Not only that, but I read in another article that he cannot be sued!

He can certainly be sued. Anyone can be sued by anybody else.

What is likely to happen, however, is that his defense in a civil suit would involve a cross-claim against the homeowners' association for indemnification. Basically, this means that if he was acting in some kind of official capacity for the association as a volunteer, the association may be obligated to pay not only any judgement against him, but also the cost of defending him in civil court.

This would all depend on one or more of three important considerations: (1) Florida law as it relates to not-for-profit corporations; (2) the bylaws of the homeowners' association; and (3) the ultimate disposition of the criminal charges against Zimmerman. Item (3) is critical because the association would probably have no legal obligation to indemnify Zimmerman if he is convicted of a crime.

I read that, too. And really...I'm sure Zimmerman has a million bucks in the bank, right??

They'll sue the condo community?? There's really no one to sue.

Oops - I meant to include you in my reply to Alberta's Child ... I wish people without a clue would keep their opinions to themselves. ;-)

Which is what I understand from yet another article, that that was why Treyvon’s mom wanted an arrest. She didn’t want a conviction, she wanted an arrest so she could bring a civil law suit (big $). I also understand that she’s already filed for the trademark on the name Treyvon Martin so the proceeds from sales of merchandise bearing his name will go to her.
