As for the jury hearing Zimmerman describe on the phone the types of people that always get away with it - I have my opinion that he is not a decent guy - but rather a bully with a built up ego and nothing physical to back it up - so he packs a gun wherever he goes.

Guilty!
What you say may be true. He may not be a decent guy and might have some off the wall opinions, but that is no reason to find him guilty. The issue is simply was he defending himself when he shot Martin or not.
