Verdict is in

[BrownRice]

I haven't followed this on WS and haven't really had an opinion one way or another. BUT am surprised there is such division here on ws. Usually everyone is always pro-state. Interesting.

 

[Hopeful One]

Where are Trayvon's parents??

 

[PaperDoll]

this is a sad day for the martin family, my heart goes out to them..

I feel for them, I really do many hugs and prayers for them ...

 

[Hope32]

He just has NO emotion.... He still has a flat affect... I mean he cracked a small smile, but I feel there is something that is going on mentally with him..... MOO

Thank goodness the jury members understood and followed the law-the state did not prove a d**m thing! Whether anyone likes it or not the law is the law! JMO

God help Florida..

 

[Dewey2Me1MoThyme]

I'm happy the Z is free.

No justice for Trayvon. I'm so sorry for his family, and for the citizenry as a whole. Apparently, it's open season out there to shoot unarmed innocent teenagers. The world has gone mad.:facepalm:

 

[Marigold]

Not guilty. Thank you Lord

I didn't know what to predict. You never know what the jury is going to do.

Especially in Florida...

 

[katydid23]

Damn, Georgie is a stone! Almost zero reaction.

I am sure his attorneys warned him NOT TO REACT happily if he was acquitted. That will only inflame the crowds. JMO

 

[Suthrnqt]

Manslaughter as well?

Yes.... NOT GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER!!!!!!!

:scared:

 

[Cherry]

Florida has lost it.

 

[Nezumi]

Thang god and thank you jury!!!

Dear ladies of the jury: I apologize for doubting that, as women, you could be reason free from emotion in such a very, sincerely, tragic case. Thank you for doing so. Thank you for your service and eating "on the job" to get 'er done. You are courageous considering the public outrage this verdict might cause - you are brave, wise and I'm proud, right now more than ever, to be a woman!!!!

ITA. I was concerned with the manslaughter question the jury is going to try to go for compromise verdict. I am relieved that didn't happen.

 

[Herding Cats]

To those who feel this is an unjust verdict...not one of these posters here feel less than anything other than tremendous sadness for Trayvon and his family. Please remember that...I am sad that this ever had to happen, and sad that a family is missing their son, and that the world will never know what a wonderful man Trayvon would have matured into.

So please remember that...

(And yes, I'm taking liberties posting on behalf of everyone who is relieved about this verdict...but I believe it's true).

Best-
Herding Cats

Self-defense.

But if he never got out of his car there would be nothing .

I've stayed away from trials since JA, I told myself I wouldn't watch another, but I just saw the verdict. As a Floridian, it's heart crushing to see justice being denied for yet another innocent Florida child.

By the way I want to point out MOM did a great job.
