Zimmerman Not Guilty: Temple Terrace and Tampa Bay React

The verdict of not guilty was handed down late Saturday night.

After two days of deliberation, the jury in George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trialΒ came back with a not guilty verdict.

Zimmerman, 29,Β was on trial for the 2012 shooting deathΒ of Trayvon Martin, 17, in the Sanford area. The death and subsequent trail created racial tensions and raised questions about Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.
