*****Either the jury believed Zimmerman's actions were justifiable or they were not fully convinced that the prosecution proved that his actions were unjustifiable in a court of law... That they failed to take it beyond a reasonable doubt...

****he was found innocent by a jury of his peers - case over - move on

*** Well, let's be precise now. He was not found innocent. He was found not guilty.

**Totally disagree. That's actually a good deal less precise.
**He has been found innocent of all the charges brought against him. To say he is not guilty but not innocent says he "got away with it". That is a huge problem when people think they can make any charge stick so long as it suits them and if not just take it into their own hands to suit their own imagination of what actually happened rather than relying on the FACTS of the case.

*Fucking Hell, I actually agree with OFT on something!

*Maybe I've missed something but isn't "not guilty" or "guilty" basically the only verdicts a jury can give? I've not really heard of this "innocent" verdict before, at least not in the 'western' law courts.

You're right you've never heard of it. The reason for that is because juries don't declare innocence. They just whether or not the state has proven guilt or not.
How many times over the last decade and a half have you stuck up for OJ?
