There's a difference between being found not guilty and being innocent, and a lot of people seem to this this guy is innocent, and he's not. If you want to sell yourself on Zimmerman the daring angel, protecting a community from the ruffians ... that's fine. He chased down and shot an unarmed kid, and we only have his side of the story, and I don't believe it, because why would he tell any sort of tale that doesn't portray him as innocent.

Technicality? No, he was found innocent after trial where the trier of fact found that he had properly used self-defence. An example of a technicality would be getting off because the police had filed forms improperly. This was not a technicality by any definition of that word.
