As we all know, George Zimmerman was recently acquitted of second-degree murder charges after killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year.
Since then, George's attorneys have been seen celebrating at one of the most expensive restaurants in New York, his parents have thanked God he was found not guilty, and Juror B37 had an onslaught of devastating comments to share.
Hurt Americans currently seeking out a better day for young African American males in this country.
To add fuel to the fire, Robert Zimmerman Jr. is speaking out against attempts to file a civil lawsuit against his brother George.
In what seemed like a slightly threatening comment and an attempt to intimidate the Martin family - and their supporters- Robert wrote in an email to The Huffington Post:
"A myriad of things that were off-limits in a criminal trial would come into play in a civil case. Specifically, things that might not be very flattering to Trayvon or his family."
"I don't expect a wrongful death suit ... There is the potential assertion of civil immunity before the case would even start -- things that were off limits during the case might also come up then. Also, a criminal acquittal goes a long way to supporting a civil immunity claim."
Why is it so hard for people to understand someone who kills a kid whose sole intent was to get home from the store, should be held accountable by the justice system?
Shhhhhh -- let them file.
It does. But there would need to be a hearing on the issue of whether it applies. Almost certainly would be held to.
No, the defendant in the civil case would request an immunity hearing prior to the civil case under FL law.
In spite of the jury not hearing evidence regarding TM’s past and a shaky start by his defense lawyer with the knock knock joke, the jury was still able to arrive at the correct verdict. I am still amazed by that. The judge was just awful.
it was not invoked by the defense, I think the judge’s instructions mentioned SYG in passing though
It does.
“Don’t throw me in the briar patch, B’rer Rabbit!”
I like this Zimmerman family more every day. I especially love the polite, soft-spoken but unmistakable “make my day” attitude they have.
What a sickening bunch of commenters on there. Calling GZ a racist - ROFL, pathetic POS.
Never mind the obvious blog-bias itself.
They’re upset at a 2nd party to the event telling it like it is.
That would be the first lie put to rest in a civil suit.
Why is it so hard for people to understand someone who kills a kid whose sole intent was to get home from the store, should be held accountable by the justice system?
Why is it so hard for people to understand that known thieves who assault armed men have short life expectancies?
It’s open warfare in a civil setting.
Rachel can really get into it then.
I have watched him before when interviewed and he seems very intelligent and has a good grasp of the facts which were used to defend his brother.
But the race profiteers are not interested.
Because if the TRUTH comes out, people will find the "kid" was a thug, on drugs, and looking for a place to burglarize, until he encountered the neighborhood watchman?
The defense will also depose his brother as well, and anyone who thinks that anything unflattering that they uncover won't make it to the media is kidding themselves.
It is that last line in the article that left me with a “HUH”?
Did you notice that cheap shot right at the end of the article?
“Why is it so hard for people to understand someone who kills a kid whose sole intent was to get home from the store, should be held accountable by the justice system?”
Why is it so hard for Huffington Post writers to understand that when someone kills a thug whose sole intent is beating them to death, it is self defense and that their actions should be supported by the justice system?
