    What I expected. Not guilty.

    Ronald Goldman's family knows how Trayvon Martin's family feels, but will those who protest this verdict feel the same way?

    I thought they'd get the manslaughter.

    So much for the "authorities have asked the judge not to release the verdict on the weekend and do it on Monday instead" rumors that certain websites were spreading.

    If he'd been charged with manslaughter in the first place, the prosecution would've tailored its case for that and had a better chance to draw a conviction.

    Not based on what I saw from the prosecution in this case.

    Worst prosecution work: OJ, Casey Anthony, or George Zimmerman?

    Zimmerman's going to have to find out where Casey Anthony is and live with her. Prison without walls.

    It's OJ. It's not even close. The trophy is named the O.J. Simpson Worst Prosecution Award.

    I think the problem with this case, in addition to the initial over charging, was that the defense put forward sufficient evidence to support the facts required to trigger protection of the Stand Your Ground law.

    Agree, OJ.

    In a final showing of defiance, the prosecutor who never should have brought the case asks to poll the jury.

    It's closer than you think, because it isn't like Zimmerman had Johnnie Cochran defending him. But yeah, OJ is the all-timer.
