Isn’t this violating Zimmerman’s civil rights?

“unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin”

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Justifiable+homicide

justifiable homicide n. a killing without evil or criminal intent, for which there can be no blame, such as self-defense to protect oneself or to protect another, or the shooting by a law enforcement officer in fulfilling his/her duties. This is not to be confused with a crime of passion or claim of diminished capacity which refer to defenses aimed at reducing the penalty or degree of crime. (See: homicide, self-defense)

I can hardly bare what they are doing in this matter of Zimmerman...and of course has nothing any longer to do with him...but is it actually possible to do more than convict for monetary damages? He can’t be tried again.

Sorry but I cannot handle much of this debackle... but like to know what options they actualy have....other than to continue to take the Zimmerman family thru the hell they’ve already done!
