Ok, there is a lot of media publicity about this case, and as such it is hard to see things through all of that. The fact is that the jury did set him free. Why? Because there was no evidence strong enough to convict him. As many of you know, a man is innocent until proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, guilty. It honestly could be either way. Trayvon Martin may have been killed on purpose, he could have been killed because he was attacking the other man. However, the media makes it out to be a hate crime and a gross injustice of our legal system, when actually, it may not be. The media likes to take any confrontation between a black person and a white person and turn it into something huge. It is honestly really stupid as that only encourages those feelings and drives a wedge between us. The only difference between black people an white people is this thing called melanin. That is the stuff which determines how much color you have in your skin. However, we all bleed red. No one is better than another person, least of all because of their skin! This may sound insensitive, but as I said before, there was not enough evidence to convict Zimmerman. He could be innocent. He could be guilty. But in this country, you are innocent until proven guilty. And he has not been proven guilty. I really wish the media would drop the habit of trying suspects before they are actually put on trial. It just makes trouble.
Psalm 46:10 He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
