U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder strongly hinted on Thursday that the government will soon determine if George Zimmerman will face federal civil rights charges in the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin.
A self-appointed neighborhood watch patrolman, Zimmerman was acquitted by a Florida jury of murder charges last year and soon thereafter the federal government announced that the Justice Department would be probing the case for any civil rights violations that might have occurred.
The 17-year-old Martin was unarmed and just steps away from the doorsteps of his father's gated community home when Zimmerman ignored a police dispatcher's stern advice to cease with following the teen, whom he later admitted he thought looked suspicious because he was wearing a hoodie.
"We are still in the process of doing the kinds of investigative things and analysis that are necessary before we can make the determination," Holder told MyNews13.com. "So that matter's ongoing."
In a video released just last week, Zimmerman claimed he now wants to attend law school and perhaps become a civil right attorney, even though since being acquitted he's and several run-ins with police, including being arrested on domestic violence charges.
Think George Zimmerman should face civil right charges? "Tell us @SportsWN"

This may have already been asked but what the hell is an article about Zimmerman doing in Sports World News???
Is polar bear hunting now considered a sport???
This is good news —
We may be able to unload all that excess inventory yet.
Agree, completely.
And thus incapable of harming or killing anyone?
Because that's the implication that anyone that writes these words intends to get to the reader.
Looks like The Mombasa MF and Team Obama cruisin' for a bit of a bruisin' in the 2014 midterms, but it's not too late to gin up Race War for the 2016 campaign.
With the base mobilized, they can safely predict 100-102% turnout in Chicago, Philly, Baltimore (with registrations dating back to 1789, they could go 103%), DC, Detroit, etc.
Look for Hillary in a Hoodie. If da hoodie fit, she mus' be it?
Maybe you can refresh my memory, when was Zimm ever charged with domestic violence? It was my understanding that both those bogus events turned out to be nothing.
I think the closest it came with his first girlfriend was that they both filed ROs against each other — so that was a nothing.
With his current girlfriend — wasn’t he charged and the charges were later dropped or were they dropped before he was charged???
I’m not sure —
Why is he a retard in your eyes for wanting to attend law school?
Be specific.
Prison is too good for him. He should be hanged for Treason for F&F (among other crimes).
How do you know he doesn’t want to keep a low profile? After all, we haven’t been really hearing about him much nowadays. The only times we do is when the media puts a article like this up.
Since Trayvon is dead can the black attempted murder be charged with violating Zimmerman’s civil rights?
OK
I’m obviously wrong about this genius, he’ll never be arrested again and will be one of the greatest civil rights lawyers this side of Morris Dees.
As snark goes, you’re hardly the King.
