Safety a concern amid nationwide Zimmerman protests: SANFORD, Florida — George Zimmerman emerged from a Florida courthouse a free man after a jury cleared the former neighborhood watch volunteer of all charges in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in a verdict that sparked largely peaceful protests across the country.
Zimmerman's brother said the former neighborhood watch volunteer was still processing the reality that he wouldn't serve prison time for the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, which Zimmerman, 29, has maintained was an act of self-defense. A jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder late Saturday night and declined to convict him on a lesser charge of manslaughter.
