerman, after following him in his car, got out, confronted and attacked a kid who was minding his own business, walking home.
He has a noble and upstanding countenance as well ... which always tells a story ...
The evidence doesn't indicate that Trayvon was innocent. He assaulted a man.
Shame on the Jury, I don't know how these women can watch themselves in a mirror !
All of the evidence of self defense. Easy verdict.
Innocent
George Zimmerman's not remotely Jewish and there is no such thing as a 'klan's hood'.
It seems obvious to assume the guy with the broken nose was on the bottom screaming for help for 40+ seconds, before he finally ended the beating with his firearm. And that is why this should not have gone to trial. Now look at all the trouble because of weak public servants firing strong ones.
It's not just black racists but anyone who feels that a man who takes away the life of child should not walk free
who cares if he would have been white.we wold still have heared about it.Many people think he is guilty if you are one of the idiots who agrees with the verdict good for you. It's funny you tell me not to judge before I get to know zimmerman but u are judging me and u dont even know me... so who r u to say that. Im judging zimmerman but why I do not about him,what I know about the story ans what I know by experience just his call to the cops about a suspicious man walking around.Trayvon
Actually crime results from a number of factors such as drugs, alcohol, peer pressure & no morals. None of which has anything to do with poverty, there have been billions of poor people throughout history who've never committed crimes.
This is just common sense, Zimmerman's out there, with a gun, looking to confront a 6' black guy who he's obviously nervous about. Yes, it's 'his fault' for creating the situation, but there's just no plausible scenario where Zimmerman would have initiated the physical confrontation, if anything he would have just pulled his gun then and there. All the evidence shows that Martin initiated the physical confrontation, Zimmerman was an asshole, but he didn't break the law.
His eyes too close together and he still has blood on his hands!! Guilty AF!!
No tf lol
@@matthewbrown8111 yes tf lol
The entire thing would not have happened if George didn’t approach Trayvon. I myself, George Zimmerman and many others would have wished for that in hindsight. However, simply approaching someone and asking a question is not illegal nor unjust. There is a reason why this guy was acquitted of the charges. Because Trayvon was a young black man should play ABSOLUTELY no role when looking at the evidence and reaching a conclusion to the verdict. Unfortunately, many emotionally charged demented people don’t understand this.. they would rather focus on the fact that Trayvon was a young BLACK man. That’s all that some really care about, and this whole frame of thinking needs to be stopped ASAP!
You're so absolutely right.
Well done USA!!! Not because he was black but because he was a kid! U have any idea how terrified he must have been when this full grown man was attacking him for reasons unknown to him? Well fucken done!
We all know that he approached Trayvon...however we don't know who was the first to physically assault the other. That's what this is about. Zimmerman shouldn't have verbally confronted Trayvon, but since we don't know who started the physical confrontation (who threw the first "punch"), then you can't throw him in jail.
Chris Hebert How do you know George approached Trayvon? Trayvon ran and was out of sight for 4 min. Confirmed by when George told the dispatcher he is running. And Trayvon told Racheal Jeantel on the phone I am running. Then told Racheal that I am by daddy's back door. 4 min until the first 911 call comes in about hearing a scuffle. So exactly how does George approach Trayvon when he did not know where Trayvon was. But somehow Trayvon ended up going back to the T-intersection. So it looks like Trayvon went back, confronted and attacked George. That's the evidence presented in court. Not Guilty. The lawful use of deadly force in self defense.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
A jury deliberated for more than 15 hours before finding George Zimmerman not guilty
The not guilty verdict means the jury of six women found Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense
The verdict brings to a close a case that has gripped the nation since the shooting in February 2012
@@dantheman7145 It wasn’t Self Defense dummy
@@dantheman7145 it was never his fault. Zimmerman was given clear instructions by the dispatcher NOT to go after Trayvon. Trayvon was scared, as he was a CHILD.
Black thug??? He was a KID, with nothing but a bag of skittles and a sweet tea! Profiling ass
Why shouldn't cities and states be able to make their own laws concerning firearms? The justice system of the US is among the most fair and equitable in the world.
God has poor Trayvon's back,he's going to kill Zimmerman anyway.
Unlikely
He killed a 17 year old man who physically assaulted him.
What rights aren't black people given?
the " "race card" its still a issue while a country doesn´t give black people the rigths they deserve as humans and citizens
martin DID defend himself against an armed assailant....and was shot to death for his trouble.
Remeber the L.A. riots and a gentleman named Reginald Denny that was pulled from his truck and beaten by blacks because the police beat a guy named Rodney king who was later arrested for smoking crack. Denny had nothing to do with that and the poor guy was pulled from his work truck and beaten- but I guess that is ok.
It's a sad case. George Zimmerman was rightfully acquitted as I believed he would be. The incident was really began when the fistfight ensued and that's when the jury decided Zimmerman was fighting for his life. What would have any other person have done? She should he have waited until he was incapacitated? Race? George has Latin blood. Who were the people perpetrating the crimes in his neighborhood? Chinese? White? Profiling happens every day but the facts have to do with stand your ground.
So, as with every other opinion you hold, you are mistaken that he broke the law by 'not following police protocol'.
Misanthropic Mystery, where are you getting your info about Trayvon having a backpack of stolen items? He was just a regular kid walking home after buying candy and a soft drink.
What the evidence said nothing about was who started the fight.
The fact that Zimmerman was losing the fight doesn't make him innocent. All we know is that Martin was innocently chatting on the phone and somebody somehow got him involved in an altercation.
Murder splits the soul don’t think he has one karma will come for him in the long run
Self defense is not murder.
George Zimmerman did nothing wrong that night.
George Zimmerman did nothing unlawful or illegal that night.
Trayvon Martin instigated and escalated the events that led to his death that night.
@@truthonly5716 It was murder dummy
@@kjs257incpen3 no it wasn't lol

You’re just jealous we Hispanic people have the right to defend ourselves. Trayvon Martin made a mistake attacking Mr Zimmerman.
Don't be racist and don't fool yourself. this is about guns... and "law obedient" cowboys who are legal protected if they kill children.
Bottom line. He was tried and found not guilty. Case closed.
Zimmerman should have been tried for involuntary manslaughter not murder 2... thats not murder two however Zimmerman obviously killed poor trayon for no fault of trayvons
Apparently Zimmerman killed an aeronautical egineer..
And that's only if Trayvon eventually turned his life around. In reality, no one knows.
What about all that interracial rape and mugging that goes on up there? ...
If the cops would do their job then we the people would not.
Stand your ground brother ...
like is this a game, like regular people decided whether or not a murderer goes to jail in a case like this only real judges, real lawyers, real prosecutors should be the only ones on the case and deciding the verdict, '' The jury pool, also known as the venire, is first selected from among the community using a reasonably random method'' ''The prospective jurors are randomly selected to sit in the jury box''
Really. So you're saying that you will NEVER be in Trayvon Martin's shoes where you could be targeted? Hmm. Good luck with reality - there are no guarantees in life. If it happens someday and you find yourself being followed - enjoy the moment of realization where you remember this post - "I told you so."
your people will end up as slaves,the same wickedness and injustice you have served the whole world will be dished out to you,its only a matter of time.
Well.. That is severely disappointing.. America is failing at all sides this year.
what in the world does a cow have to do with George Zimmerman's Not Guilty verdict?
At worst, he's guilty of disobeying a police officer, but please, tell me more about what you'd do if some idiot was trying to cave your skull in.
Self defense ≠ murder.
Poor Trayvon: he was going home...from a store. He didn't want to die!
He shouldn't have attacked Zimmerman then and he may still be around today
The unfairness of life everyone. Life is nothing if not unfair, while a young black teenager never gets to travel the world, never gets to meet his kids for the first time, is killed without good reason, there is a fat evil man breathing air he has no right to, is walking around as free as the birds while Trayvon will never see the light of day again, the unfairness of life.
Not that Nordic or Latin or Slavonic women are actually white skinned but you know what I'm saying ...
He was physically assaulted, how is that not self defense?
There's nothing illegal about being a wanna-be cop or talking to people on the street.
Martin's the one who broke the law by escalating a verbal interaction to a physical confrontation.
Self defense wins
Simple. Zimmerman got away with murder. If he had stayed in the car as directed by 911, Trayvon would be alive today. Trayvon's last momments must of been terrifying. An unknown adult male was after him for reasons unknown to him.
FACTS? You weren't there when the fight started and have only ZImmerman's version of the story to base your opinion on - so, no, you do not have all of the facts.
Why because he protected himself ? Just your opinion.
Zimmerman's not even white ...
one thing we will agree, the stalker creep couldn't handle a child so he murder him - that's the truth.
It's not a movie is a book, that is the most comprehensive/impartial/objective study ever undertaken to determine the origins of so-called Patriachal Culture -- (mean tings like Slavery and pederacy yeah?) -- and lo and behold, the same people who invented FGM invented it, i.e. misoginy and slavery, and child abuse, down in Sudan, and Niger, and Chad, in 4000 bc, and you're descended from them. Sorry 'bout that. Truth hurts right? ...
It's actually the complete opposite. The facts of the case are crystal clear, yes Zimmerman's an asshole, yes, he's a wannabe cop, yes he profiled Trayvon Martin. None of that is illegal, the only person who broke the law that night was Martin, when he escalated the verbal interaction to a physical confrontation.
There has been a lot of media bias in this case and the vast majority has been against Zimmerman.
its just a human life taken for no reason , it doesnt matter if its black or White
Yet you can only argue with insults and not the facts of the case.
Zimmerman's nose was broken and the back of his head was bashed in. Race doesn't enter into why I believe Martin initiated the physical confrontation, it's just common sense. Zimmerman had a gun, he had no reason to physically assault Martin.
the excuses you make. well, I hope karma shows you why this was wrong someday when something terrible happens to you...
trayvon would have just ended up in prison. saved us all a lot of money in the long run.
Edy VanHalen say this exact same comment after you identify your son
that child is 6'0 ft tall.. if anything you could call that a big baby
How could anyone look at Zimmerman and think he's normal with those close eyes. He's mentally off... We have become too sensitive in calling a duck a duck. No matter the race... When someone is off, they are usually way off...
What does that have to do with the fact that Zimmerman followed Martin and initiated the confrontation? Wouldn't you defend yourself against a stranger who had followed you then attacked you? If, during the fight you ended up on top of the guy that wouldn't change the fact that he started the fight.
hes not even mexican hes a jew
Embarrassing
okay these racist comments are getting tired.
What goes around come around 10x harder. I personally met a man. That expressed he killed someone.. 20 years later his grand daughter killed in a car accident and son killed for ransom.
The stand you ground law is the problem because under the law if Martin had killed Zimmerman he would also have been protected. Whoever wins the gun battle is then amnestied regardless of whether they started the fight or not. Anyone can carry a gun start fights and shoot any person they feel is a threat with no need to try to deescalate the problem.
Yes, well the fact that 'he suffered no bruises I am aware of' just shows that you didn't follow the facts of the case at all.
Zimmerman's nose was broken and the back of his skull was cut up from hitting the concrete.
Google the photos of Zimmerman if you're actually interested in the facts.
That is a collection of statistics that completely ignore factors like poverty, drug addiction, and other very important factors in committing crime. It would be like saying gay men commit 500% more sodomy than straight men. While it might be true, there are other factors than the men being gay or straight.
Sadly, you're not the only business owner who is racist. And the impact on the black community is devastating.
Rent a cop was neighbourhood watch but couldn’t remember the name of the street ?
its racist, not rasict. sheesh.
absolute great news, i am pleased to hear he beat the case.. you should all be sick, its clear the man was defending himself.
ogjuggalo4545 defending himself in an altercation he created by himself. There was no need for him to follow Trayvon and he was also instructed by the police to not follow the Trayvon. Yet he went above what was necessary to create a situation which would OBVIOUSLY frustrate Trayvon. Had he not followed Trayvon unnecessarily this whole mess would not have happened. Don’t be selective about information, that only just shows you’re supporting Zimmerman for unbecoming reasons
But the murder was in self defense which was the issue at heart of the prosecution. Simply being followed isn't enough of a reason for one to apply close to mortal violence on someone.

i've been thinking the same thing all day. of course, it's hard to give a truly fair statement considering we weren't there and the only account of the night was from zimmerman himself, but how else can you judge this case? so i, like you, agree with the verdict, unless of course new evidence suggests otherwise.
You sound dumb he shouldn’t have been killed
Great. Truth prevailed. Great defence. Should never have been prosecuted. Legitimate self defence
We must remember obviously this verdict doesn't say nor does it imply that George Zimmerman is 100% innocent, only that he wasn't, beyond ALL reasonable doubt, guilty. He will serve his time eventually. For every action there is good and bad karma.
He will serve NO time. The evidence SHOWED he was not guilty of unlawful homicide, and that Trayvon attacked him. Period. The jury got this one RIGHT.
Very sad day for blacks that time 🤭
