Zimmerman 'Not Guilty' Verdict: George Zimmerman found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin

The jury in the trial of George Zimmerman has found the neighborhood watchman not guilty in the killing of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman, 29, was acquitted on charges of second-degree murder in the death of Martin, a 17 year old black boy whom the defendant shot during a scuffle in a nearby gated community on Feb 26, 2012. The jury also could have convicted Zimmerman on the lesser charge of manslaughter but did not do so.
