Isn’t this getting pretty close to “double jeopardy”? George Zimmerman has been tried in a court of law, found to be “not guilty”, and discharged from custody of the court.
What ever happened to respecting the authority of a legally constituted judge and jury, once they have pronounced their verdict? Unless there is some basis for taking the outcome to an appeal, the findings of the court are binding. There would have to be a LOT of evidence, of very damning nature, to reopen the prosecution of George Zimmerman.
Persecution, of course, is an entirely different matter.
Just as an aside, former Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, is about as “white” as George Zimmerman. Yet I had never heard the term “white Hispanic” applied to Gov. Richardson.
Harry Reid had better be a little careful where he goes with this.
What ever happened to respecting the authority of a legally constituted judge and jury, once they have pronounced their verdict? ...In Hazelton, Pa, a jury of peers released a group of kids who beat and subsequently killed an illegal immigrant who verbally attacked them. They said if the wet-back hadn’t been here, he wouldn’t have been fought with. The DOJ took them to court for violating his civil rights. They are now in jail for 20 years.
Prosecution can't "appeal" that's for defendants and it wouldn't matter a whit how much new evidence came forth, even if Zimmerman said on national tv, "I murdered the kid", he cannot be re prosecuted on charges of murder.
