The jury in the George Zimmerman case has rendered a NOT GUILTY verdict of second-degree murder in the sad fatal shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
The 6-women jury deliberated for 16 hours and 20 minutes over a span of two days before they finally reached their verdict few hours ago.
They had been given the chance to convict Zimmerman of manslaughter, but decided not to despite their earlier request for a clarification of the charge earlier in the evening.
Zimmerman had pleaded not guilty, claiming he shot the unarmed teen in self defense.
Trayvon's father writes heartbreaking tweets minutes after the verdict. See tweets below...
