It is too big for our leaders to ignore. Even though the jury found him not guilty it is not over. The family of the 17 year old will file a civil suit against him and they will find him guilty in civil court. NAACP is also talking to the FBI about Civil Rights charges against the coward.
http://globalgrind.com/news/naacp-urges-...mmerman-details You're also a moron. Under Florida Law (again something you know nothing about because you don't care about the law, you have a target), he is immune to civil suits as part of the Stand Your Ground Law that was passed several years ago. The jury found for self-defense. William A. Jacobson, the Law Professor at Cornell, wrote about this at length.
First of all let's stop calling people names, like moron. It is especially inappropriate when you are the one, who is misinformed on the law.
A.)Zimmerman is not immune from a civil suit in Florida on the basis of the "Stand Your Ground" law. This law was not applicable to Zimmerman in the criminal trial and his attorneys did not pursue it or ask for a pre-trial or in camera proceeding to avoid culpability on these grounds. His defense was that he was immediately attacked, and so he defended on the basis of self-defense, an affirmative defense apart from stand your ground.
B.) The jury's verdict of not guilty is not binding on a civil jury in wrongful death. The jury found that there was insufficient to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. A much different standard is used in a civil proceeding. A jury may weigh the recklessness and lack of judgment by Zimmerman, which turnbull pointed out, and may determine that Zimmerman bears civil responsibility.
