But in the age of Obama the acquittal of George Zimmerman offers at least that clarity.

Our justice system is supposed to be biased toward innocence. I feel it is better that guilty people go free rather than convicting the innocent. It does not always work, but in this case the jury seemed to have reasonable doubts. While I have no doubt that if Martin were white and Zimmerman black, there would have been a conviction.

Besides the prosecution teams colossal failure, they literally were getting hammered in court by the defense team (daily), in my view, the second degree murder charge was beyond reach, it was non-achievable in court, a stretch for the circumstances surrounding this case and in having the jury agreeing to a second degree murder charge proved to be a monumental mistake.
