Unidentified sources within the Administration have confirmed that Obama, and Justice Eric Holder at the Department of Justice have filed charges against Zimmerman for “violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights”. Double jeopardy is an often misunderstood concept in American Law. The rule merely states that an individual cannot be tried twice for the same crime in the SAME COURT. Liberal Justice Department officials often charge Americans with crimes from which they have previously been acquitted by filing federal charges on a similar crime in a federal court. At approximately 10:01 pm EST this evening Judge Debra Nelson (pictured right) announced that the all women jury had found Zimmerman not guilty of fatally shooting and killing the 17-year old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL, just over one year ago. The case has received national attention and nearly wall-to-wall coverage on all mainstream media outlets. While Al Sharpton and the entire staff at MSNBC has advocated heavily for a guilty verdict, we on the right have been praying for an acquittal for Zimmerman who was simply exercising his right to “Stand your Ground” (a Florida statute that apparently allows individuals to follow, track, then attack young Black youth before shooting them dead if feeling at all threatened throughout the process). Obama has actively used his influence throughout the case (think “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon”). Earlier this week, multiple sources, including Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the entire right wing, has reported on the involvement of the Federal Government in spending millions of dollars in support of anti-Zimmerman protests (race riots). According to Fox News, ” The Community Relations Service (CRS), a unit of DOJ, reported expenses related to its deployment in Sanford to help manage protests between March and April 2012, according to documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.” [link to nationalreport.net] |

Then they can declare martial law and confiscate our guns. The only trial that I want to watch on TV is an impeachment hearing. |

In the name of JUSTICE User ID: 43362910 United States 07/14/2013 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The trialshould not have been held in Florida in the first place. They did not arrest Zimmerman for 2 weeks and that was only after being pressured. If he had done as he was told do not follow or get out of the car this would not have happened. So if you don't like the way a person or kid looks you can assume he is trouble? Do not judge but God has the final say to all involved. Hope you Ladies can sleep well after not using good old common sense. |

There will be no civil lawsuits. Zimmerman is immune because Treyvon was a thug killer wanna-be and Zimmerman was defending himself.

This is a sad day when Politics and Politicians stick their fucking noses into the Legal system. It's NOT their business! I'm tired of waiting, somebody push the damn button already!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 43368830 United States 07/14/2013 10:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You guys are crazy posting on here. Acting like you know the law or case law/precedent. Zimmerman was acquitted of the mirder charge (good luck living a normal life ever again). He has no immunity against a civil suit (that was a bold faced lie told by his lawyers right after the trial) and he can be compelled to testify in open court as well as be deposed before trial. Additionally, he can (and likely should to put this whole matter to rest) face federal civil rights charges because of DUAL SOVEREIGNTY. This was decided by the Supreme Court back in 1959 and was the basis under which the officers who beat Rodney king were tried nd convicted federally after they were acquitted of state charges. I find the prospect of federal charges quite curious because Mr. Zimmerman's lawyers' entire case was predicated on the assertion that because one of the residents of the subdivision where he was performing neighborhood watch was burglarized by a black man so that was why he was suspicious of the late Mr. Martin. Also the language he was using in his statements were very akin to that of a LEO. Lastly and strangely enough, Mr. Zimmerman's own description of the situation: he was walking slowly in the rain -- therefore he was looking in people's windows? / he looked like he was on drugs -- and other descriptive statements that be made were biased to justification of his actions when he is not qualified to make those observations and assessments (that was his defense's assertion that George was a doughy out of shape untrained man who was fighting a gainer a scary black man who was bigger and stronger than him -- when he was actually 40-50 pounds lighter, taking martial arts and walking around with a gun strapped to his hip). Unfortunately, no one won in this case. A ping man is dead and the man who killed him is forever marred by this situation. Hopefully, this will send a messages to everyone that the use of force by civilians needs to be looked into further, that the way you dress or look can greatly influence the outcome of encounters you have with people and that we all need to take a step back from this culture of paranoia and proclivity to violence. |
