The jury has an option to bring a verdict of manslaughter and they didn't. manslaughter is not ' he might be guilty of murder but we have no proof so lets compromise on manslaughter' but a specific crime that needs proof beyond reasonable doubt. Such proof was not delivered.
Maybe not. It really helps your case when the only other witness is a corpse, I guess.

Like Minimalist (although predictably with less hysterical frothing) I assumed, given you extreme left views that you would immediately side with those who would convict Martin without evidence.[/quote]
I think two things:
1: I never implied anything of the sort. I'd rather he be guilty and walk free than be innocent and imprisoned.
2: I think you ought to examine your own behavior before you start pointing out the ideologues in the room.
