And what if they do manage to find a jury of presumed impartial individuals! Will all the jurors have enough courage to vote their conscience once the facts are all presented to them at trial, if the facts show that Zimmerman is innocent? Or will they vote to convict in fear of potential death threats against them if they don't? It's already happened to some people involved and it surely will happen again against the jurors if they find him innocent!
If Zimmerman is in fact guilty, and he walks free because of what I've just explained, then who is guilty of obstructing justice. I can tell you that it's not us who speak against the rush to judgment and not involved in public protests!

Hopefully the evidence will be strong enough, one way or the other, to have a fair trial if any charges are ever brought. You're making a bit of a leap talking about a "vigilante lynch mob like in the old west". If Casey Anthony could get a fair trial, hopefully George Zimmerman could also, if charged.
