There is NO WAY they can level civil rights charges on this.
If they did something like that it would be a kick in the nuts to the rule of law.
This case was NEVER a civil rights issue.

Sure there is. It doesn’t mean they’ll win but they can absolutely do it and ruin the kid’s life with another five or six years of courtrooms and legal processes not to mention holding him in Federal prison without bail. They can do all of that.
