RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events 17 year old Trayvon Martin shot by Neighborhood watch guy Zimmerman

On the one hand, Zimmerman seems to be something of a dimwit to keep getting in these situations.

But he also seems to be skilled at setting up plausible deniability of his guilt.
Two questions:

1) What would be appropriate punishment for his current crime, and recurring brushes with the law?
2) What will be the likely verdict, regardless of his innocence or guilt?
