I don’t believe this is “Double Jeopardy” Its a civil injury trial. Burden of proof is markedly different. Remember they did this with O.J. too? Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong. They are not talking civil liability, they are talking civil liberties.

No the petition is not to end a civil trial, it is to stop the DOJ from simply trying the case again.

The Florida “stand your ground” law seems to preclude a civil trial.

In NO State of the Union is it disallowed to use lethal force to prevent your death or injury if you cannot get away from your attacker. DoJ is overreaching.
