As many Americans woke up Sunday to the news that a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's death, legal commentators, activists and the public are asking: What's next?

What will George Zimmerman's next steps be? What will Martin's family do?

"He is still processing the reality or notion of being a free man," Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., told CNN on Saturday. "He has some decompressing to do, and he has to align himself with himself again as the free George."


After Saturday's verdict, defense attorney Mark O'Mara suggested Zimmerman's safety would be an ongoing concern.




Martin's father, Tracy Martin, took to Twitter in the moments after the verdict.



On NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, the Rev. Al Sharpton questioned the Florida stand-your-ground law, saying he considers it an "atrocity" that an unarmed child could be killed and the shooter successfully claim self-defense.

"Clearly, there are grounds for civil-rights charges here," Sharpton said.
