I thought I read somewhere that if George Z. prevails in his "self-defense" defense no one, not even Da Lawd himself, can file a federal, civil, circuit or whatever suit against him.

Not true. A Civil Case is not dependent on the outcome of a Criminal Case to go forward.

Remember, OJ was found "not guilty" and was sued by Nicole Brown Simpson's parents for Wrongful Death and won.

In Zimmerman's case, he'll face both Federal "Civil Rights" charges that'll be trumped up beyond belief, and a civil suit from Trayvon Martin's parent's who've already financially benefitted beyond their wildest dreams by settling for millions from the gated community they and Zimmerman both live in.

Thanks for the info. I did some research on this till my eyes glazed over and I had to quit. It looks like you're absolutely correct about him getting hit with civil and federal suits later on.

George Zimmerman faces a long, debilitating, expensive road ahead of him even if he's adjudged "not guilty" in the current trial.

There's obviously not much left of the "double jeopardy" protection in our legal system.
