walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think the jury necessarily bought the self defense claim. Rather, I think they determined that George was negligent which precluded them from convicting him of either murder 2 or manslaughter.

It's possible.

We won't know unless/until the jurors agree to be interviewed or release their own story; I think they'll talk within the next couple of months. JMO.

Also possible: they weren't convinced by either side and had no idea who did what, whether it was justified or not, etc... If they had reasonable doubt all the way around, they have to give the benefit to the defendant, by law.
