George Zimmerman Acquitted In Death of Trayvon Martin 1737
theodp writes "Following nearly three weeks of testimony, a jury of six women in the George Zimmerman trial has found the former neighborhood watch volunteer not guilty of second-degree murder. He was also found not guilty of the lesser offense of manslaughter, which the jury also weighed."

Was Zimmerman an open-source advocate or something?
It appears he was an advocate of an open-source legal system, where you can write your own laws and then apply them as you see fit. As to whether or not he ever submitted his code for review is another question, he may have just been his own rogue alpha tester.

What are you talking about? LA burned from the Rodney King case, not OJ Simpson. I know, because I lived in LA at the time of the riots and the OJ trial.
Try to get your facts straight.
I thought it sounded like the GP was referring to the wrong case. Good to know I wasn't just imagining it.
I propose that sort of error be dubbed the "When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor Fallacy."
