It still astounds me they have this man back his gun. Zim is very very lucky no one caught that moment on camera. Hopefully he won't be stupid enough to try and auction it off or something.
Who let these Heaux in my thread?

FYI, the juror that came out and spoke (B-37) said that all the jurors agreed that they believed that Zimmerman would have followed anyone that night that was acting in the same way. If 6 jurors thought it wasn't about race, and the prosecution never even brought up the word "racial", then I think there is little to no evidence even suggesting that it was racially motivated.
Zimmerman will get sued in civil court. Unless the judge has cajones the size of Texas, I can't see him/her throwing it out, even if she/he thinks it'll be unsuccessful.
If I were Zimmerman, I'd move to England or some other country. I know that criminal proceedings can take place when a defendant is out of the country (and whereabouts are known), and there can even be extradition proceedings. But, can the US compel someone to pay a civil judgment if they are out of the country?
