The case had a result under the rules applicable to criminal cases, namely that the defendant does not have to testify and be subject to cross examination. Plus, he essentially gave his version of what happened during police interviews, and this version, without cross examination, was submitted to the jury.flockofseagulls104 wrote:Where do you get this stuff?

The case went through the legal system. It had a result. You and many others didn't like and are not satisfied with the result. Is mob rule preferable? Because that's what this is sounding like.
Since Trayvon wasn't around to testify and no one else witnessed the key moments of the encounter, George's unsworn, untested version was all the jury had to go on. We don't know the facts, much as people like you seem to want to avoid having them come out.
And, in case you're not aware, our legal system has two branches, civil and criminal. Civil justice allows those of us who are injured by the acts of a person to be compensated by that person, regardless of whether there are any criminal penalties for what can be proved in any criminal trial. This case has not gone through the civil justice system and there has been no result.
