If George Zimmerman does not go to trial, then under the Stand Your Ground law, he is immune from civil suit

Unfortunately even if he goes to trial and is found to be not guilty, he will not be immune to further prosecution (persecution) from federal criminal charges and if Holder is still in office, you can bet your bottom dollar that he will stand trial on federal criminal charges. Not murder of course, that would be double jeopardy but "hate crimes" or "denial of civil rights".

The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 for example.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 - Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law.

Zimmerman is likely to be tried at the federal level too, even if found guilty at the state level.....with the racist Holder still in charge. Gotta throw the book at this "white hispanic", make an example of him, so other uppity whites will know their place in the pecking order.

Good points... let’s hope his attorneys can drag this out until January 20th, 2013.
