I haven't looked or heard any news so far this morning [its early –0900], but it is possible that Zimmerman is not free and clear yet.
I would not be surprised if the Martin family brings a wrongful death suite suit against him. The standard for the civil suite suit to succeed is much lower than a civil criminal trial.
‘Twas the successful civil suite suit that took the smile off OJ Simpson’s face.
I don’t know why there were only six on the jury. Possibly because in the US, locals can decide the numbers of jurors also the number of needed for a conviction.
US juries come up with some very odd decisions – remember Stacey Anthony last year in Florida? same county I think.
Only a month ago a jury in Arizona decided they could not give psycho-killer Jodi Arias [stabbed boy friend 29 times, slashed his throat and shot him in the head] the death penalty, even though they were all asked if they had any problem giving the sentence of death if they found her guilty. In this case it was the jury foreman who backed off!

Colin,
Quite. Up to no good, and black - clearly deserved shooting. And a jury of six? Six on a criminal trial jury? What kind of Florida bullshit is that? If I was up for allegedly stealing a pack of shoelaces I'd have 15 listening to my defence.
As you say, it's open season on black youths carrying things home.
Hugh.
