To be honest, I don't think the state cares either way about the verdict. All they had to do to get the race baiters off their case was to try as hard as they possibly could to put Zimmerman in jail. They did, and now their hands are clean.
Breaking: Watching CNN live. Zimmerman's old bald attorney teary eyed just said "I think the prosecution was disgraceful." ... "Anyone who watched this trial knows the defense put on the case. We PROVED Zimmerman was not guilty."
This, right here, is the greatest travesty of the case. The fact that Zimmerman was guilty before proven innocent. I don't care how you feel about Zimmerman being guilty or not guilty, if you are a true American, you must respect the constitutional right to be innocent before proven guilty.
Taxpayers take note - Zimmerman's attorney just stated they would be demanding the state cover the costs of having to acquit Zimmerman, in an upcoming hearing.
