George Zimmerman was found ‘not guilty’.
The big news from last night is that George Zimmerman was found ‘not guilty‘ by a jury of six women, who spent more than 16 hours deliberating.
Social media and mainstream news sites reported on the verdict with mixed emotions.
The bottom line is that the judicial system worked as expected; the decision was based on the evidence provided and the ability of the prosecutor and the defense team to leverage it all.
In the eyes of the law, George Zimmerman did not murder Trayvon Martin, but acted in self-defense.
Meanwhile, several domain registrations were made recently:
- ZimmermanIsGuilty.com (7/12/2013)
- ZimmermanGuilty.com (7/12/2013)
- ZimmermanNotGuilty.com (7/12/2013)
These domain registrations clearly place a bet on the verdict’s outcome, on the eve of its announcement.
Meanwhile, ZimmermanIsAKiller.com that was registered in early 2012, appears to be up for sale; an obviously tasteless attempt to capitalize on a sensational case that wasn’t decided yet.
Last year, we reported that domain investor, Mike Mann, owns Trayvon.com; the domain has since been listed for sale for $25,000.
