The next stop will be a federal charge against Z for violating M’s civil rights in order to quell the rioting from Miami to Chicago after Z is aquitted.

How do you charge a private individual with violating someone's constitutional rights? That charge usually only applies to employees or agents of the government (as in the Rodney King case).

How do you charge a private individual with violating someone’s constitutional rights?...Get real. The Fed’s did it in Hazleton, Pa. The defendants were found not guilty of murdering an illegal alien, so the Feds prosecuted them with rights violations. Life in prison. About four years ago.
