[quote=livinincali]This is in interesting case when you see how people reacted to it. The logic and facts clearly indicated that Zimmerman was not guilty of 2nd degree murder or manslaughter. On the other hand the media clearly built up an emotional response in the public which has led people to believe Zimmerman is guilty because of how they feel. We really don’t want a justice system that determines justice based on feelings.[/quote]

“[T]he more I observe American culture, the less enthused I am at the notion that a jury’s verdict in a criminal case is wrong if it doesn’t reflect the collective beliefs of our society.”
