“I think the jury made the right decision based on the evidence presented, because the prosecution inadvertently set the standard so high that the jury had to be convinced that it was a deliberate act by Zimmerman, that he was not at all defending himself,” Carter told Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA-TV.
On Saturday, Zimmerman was found innocent by a jury in Florida. He shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012, Zimmerman maintains in self defense.
The former president and Georgia governor discussed the verdict, and what it says about race in America, in an on-camera interview with the station.
“It’s not a moral question, it was a legal question, and the American law requires that the jury listen to the evidence presented,” Carter said. “The action that was taken in the courtroom was not to bring in the race issue at all. The prosecution avoided that subject quite clearly.”
When did Jimmy Carter get knocked on the head and wake up as a sane person?

He's also fair and non-partisan on the Middle East issue, as anyone who reads his book "Peace not Apartheid" will realize.
He was always sane!
haha
Carter knows him some about them there Jooos!
I really can't wait for the Zimmerman buzz to be done with so our country can focus on other things, like the revolutions in the Middle East which we are actively part of right now????
Seriously... America and its attention deficit, or what.
Carter's anger, rightly or wrongly, is with Israel, not the Jews.
Israel has learned their policies from America. Both countries use excessive force to make their points. Both countries have disproportionate militaries. Both countries have crooked politicians. Bith countries have vbested military industrial complexes. Both countries are hated by many around the world.
I thought Carter was a terrible president who was elected by backlash, not by merit.
