Today Facebook is oddly quiet about the Zimmerman trial. I am sorry, I thought the man was guilty of manslaughter, but the American justice system says no

According to what I've read the reason is her warning shot was into a wall that her husband and his two children were standing against. My guess is that because she fired in the direction of the children as well as the man she lost any sympathy with the jury. Also police reports show that when they arrived she was acting more angry then fearful. This information is just what I gathered from reading news reports on the internet so it might not be reliable.

That's more than I could find. I don't have much time to get on the internet so I just thought I'd ask if anyone had seen anything more. I heard she fired into the ceiling, the wall does sound more sinister. Thanks again for the help!
