I would've liked to see Zimmermann at least get reckless endangerment or something.
Pretty fricked up you can KILL an unarmed person with a gun - who's smaller than you - and call it self defense.

It's fine to disagree with the law, but it is the law down there and it's what you have to go by.

The bottom line is that the evidence wasn't sufficient for a conviction.
We can't go around finding people guilty of something just to satisfy our desire for justice. Even guilty men should get off if the evidence is insufficient to convict them.
The prosecution was HEAVILY relying on the emotional appeal of an unarmed kid killed by a scary man with a gun, but there was very little substance to their case. No matter how "bad" it may seem to find him not guilty, it was the only thing the jury could do.
