George Zimmerman has been found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin.

After almost two days of deliberations, the all-female jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of murder or manslaughter, a lesser charge that had been considered by the jury. Zimmerman shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin while a part of the neighborhood watch in Sanford, Florida. Martin was unarmed when he was shot and killed by Zimmerman.

Martin had gone out for some iced tea and some Skittles when he was shot by Zimmerman, who claimed he acted out of self-defense.
