This is how you legally try someone for the same offense twice. Since civil rights violations are federal crimes, the federal government can try the case. Different jurisdictions trying the same case doesn't violate double jeopardy. Crazy, I know.
That kid could have been Obamas son, and really who has more experience with violating the constitution than the Obama justice department?

Yes he did.
The level of evidence for criminal (Reasonable Doubt) vs Civil (Preponderance of evidence) is very different so no surprise there.
I'm usually not one for conspiracy theories but I think this is Holder trying to get a scalp before he leaves office. Probably not going to be able to get the Ferguson police officer...so why not try and flim flam the zim zam again?

Mark O'Mara? I doubt it. He dropped the Zim as a client in 2013, after the defamation lawsuit

That's not the same as the gubmint trying you twice though. For the feds to try zim, they will have to ignore the justified killing aspect of it and instead try to prosecute him for something stupid like harassing T-dawg before being attacked. They might even say he was doing it in his official capacity as the neighborhood watch captain and therefore it was under color of authority. But, I'm pretty sure they have no jurisdiction for the killing. Not unless T-dawg was a government official or it happened on federal property.
You haven't realised that's the point of this yet?
Wow. I knew you were a little slow butman.
Floridafucked upso now the Feds are going to put the hurt on everyone involved starting with Zimmerman but it sure as hell isn't going to end with him.
