George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed 17-year African American high school student Trayvon Martin in a killing that raised major questions about race and gun control in America, was last night found not guilty of his murder. After a dramatic three-week trial and more than 16 hours of deliberation, an all-woman jury in Sanford, Florida reached a not guilty verdict after accepting that the 29-year-old had acted in self-defence when he shot and killed Trayvon. A few minutes after George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the death of Trayvon Martin Saturday night, the dead teenager’s father tweeted his emotional reaction to the verdict saying “Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY”.

It is sad to see such a young teenager gone so early !
