Your Thoughts? Zimmeran Found Not Guilty in Trayvon Martin Murder Trial

After 16 hours and 20 minutes of deliberation, a jury panel of six women found George Zimmerman not guilty in the Trayvon Martin murder trial. 

The verdict was read just after 10 p.m. EST on Saturday, July 13. 

Zimmerman, 29, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Martin, who was shot by the defendant during a scuffle in a gated community in Sanford, Florida on Feb 26, 2012.
