Good. Let them petition all they want, this "case" isn't going anywhere. The Justice Department (yes, even this Justice Department) won't touch this case with a ten-foot-pole. To prove any sort of "civil rights" crime, they would have to prove not only that Zimmerman was not acting in self-defense, but also that, at the moment Zimmerman pulled the trigger, he did so specifically because Martin was black. It's a case that would get laughed out of the grand jury, and even Holder knows it.

I've been saying that all along. They just want to milk it and stir anger from the plantation dwellers.

So guess what they're working on now? My money's on, cooking up a jury that'll convict automatically -- an O.J. jury.

I'm guessing they'll try to move the new trial to a "less polluted" jurisdiction, someplace quieter .... like Detroit, or East St. Louis, or Southside Chicago, or D.C.

Like that.

Flip side: They don't want a trial, like you say .... they want the issue of "justice for Trayvon", to whip up the 97% straight-ticket, low-information voter turnout next year.
