i say manslaughter
tough for the jury to go 2nd degree murder, but they are not going to let him off for self-defense

and there will be rioting whatever the verdict is

This is such a political train wreck it makes me sick.  And to think the Obama
Administration had their paws in it is the icing in the cake. 

Tough to say, but I think he does not get declared guilty.  Might be a hung jury.

I'm predicting walk.  Following someone does not equate to manslaughter if he had a reasonable fear for his life and safety.   Following someone is not inciting violence or starting a fight.

100% no on the murder;

slight chance for the manslaughter, but after what I have heard, I would be letting him go.

 

I'm predicting walk, because everyone wants to see these damn riots that they keep crying about.

LETS GO ZIMMERMAN!

Just don't bring skittles to a gun fight!

Hmmm... I don't watch propaganda designed to stir fear, anger and divide the public against one another. Though I have no prediction on the verdict, I do predict the story has had its desired effect on the general public. If anyone would like more stealth based propaganda pabulum, perhaps some old issues of Völkischer Beobachter might interest you - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lkischer_Beobachter . - Enjoy.

I suspect he walks... Verdict is known but delayed due to the weekend to give the Racists a chance to cool down.  Any Monday morning rioting will be met with fully armed resistance by shop keepers..

Should be not guilty, he will get manslaughter.

Manslaughter caries virtually the same penalty... In any event; the racebaters and Liberal News media have done such a great job demonizing the guy it might as well be a death sentence.

I don't think there's no way they can convict him.  Not enough evidence.  But I think he gets manslaughter because if he walks there's going to be hell to pay the way the media has been covering this thing.

 

He will be found not guilty of all charges, then sue someone and win.

I agree with Funtimes. NOT GUILTY.

That white bastard will get what...er, wait, he's not white? Damn, then I don't know. I do know that somehow it WILL be Bush's fault!

I could see that, sue all the networks for defamation.

I was thinking innocent, or hung jury. Now I am thinking there is a good chance of guilty due to the new options of manslaughter and such. But in also feel that hung jury if even more possible.

He'll walk if the jury gives a single damn about the actual law and the evidence.  The prosecution introduced more reasonable doubt than the defense did!  In closing arguments, O'Mara held four minutes of silence to show the jury exactly how long Trayvon had between the time he ran and when the confrontation started.  If he wanted to get away, he'd have been home.  Instead he doubled back and attacked Zimmerman.  The prosecution's rebuttal?  "Trayvon didn't have four minutes to plan his attack.  He had four minutes left on this earth."  (Technically true that he did have four minutes left on this earth after he ran, but still does nothing to answer the question of how he chose to spend them.)

I'm concerned that the jury is tainted, or that they'll cave in to emotional crap about a beloved son (whose mother kicked him out of her house) being taken "too soon", especially when they feel like they can "compromise" and still convict him on something because "it's just not right" that an innocent baby-faced child is dead and Zimmerman walks.  Remember, the jury isn't told and I don't think they're even allowed to ask about sentencing, so it's entirely possible that they'll convict on Manslaughter thinking it's going to be a couple of years in prison, only to find out on the evening news that he was sentenced to 30.

I don't know how they can't be "told" -  we know hes facing 30 years on manslaughter. Life on the Murder 2

Either way its a sad day for CCW

Riots either way.  Watch.  Either fkg way.
