In the Rodney King case the Feds didn’t move in until after the innocent verdict was issued on the local charges. Perhaps the best outcome for Zimmerman might be to have a state case drawn out until after Jan 20, 2013 when Holder won’t be around to use him as a political football.
If a lame-duck Holder; i.e., after an Obama loss, gets impatient and attempts to indict before the state is done, it would be really, really juicy for the incoming DOJ to withdraw Federal charges just like he did in the NBPP voter intimidation case. Of course, I’m just dreaming. :)
What federal statute would apply to Zimmerman if he has not first been convicted in a FL court?
I'm no lawyer but it's hard for me to imagine that *jury selection* will even be complete on election day...if not later.

If Osama Obama loses (Lord,hear our prayer) and Zimmerman has,by some miracle,been acquitted before 1/20/13 it's hard for me to imagine the Attorney Corporal NOT indicting Zimmerman.In fact,I can absolutely see him,under those circumstances,indicting Zimmerman even before the FL case has been completed.Remember,we're talking about pure psychopaths here...disciples of Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers.
