It ain't over till its over. The family is filing a civil suit against Zimmerman, but also "The NAACP, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and other civil rights activists are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney Gen. Eric Holder to press federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman." NAACP President Ben Jealous wrote in a letter to AG Holder, “The most fundamental of civil rights — the right to life — was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin.” (Hopefully President Jealous's right to life position makes him also a strong opponent of abortion.) This is from DOJ urged to press civil rights charges against Zimmerman

In the end, I think the article George Zimmerman's Acquittal: Four Blunt Observations sums it up best: "In the end what got Zimmerman off was the most basic of all criminal-law concepts: reasonable doubt."
