I read they they can’t bring civil rights charges against an individual, only government officials. Thus they could charge police officers in the Rodney King case, (half of whom were acquitted anyway), but they can’t charge Zimmerman because he didn’t act on behalf of the government.
I also read that you can’t file a civil suit in the state of Florida when someone is acquitted in a murder trial.
If both are true, then Double Jeopardy in this case is dead.
Not true. It was done with the murderer of Meir Kahane and the murderers in Crown Heights in the early 90s.
