NOT GUILTY DOESN'T MEAN INNOCENT, IT MEANS A JURY OR JUDGE COULDN'T FIND YOU GUILTY. END OF STORY.

Of course this is also the same state which basically let Casey Anthony off because detectives forgot to search the history of other browsers on her computer.
Quote:
WKMG reports that sheriff's investigators pulled 17 vague entries only from the computer's Internet Explorer browser, not the Mozilla Firefox browser commonly used by Casey Anthony. More than 1,200 Firefox entries, including the suffocation search, were overlooked.
Whoever conducted the Google search looked for the term "fool-proof suffication," misspelling "suffocation," and then clicked on an article about suicide that discussed taking poison and putting a bag over one's head.
The browser then recorded activity on the social networking site MySpace, which was used by Casey Anthony but not her father.
A computer expert for Anthony's defense team found the search before the trial. Her lead attorney, Jose Baez, first mentioned the search in his book about the case but suggested it was George Anthony who conducted the search after Caylee drowned because he wanted to kill himself.

Florida has it's own brand of justice and typically it includes incompetence and often outright corruption.
I don't strongly disagree with the verdict (the state lacked evidence) but I see a very high probability that GZ lied about some things and his story doesn't completely add up. I don't believe he got away with murder but I believe he got away with lying to police, Slandering Trayvon, and covering up his own bad decisions and cowardice.
