I think one of the things people had trouble with is that both the prosecution and the defense have arguments based on theories. No one knows for sure what happened.

The difference is, you can't convict someone based on a theory; however, for a defense, you only need to prove reasonable doubt. In this judicial system, the defendant has a huge advantage (as they should). I still don't believe the defense theory, but I agree that it was a enough. It's just such a shame that we will never know Martin's side of the story.

Not guilty does not mean "innocent", and IMO, Zimmerman is not guilty in the legal sense, but not innocent either from a moral point of view. His decisions and behaviour are a huge problem and a major contributing factor on what happened.
