Verdict is in........NOT GUILTY

[minarchist]

I see a huge civil case coming against Mr.Zimmerman.

CCJ

Zimmerman was found not guilty due to the lawful use of self-defense. I suspected, and O'Mara confirmed, that that is grounds for civil immunity.

There will be plenty of law suits, but Zimmerman will be the plaintiff. Zimmerman will be a very rich man from these lawsuits (and probably from book deals as well), and rightfully so. He deserves to be filthy rich for what he was put through by Marxist scum.

I look at it from the other perspective.....I can now chase kids through the neighborhood with my gun, trap them in a dark alley and shoot them. After I call 9-11 of course.

Do you get sucker punched and does your head get smashed into concrete and does the thug reach for your gun in these scenarios?

I wonder if the judge will not be answering questions ... probably not .. judge has full immunity .. nice system huh?

Let them bring it. They'll just be wasting their money and have to pay Zimmerman's legal (and other) costs to boot.

Florida Statute 776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.—
(1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer[...][dissertation on what a LEO is removed]. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.
(2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.
(3) The court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).

Florida law may prevent a Florida lawsuit. Will it prevent one filed in federal court?

Either way, Zimmerman gets to sue the state, and he has a LOT of evidence of malicious prosecution, official harassment, and probably criminally outside influences on the process. He should also sue the New Black Panthers for putting his life in danger, as well as any other source that defamed his character. The good guys should start using this system, too, and stop just being defendants.

I'm not celebrating, we have a 17 year old young man who is dead. That's not grounds for celebration in many people's books. I do however think that the justice system worked, and the jury came to the right verdict based on the evidence.

I am celebrating. In fact, I'm listing to "Celebrate" by Three Dog Night.

There were numerous indications that Trayvoscum would end up as a felon (other than the felonies that he perpetrated shortly before this planet was made just a bit cleaner).

Zimmerman doesn't stand a chance in any lawsuits against anyone.

 

[carolina guy]

That guy is a race-baiter.

he is some kinda of "bater" for sure...

 

[carolina guy]

I meant evidence didn't support that Trayvon Martin was doing anything illegal prior to the altercation with Zimmerman. The evidence would seem to indicate he assaulted Zimmerman when they came in contact with each other, and Zimmerman acted in self defense against the assault by Trayvon Martin. But I wasn't there, just my impressions based on the evidence I saw.

Last time I checked, assault is a crime.

Since when do people sue other people for alleged wrongful deaths anywhere other than state courts?

Your credibility on this message board evaporated a while ago.

 

[Ca Patriot]

The person who has a case for a lawsuit is the original sheriff who recommended no charges in the case and he was then fired.

Okay. Get back to me and the board when Zimmerman wins a lawsuit.

CAP- Read my post #34, I lay out a clear case for "Malicious Prosecution" against the state prosecutors.

Give it a thought.

Keep up the good work.

NBC started covering its ass when they fired the employee responsibile for the manipulated recording. Anyone who doesn't think that Zimmerman has a case against NBC is a tard.

He was a young man, we've all been young and many of us have done stupid things in our youth, myself included. So I don't hold that against him, the school suspension, THC, whatever... There is no indication he was doing anything wrong or illegal prior to the altercation with Zimmerman.

So if you want to celebrate the death of a young man, go right ahead. It's your right as an American.

Again my opinion is based on the facts I've seen, and I 100% agree with the jury verdict. I fully support the 2nd Amendment, concealed and open carry laws, and stand your ground/castle doctrine laws. I just don't think anyone being killed is a happy ocassion.

Just my opinions, I'm a dumb ass Okie from the sticks, so what the hell do I know anyway.

I think you are very wrong about that. I think he will get a rather nice payday from NBC for their egregious slander (editing the recording of the phone call to make it sound like he was suspicious of Trayvon because he was black as opposed to simply answering the the dispatcher's direct question as to if the suspicious person was white, black, or Hispanic) and other things.

He doesn't even really have to sue Florida for his first payday from them -- they are already on the hook for most of his legal costs - but a hearing will be needed to determine how much they have to pay.

He may not be able to win a malicious prosecution case against the state, but he damn sure should try.

He'll have some free time on his hands to decide who all gets to have their turn at playing defendant.

I can't speak for anybody but myself -- I'm not happy anyone got killed, but I am happy with the verdict.

Yes, and I clearly said prior to the altercation he wasn't doing anything illegal. I also said I believe he assaulted George Zimmerman once they came in contact with each other, and Zimmerman acted correctly in defending himself.

It is a pity that Martin had to learn that he was NOT indestructible with his life, but he did make his choice to attack a grown man and it just so happened that this grown man was also better equipped.

I think the fault of this situation lies with the parents almost entirely. They failed to properly raise their son and keep tabs on him to notice the drug use and thuggery. They finally (and too late) stepped in once he was suspended from school and sent him to live with his father. Now their son is dead, and his victim has suffered (and will continue) the assaults from the radical and racist elements in society.

This case should have never gone to trial because there should have never been a case...if only Martin had better parents.
