Remember what happened to the cops in LA that were acquitted of beating Rodney King. The Feds stepped in and convicted them on civil rights violations. When the government has a vendetta against you, they’re going to get you. Period.

Exactly.I'd say that the chances of GZ doing serious time *somewhere* are about 99%.

The Rodney King case was a close case. You had to give the cops a lot of the benefit of the doubt after they started beating him and kept beating him. The video looked bad, but if you watched it in its entirety, and believed the cops as to why they kept beating, and looked at it in slow motion, where Rodney kept trying to get up, you could see a jury not finding that there was guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

This case is one where there is innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. It should never have been brought in the first place, it is a case where the defendant is objectively innocent in a nation where objectivity no longer exists. The feds may try to go after Zimmerman after the state fails, but they will end up looking just as stupid as De la Rearenda.
