"I would like to share with you my favorite bible verse: 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.' Proverbs 3:5-6," Fulton wrote. "Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you. You are all that I have. At the end of the day, GOD is still in control. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I will love you forever Trayvon!!! In the name of Jesus!!!"

Benjamin Todd Jealous

Benjamin Todd Jealous, the President of the NAACP vowed to pursue a civil case against Zimmerman with the Department of Justice.

“We are outraged and heartbroken over today’s verdict," Jealous said. "We stand with Trayvon's family, and we are called to act."

Rev. Al Sharpton

The Rev. Al Sharpton called the verdict a “slap in the face to those who believe in justice.”

"What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime ... and be killed and someone can claim self-defense," Sharpton continued. "We had to march to even get a trial and even at trial, when he's exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted."

Meanwhile, Zimmerman has gone into hiding amid death threats and public outrage at the verdict.

"He has to be very cautious and protective of his safety because there is still a fringe element who have said, at least in tweets and everything else, that they want revenge -- that they will not listen to a verdict of not guilty," defense attorney Mark O'Mara told CNN.
