The Trayvon family is not seeking justice in the form you would think. No, they are seeking monetary justice, or more directly monetary gain. THAT is the motivation; and the absence of an “arrest” is what stood between them and their ability to sue in civil court”.
Ask yourself why would anyone want an arrest without a conviction?
“We are not asking that he be convicted; We are asking that he be arrested”
Why is that so important?
The answer can be found in the statutes of Florida law surrounding Justifiable Use Of Force (Statute 776) which outlines in Statute 776.032
SNIP
Without an arrest there is no implied probable cause which could lead to Compensatory and punitive damages for wrongful death.
They need an arrest. They DO NOT need a conviction.
The other approach to a monetary victory would be a “Federal” civil rights investigation and possible arrest on federal civil rights laws. Hence a better understanding of why attorney Benjamin Crump is fabricating information to the Federal Department of Justice. In the letter to the DOJ Crump said:
“We look forward to your thorough and comprehensive review of the suspicious circumstances surrounding this meeting, and the decision to disregard the recommendation to arrest Zimmerman”
SNIP
The guilt or motives of the accused Mr. Zimmerman matter naught when weighed against the need for a compensatory judgement to fill their void.
“We are not asking that he be convicted; We are asking that he be arrested” – Ben Crump
“We simply wanted an arrest; we wanted nothing more than an arrest. We wanted nothing more, nothing less; We just wanted an arrest, and we got it, and I say thank you. Thank you Lord; Thank you Jesus” – Sybrina Fulton
Indeed.
If the charges are dismissed at the evidence hearing there cannot be any civil trial either according to FL law.
Blood and turnips.
Why wouldn't I think that? I wasn't born yesterday.
Look for a hung jury in this.
They will be suing the chit out of the HOA...that is good and bad....
The question I have is there was a report that the kid sat in the morgue for 3 days before the body was claimed..If that’s true why isn’t that mentioned in the media ?
Is this a Revenge Lottery? Winner gets rich off their dead family member?
The family of Trayvon might want to pause to consider before leaping into litigation.
The discovery phase is a razor with two edges.
That is my understanding as well. Authorities had to hunt for the parents in order to inform them. Sad.
I was reminded of the sister of the man who died in the WTC on 9/11. She complained that because she was his sister, she wasn’t entitled to anything- ‘We got nuthin’, only the offer of counseling.’
Very ugly, very sad. I look for these hood hoodie people everywhere in an attempt to make a buck off the back of whitey.
The mother has already applied for the rights to the name “Treyvon Martin” so she can cash in on Treyvon merchandise.
I heard that early on. It was one of the first things I remember hearing about that case.
Yumpin Yimmini, It’s yackpot yustice time.
