America erupts as jury finds George Zimmerman innocent of the murder and manslaughter of unarmed boy with a bag of sweets


A jury of six women took two days to decide that George Zimmerman, 29, had lawfully killed Trayvon Benjamin Martin when he shot him in Sanford, Orlando. The court was told that he had followed the unarmed youngster through a park because he looked like he was 'up to no good.' Zimmerman, a volunteer neighbourhood watchman, claims he shot Martin in self-defence, and that the teen punched him repeatedly before deciding to use lethal force.
