    Interesting that everyone is saying no evidence etc to convict rather than evidence showing innocence...

    Technically, our legal system is set up "Innocent until proven guilty." One convicts on evidence of guilt - not the other way around

    "Innocent until proven guilty" is the mantra of our courts. He doesn't have to prove his innocence. The prosecution has to prove his guilt.

    You don't need evidence showing innocence in the United States legal system, because "innocent" is a defendant's presumed default state.

    Meh, only for the interim. He'll go underground for awhile, like Casey Anthony, and then resurface once the public has calmed.

    He will likely write a book or do interviews to get money.

    He should have been found guilty of manslaughter. This jury failed.

    Indeed

    Yep. He didn't need to be the "hero" that he felt he was.

    nope. if the state went for that initially, tailored its case to that charge, maybe. but they went for the home run and there wasn't the evidence to back that play.

    we don't convict in America when we don't have the evidence. at least, we shouldn't. even when we think the defendant deserves it.

    This was a trial of an individual that the media decided to turn into a public spectacle. Sensationalize trails are becoming all too common and are an embarrassment to our the legal system. Cameras have no business in a court room. The only opinions that truly matter regarding the verdict are the members of the jury. It's over. That is all.

    Yup. This was something that was cherry picked because the media wanted a racial trial. That's all.
