That verdict was
Seems everybody on FB has been posting/commenting about this case recently, and people wonder why African Americans are continually outraged at the double standards present in the criminal justice system.
That verdict was crap as well, but that doesn't change the fact the Zimmerman verdict was the RIGHT one. He was attacked by the kid; following somebody isn't a crime, nor is provoking them, but assaulting someone is, and under Stand Your Ground, Zimmerman had the legal right to defend himself.
Although in that case, she left, got a gun, and came back. That's not Stand Your Ground, that's saying fuck it I'll go get a gun to intimidate this person, and that sadly is a crime. Given the circumstances I think she should have gotten off, but that argument isn't the same as the Zimmerman trial.
