It goes without saying that the Zimmerman verdict is shocking.
But not particularly surprising.
The Florida law seems to be designed to protect the shooter.
And so, with no eye witnesses, and the other person involved dead, (and more importantly a black male), Georgie gets to walk away clean.
However, I have a feeling that the rest of his life (after the triumphant appearances on Fox News, of course), will be bitter.
And possibly brief...
Extra Credit: As an intellectual exercise, run through the possible legal scenarios if Zimmerman were a 30ish black man and Trayvon a white teenager.
