Disagree with what? That the jury found him not-guilty?
Yes, a lot of people made up their minds before the trial. When it came to the actual trial though many people agree that the prosecutors did a terrible job and the defense attorney was excellent in showcasing how Zimmerman's wounds were consistent with having his head smashed into the concrete floor and the gun shot was consistent with him being on the bottom. Fortunately we live in a society (even if it's south of our border) that values a fair trial system with the presumption of innocence. Does that mean sometimes bad people (for lacking of better phrasing) go free? Yes, but it's a lot better than the alternative. In the Trayvon Martin case it meant going with the little evidence there was and finding Zimmerman not-guilty of murder. Which means exactly what it says, there wasn't enough to prove him guilty of murder, not necessarily that he was innocent.
Again, it simply comes down to innocent until
proven guilty.
