Zimmermans defense team reacted last night by expressing gratitude to the jury of six women that found their client not guilty. We are ecstatic with the results. George zimmerman was never guilty of anything except protecting himself in selfdefense. Im glad the jury saw it that way and give everyone thanks, particularly those who doubteded georges reasons and doubted his background now understand the jury knew, everything they knew, was enough for them to find him not guilty.
