People v. Zimmerman : verdict ---- the not guilty finding makes it clear that, in Florida, a man who follows another, in the dark, unidentified, and putting you in fear, is going to be given the benefit of the doubt if an altercation ensues, and YOU ARE NOT. So you had better be very very careful if you find yourself in that position. Very careful and PRAY. This is going to have an extremely damaging effect on civil peace in Florida. I would have hoped that the jury would consider the public policy consequences of a not guilty finding; but they were not irresponsibly wrong to give priority simply to the case at bar.
