A U.S man named George Zimmerman who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager,17 year old Trayvon Martins has been found not guilty by a jury made up of 6 women in florida.
According to George Zimmerman who is a neighbourhood watchguard ,said he acted in self-defence claiming the black teenager attacked him.Minutes after the verdict was read out,a quiet George Zimmerman showed little visible facial reaction but later turned and shook the hands of one of his lawyers.his parents and wife were present in the courtroom but the 17 year black teenager parents were absent from the courtroom.
After the court session was over and the verdict read out,Trayvon Martins father took it to twitter to thank all those who stood by them and promised to they will fight to the end.
But the black community in america has carried out a protest saying the verdict was 'disgraceful' and identified the killing of the un-armed black teenager as racially motivated and Zimmerman's lawyers has expressed concerns over his life...............but we still waiting to see what will happen in the next few weeks.
