I don't think a person should be charged unless you think beyond a reasonable doubt he's guilty.

Isn't that the criteria for conviction? Surely messy, confusing cases can and should go to trial. That's the point, no? Let everybody lay out their witnesses and evidence, and try to get down to the truth, or as close as we can get.

I don't see where they said Zimmerman should be charged, only that he could have been charged better.

Exemplum gratum:

None of this is to say I think George Zimmerman is innocent of any crime for the incident that led to Trayvon Martin’s death, nor is it to say that the state may not possess sufficient evidence to convict Zimmerman of some crime at a trial. In fact, I am highly disturbed by Zimmerman’s behavior and Martin’s death.
