George Zimmerman is a free man after a jury found him not guilty on all charges. He's also free to get back the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin.

As Judd Legum, editor-in-chief of Think Progress noted on Twitter:

Indeed, after the verdict was announced, Judge Debra Nelson said all evidence in the case will be released and Zimmerman's ankle monitor would be removed.

After deliberating for more than 16 hours, a jury of six women on Saturday evening found George Zimmerman not guilty.

The verdict came after four weeks of testimony from more than a dozen witnesses.
