This writer from Townhall.com summed the whole ordeal up perfectly:

Conclusion: It's sad that this case has become polluted with politics, racial grievances and wild speculation in the media because the evidence in this case overwhelmingly suggests that it should be considered a tragedy, not a crime.

People are concocting their own storylines - one of them may be true but the prosecution through no fault of their own can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that their storyline nor anybody else's who's thrown one out is fact. The nature of the case and the criminal justice system dictates Zimmerman should walk on all counts.

Remember the system is set up to favor the accused, beyond a reasonable doubt is a huge burden of proof, with this system guilty men go free in the belief that it's better than innocent men going to jail or executed for a crime they didn't commit. how tragic would it be if the burden of proof in criminal trials was the same as in civil trials, the burden of proof only being a preponderance of the evidence. in civil trials a wrong decision only costs somebody money, not their life.
