There was almost no way this wasn't going to end up as an acquittal unless you had some big only happens in TV shows drama. I don't particularly think Zimmerman is some stand up guy who was just minding his own business; I think he was looking to cause trouble. There was always going to be reasonable doubt from the very simple point of view that you had two guys acting like asshats and there were no eye witnesses (unless I missed something it was all phone calls, and post event investigation/forensics). The whole phone calls and scream identification was ludicrous. If you aren't allowed the scientific evidence don't open up that can of worms.
