As I understand from various threads/comments posted here, she’d have to have a criminal conviction of Zimmerman in order to sue civilly, successfully, that the arrest alone won’t do it, which of course is why the lawyers was flipping out at her mention of it as an ‘accident.’ You can imagine the attorney seeing a jury respond to that comment, and his big fat fee going right down the toilet. There does seem to be a sense of ‘gee, we DO miss you, Treyvon, but since you ARE dead, we plan to get rich!”
Only has to be charged. Remember the OJ case. Not guilty criminally but guilty in civil court. Parents said in press conference in NY with sharpton that they wanted Zimmerman arrested for the murder of their son but they didn’t care about a conviction! You can’t make this stuff up. Do they ever hear what they say?
