George Zimmerman could be found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, in which case he should hope for solitary confinement for his own protection, or he will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. In this age of social networking and camera phones, there are few places he could move and remain anonymous. Either way, he will have plenty of time to decide if he did the right thing that February night.
In this violent age in which we live, even the jurors will have to be protected. In Pinellas County, when the Casey Anthony jurors returned home, instead of doing the TV and newspaper interviews some of them anticipated, they had to go into hiding. One woman had to quit her job and move out of state. There were signs in restaurants saying "jurors, stay out".
