Time to move on from trial verdict

A young man died and for that I am sorry and I sympathize with the parents and friends of the Trayvon Martin family.
To the protesters and demonstrators of the decision (court ruling, George Zimmerman murder trail), I would say that this is the same legal system that acquitted O.J. Simpson some years ago. “Not guilty” does not mean “innocent” in our legal system.
The burden of proof was not met in the eyes of the jury. Move on with life.
