Actually, the jury found no such thing. The jury found him not guilty, no more, no less. They made no factual finding of self defense or any other factual finding. In fact, some of the jurors later indicated to the press that they believed him to be guilty, but felt the State simply had not met its burden of a proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
It is correct to say that the jury found him not guilty. It is not correct to attribute anything else officially to the jury, as they made no such findings.
George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you canāt get away from God. And at the end of the day, heās going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with." She said that as the jury began deliberations, she wanted to convict Zimmerman of second-degree murder, and she held to her position that Zimmerman should be found guilty even after all the other jurors had decided to find him not guilty.[223] However, she said that after nine hours of deliberations, she realized that there was not enough evidence to convict Zimmerman under Florida law: āAs the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you canāt say heās guiltyā¦you canāt put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty.ā
By the way, they established at trial that Zimmerman killed him intentionally. He admitted to it in his statements to the detectives at the scene, at the PD, during the walk throughs, again and again.
I didnāt say you did in the case of Zimmerman. I said that in the case of Amazon, you DO declare wrongdoing even though there probably isnāt anything legal going on, but you refuse to in this case because āhe followed the law and was found not guilty.ā
Do people who say all of these bad things about Travon Martin have any love in your hearts for him?
Do people who say all of these bad things about George Zimmerman have any love in their hearts for him.
Do we all have love in our hearts and just not know how to express it?
Are people in the media too abstract to us to have any real feelings at all?
I include myself in these questions.
Iām just pondering this morning how beautiful life could be if we all loved one another.
I know itās hard in the daily grind to remember we are all humans inhabiting the same planet. Each of us will leave this planet when our lives are over and none of our differences will matter any longer.
Every day is a new day and a new chance to become loving people who can love a person even though we think they were in the wrong.
I can only do my part and I donāt know if I will be successful. I know I have failed in he past.
There was no such implication, Vaard was reacting to the prior posts so I asked him.
I donāt ājustify Zimmermanās actions because he was found innocentā I called this case from the start, he acted in lawful self defense.
Once the police said the evidence supported his version of the story and the witnesses to the beating came forward it was over.
My personal opinion of Zimmerman as a man or a person are irrelevant, he acted in lawful self defense.
Iāve said repeatedly he did a lot of things wrong that night and never should have put himself in that position to start with but thatās irrelevant. We all have an inherent and legal right to self defense and he acted on it lawfully.
Millions act in self defense every day. Sometimes itās lawful, sometimes itās not. Iām speaking of āLawfulā self defense, rather than āunlawful self defenseā.
I did and it found nowhere as a legal definition. Self defense is either justified or it is not but the qualifier ālawfulā was never uttered in this case nor is it ever. That qualifier is something you are adding to make the incident sound more innocuous than it was
