08/08/2013-MOTION REINSTATE AND CONTINUANCE AGAINST ABOVE NAME DEFENDANT GEORGE ZIMMERMAN
(Excerpt) Read more at seminoleclerk.org ...
I read somewhere, and now I can’t find it again, that Florida Law provides for defendants who claim self defense to be compensated if they are prosecuted in the absence of a valid Affidavit of Probable Cause. I’d like to find that again, and look into it further. I hope it’s true.
if it were copied from an actual legal document, and not someone's fantasy, the "to" would be "with", or so it would seem.
third parties have no standing. they aren’t affected.
A couple points, but basically that would still be double jeopardy.
Zimmerman was found not guilty of both Murder 2 and the necessarily included lesser offense of manslaughter.
Double jeopardy ostensibly covers all charges flowing from the same act or actions. The government can;t keep putting a person to trial on "lesser and lesser offenses" that flow from the same act. The exception right now is that the federal government will violate the constitution (and the judges think this is a nifty idea!) by charging with a separate federal crime (e.g., hate crime), if the state fails to obtain a conviction. That's how the police officers in the Rodney King incident were jailed. Tried twice for the same acts, but one trial was on a state offense by state prosecutors, the other was a federal offense tried by federal prosecutors.
This is a BS filing by a third party. The Court will reject it. IIRC, it was filed by a lawyer who practices in a different state, otherwise the lawyer would be sanctioned by the Court for a frivolous, legally baseless filing.
Looks to me like they want a trial in Dade County for a civil rights violation with a FL legislature sign off.
It means Jeantell is now a lawyah. She can’t read no “not guilty” verdict.
Appeasement
Was the jury paperwork for acquittal in cursive?
"Official Website of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, Florida State Courts, serving Brevard and Seminole Counties."
"Please continue to check this website for updates. Documents will be posted as they are made available for public distribution."
> Holder found something new which he believes is justification for another trial?
Thats what it looks like and they are going to try and circumvent constitutional protections to violate the double jeopardy clause. They want what they want and they will lie, cheat, and steal, whatever it takes to get what they want. Sounds like the currentadministration summed up in a nutshell.
Those were probably filed by the guy who filed the first amicus brief — Georgia Sex Offender Cleve Molette:

looks like time for Zimmerman to move to Russia............
This is a clear case of the Afro-Americans (not American-Americans) expecting Obama to circumvent the Constitutional rights of Zimmerman to prosecute him no matter what....in exchange for their devoted and irrational support of him in both elections that put (and kept) him in office.
Nothing more.
I trust that Mark O’Mara and Don West are on it.....they are totally motivated by the LAW and the CONSTITUTION, and seem disgusted, as we all are, at the political interjection attempted throughout this case!!
Not if it’s written in cursive, that’s for sure.
