I guess the jury never did see any proof beyond a reasonable doubt that one guy stalked the other and that being the case, the defense gets the presumption of innocence. Just because police or a witness says stalking took place isn't enough to send a person to a life in a 7 x 10 pen where he won't last 6 months before he's tortured and killed. Stalking usually has to occur in a pattern of harassment over a period of time to qualify as the kind of stalking that is against the law. And following a person to see what they are up to is not illegal - I've done it! More than one. That jury had to have irrefutable evidence beyond any
reasonable doubt that one stalked the other and the shooter never was in a reasonable fear of his life or serious bodily injury. The State just didn't have that irrefutable evidence.
Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor of some note, criminal appellate lawyer, political liberal with no apparent dog in this fight and prominent scholar on United States constitutional law and criminal law, is saying that the State's Attorney Angela Corey could be cited for violating George Zimmerman's civil rights because he says she filed a false affidavit in front of a judge in order to get a second degree murder charge, failing to tell the judge there were photographs and to show that in the photographs George Zimmerman's nose had been broken, that he had wounds on the back of his head and that she misled the judge into giving her an overcharge second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman. Professor Dershowitz says that is a true violation of civil rights by a State law enforcement officer upon a U. S. citizen.

I wonder if that is really true about withholding those pictures or facts of the case.
