just look at his dumbass father, who pulled his chestnuts out of the fire every time he did something stupid and made him think he was invulnerable to prosecution for any action he took.

Well, he finally did something that daddy won't be able to help him with. And he is finally going to have to man up and pay the price for his actions. You're absolutely correct that, whatever happens in this case, Zimmerman's life is effectively over. He won't be safe in prison and even if he walks on these charges, he'll be looking over his shoulder every time he leaves his house.

Don't waste your sympathies on his family, they are responsible for the sick, sad SOB they raised.
