Good. This was a completely unambiguous case of a psychopath taking out his rage on a car of innocent teenagers, and he got what he deserved.

I'm still surprised he was convicted at all. He said it was self-defense and usually that's accepted as the gospel in these sorts of cases.

There has to be some ambiguity for the jury to go for it. Here we had no weapon on the victim, no evidence of a struggle, and a massive use of force against people who were in the car and posing no threat to him.

Like, I don't think the jury would have acquitted Zimmerman if Trayvon Martin was shot from ten feet away in the back, either.
