I'm sure that as a paralegal you are aware that the courts do not judge anyone "innocent" and that innocent is not the same as "not guilty", but that is not the issue here. My question was "Do they work? Have they ever?" Thank you for your roundabout answer.

I really do not see a connection between murder and having no jobs. The statistics do not seem to back this up either.
Does Unemployment Presage Crime? - WSJ.com
And as to jobs, I got into about 12 Marquis Who's Who publications from 1992 through 2002 (and nominated for 24)--like Marquis Who's Who in the World, 12th Ed, 1995 (page 622)-- because of all the free time I had because of a blackball placed on me by very powerful people for fighting for better access to practical information for survivors of crimes. I had wanted to be honest about a niche in services for survivors of crimes in law libraries in the United States and basically got laughed out of the law librarianship profession. Being unemployed does not quickly translate as not being useful to other people as I have done wonders with my free time as I am sure many other people who have had the misfortune of not working have done. George Zimmerman was a doing a worthwhile job as neighborhood watch coordinator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin , he just did a very poor job of it when he went after Trayvon Martin without waiting for the police. He could have kept an eye on Martin from his car to see if he was up to no good and instead forced a very bad situation. He did murder Martin, weather or not it was justified homicide or not probably will never be known for certain except by George Zimmerman and God.
George Zimmerman was working as an insurance underwriter when the Trayvon Martin shooting happened and probably now would have a very hard time in getting any type of job because of his notoriety.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Zimmerman http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...83O18H20120425 Not sure what jobs Zimmerman's wife held but she is a licensed cosmologist.
From Reuters article:
Quote:
In 2007 he married Shellie Dean, a licensed cosmetologist, and in 2009 the couple rented a townhouse in the Retreat at Twin Lakes. Zimmerman had bounced from job to job for a couple of years, working at a car dealership and a mortgage company. At times, according to testimony from Shellie at a bond hearing for Zimmerman last week, the couple filed for unemployment benefits.
Zimmerman enrolled in Seminole State College in 2009, and in December 2011 he was permitted to participate in a school graduation ceremony, despite being a course credit shy of his associate's degree in criminal justice. Zimmerman was completing that course credit when the shooting occurred.
