I don't know what Trayvon Martin was guilty of that night, so far nothing has been proven to say that Trayvon Martin was in the wrong. He wasn't here to tell his side of the story. It's just sad all the way around. But as a Christian, I can't dare sit back and say that this case never should've been tried in the first place. God help us. Maybe George Zimmerman had the correct intentions and there is no way he is guilty of 2nd degree murder. But George Zimmerman definitely made some mistakes that night that cost Trayvon Martin his life. Maybe the shame and fear that he has to live with the rest of life with be punishment enough.

I was making light of some of the silly comments I heard reading different forums! For the record, I don't believe GZ was innocent, and the jury didn't say he was innocent. He certainly made errors in judgment that led to a
confrontation. He is guilty of causing the confrontation that started the ball rolling in this tragedy. I personally believe maybe there should be some amount of punishment for his accountability to that. I've made plenty of errors in judgment that caused a confrontation. Thank God I'm not sitting behind bars for that!
The jury voted that GZ was not guilty of the charges that the state presented. My thoughts and prayers go with the parents of both TM and GZ. The Martins are having to come to grips with not only losing their son, but watching his killer walk free. The Zimmermans now have to live their lives in fear of death threats just because they are GZ's parents. There is no winner here!
