There is a legal case and charges here.
It will go to trial and evidence will be presented by both sides.
Whether charges would have come about without public attention brought to the shooting by prominent black activists, IDK. I do know that the State of Florida investigated and evidence deemed sufficient to issue an arrest warrant exists. That doesn't imply guilt or innocence, just that it will be decided in a court of law.
Opinions regarding the merits of the case and those involved, or lack thereof for some, are interesting.
IMO, to suggest that there are no legal grounds for charges to have been brought in the first place and that our judicial system is weaker than some vocal activists or shit-stirrers is shortsighted.
The legal documents have been posted throughout this thread.
Zimmerman may be found "not guilty" of the charges (or found guilty of lesser charges) by a jury of his peers, but that doesn't invalidate the charges themselves. This is how the system works.
