Florida - George Zimmerman is not guilty of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida jury decided late Saturday.

The fact that Zimmerman fired the bullet that killed Martin was never in question, but the verdict means the six-person jury had reasonable doubt that the shooting amounted to a criminal act.

The verdict caps a case that has inflamed passions for well over a year, much of it focused on race and gun rights.

The jury — made up of all women — had three choices: to find Zimmerman guilty of second-degree murder; to find him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter; or to find him not guilty.  Full Article    Sharpton: ‘Slap in the Face to Those Who Believe in Justice in This Country’   NAACP Is ‘Outraged And Heartbroken,’ And Will Pursue ‘Civil Rights Charges’  Against George Zimmerman    Zimmerman is a marked man and lives in fear for his life   Protests of Zimmerman verdict
