Zimmerman will never see the insides of another Courtroom - move on people

[1-Old-Man]

Like it or not Zimmerman was acquitted. He will not be tried again, he can not be tried again. Two weeks from now he will be as irrelevant as Sarah Palin, but with a lot less money.

1. Ya', time to fill the forum with quotes by Greenwald

sponsored by the O/P

I agree with you. Greenwald has never given me any reason to distrust him, not so for this Admin.

Although i've voted for him twice I find Obama and his Administration a deep and bitter disappointment. At a time when we need a Democrat the likes of FDR more than ever what we get is something much much less; hardly a Democrat at all to my eyes.

4. Mhm.

[patricia92243]

2. For this crime. I will be shocked if we don't hear from him again - pedophelia - something.

[ananda]

7. He has been a pedophile already, hasn't he?

..

[B2G]

28. I haven't heard that. Do you have a link or something?

That's a pretty wild thing to say.

[Just Saying]

31. This story has been around for awhile

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/16/george-zimmerman_n_1676729.html

A woman with close ties to George Zimmerman and his family told investigators that members of Zimmerman’s family were boastfully proud racists and that for more than a decade Zimmerman sexually molested her.

[B2G]

34. I wonder why the FBI didn't interview her

[Just Saying]

36. I don't know the details there.

It's possible statute of limitations ran out as far as charging him but again I don't know.

[marshall]

8. Rachel Jeantel pegged him as a pedophile rapist

I'm not sure what tweaked her or Trayvon's radar.

[Dreamer Tatum]

47. No, she pegged him as a GAY rapist. nt

[marshall]

48. She also specifically mentioned Trayvon's younger brother

But I do agree that Trayvon probably did not think of himself as a child, so any fear he had of being sexually assaulted himself by Zimmerman would be based on the perception that he was gay.

9. I've no doubt that GZ is

going to O.J. himself sooner or later, hopefully it won't be at the cost of another innocent life.

[femmocrat]

3. Never say never.

I don't have much hope for the federal investigation, but I am hoping the Martin family proceeds with the civil suit. I don't want that bastard make one cent from a book or movie deal.

Plus, he could always commit another crime. Not out of the realm of possibility.

[heaven05]

35. he's

got 30,000 a month being donated to him on his website, according to Nancy Grace? IF this is true, the racists of amerikkka will keep him afloat for as long as he lives.

[wercal]

43. I doubt we will see a civil suit

I have read reports that the Martin family has settled with the HOA, for some sum of money.

So why not go after Zimmerman?

1. He doesn't have anything. Sure he may profit in the future from a book or something like that...but there's nothing to get right now.

2. Disclosure. In a civil suit, the sky would be the limit. All types of nasty stuff about Zimmerman could be introduced; and, he could be forced to testify. But it goes both ways. We would get a daily dose of nasty stuff about Martin...every single facebook post, tweet, and photograph he has ever posted on social media. And, his school records records (grades and disciplinary) would come out. Why on earth would the Martin family want to drag his name through the mud...to get the big 'nothing' in assets that Zimmerman has?

5. its not just about him, its about a system that is biased against african americans

a system that treat african american lives as less than that of of other human lives. its not just zimmerman, its time for another conversation about race.

and don't presume to tell me when i need to get over something.

[HappyMe]

6. No, he can't be tried for

murdering Trayvon again. But I think we haven't heard the last of this ass. Plus it is time to re-think syg laws and gun control.

[trumad]

10. Awww the old move on Meme.

A famous meme here on DU usually followed with a big fuck you.

[Katashi_itto]

13. +1

[Chan790]

11. Rebuttals.

1.) He most certainly can be tried on federal civil right violation charges...he has no jeopardy immunity on them. Will he be? Can he be? Yes. So please do not presume...especially when you do so by making factually-incorrect statements.

2.) He can be sued. That is almost a certainty, if only to insure he cannot profit off his notoriety.

3.) As LLP said: "don't presume to tell me when I need to get over something."

[markiv]

12. he'll see a civil damages lawsuit

and the exact same jurors might hold him accountable on the civil 'preponderance of the evidence' standard, even though they didnt on the criminal 'beyond reasonable doubt' standard

BOTH verdicts in OJ might have been correct on this principal (i didnt follow that case)

[maddezmom]

14. Feel free to move on

But don't expect everyone to stop the discussions.

[hrmjustin]

24. +1

Well said!

[Katashi_itto]

15. Don't forget Sanford Police Dept

It's going to be a smoking crater by the time the Feds get through with them

[noamnety]

16. "Zimmerman will never see the insides of another Courtroom"

- zimmerman's fans in 2005
- zimmerman's fans again in 2005
- zimmerman's fans in 2006

[yardwork]

19. Exactly. /nt

[LaydeeBug]

37. perzactly, and the civil case hasn't happened yet.

said the Perlman's to OJ Simpson.

[premium]

17. Finally, a voice of reason,

and you're right, he's not going to see the inside of another courtroom as a criminal defendant, including a Federal courtroom.
The only courtroom he might see is a civil courtroom and I have my doubts about that, Omara is moving for civil immunity which he'll probably get due to FL. laws on self defense.

On edit: He probably will see the inside of a courtroom again as I'm convinced that he'll pull an O.J. in sooner or later, hopefully not at the expense of another innocent life.

[Kolesar]

21. These Snowbots are dynamite!

Could you not show the good taste to stay off the Martin threads at DU. Spend your day blogging elsewhere about four wheeling or complaining about how many pages are in the Affordable Care Act??

[premium]

22. Excuse me,

but you don't get to tell me where I can or cannot post.

[Kolesar]

23. Where's your old buddy?

Ran away

[premium]

25. No idea who you're talking about,

have a good day.

[heaven05]

38. I'd

like to tell you and '1oldman' where to go, but I won't.

[premium]

41. I'd

like to tell you to have a good day.

[premium]

29. BTW,

this isn't a Martin thread, it's a Zimmerman thread.

[yardwork]

18. I am not sure about that. He'll probably get in trouble again.

I hope that Zimmerman doesn't kill anybody else but there is a good chance that he will be in trouble with the law again.

[TeeYiYi]

20. ...until he faces charges for molesting his cousin.

Never say never.

TYY

[arely staircase]

26. he most certainly will see the inside of a courtroom

when the martin family sues him for the wrongful death of their son,

[one_voice]

27. He'll see the inside of a...

courtroom again, bank on it.

He thinks he's untouchable. He's going to cross a line he cant come back from....



edited to add: this goes beyond Zimmerman. It's bigger than that. That you can't see that...

[HockeyMom]

30. Or ever be on the other side of that bench

That will never happen.

[kelliekat44]

32. Yes he will because he is suing Trayvon's parents and NBC. nt

[uponit7771]

33. There's MORE evidence against GZ than many Criminal Civil Rights convictions in the past and

...he's going to be suing NBC so this statement is false on it's face

[hlthe2b]

39. He certainly will if his family files civil charges--no choice at all and he HAVE to testify...

WHile i have my doubts that DOJ will file hate crimes (though I wish they would and could do so successfully), this is Not double jeopardy. If FEDS charge, either through direct decision or that of a Grand Jury, they most certainly CAN bring him back to trial again.

[Blue_Tires]

40. I'm not trying to re-try the case

and I give less than a flying fuck on Zimmerman's ultimate fate...Hope he makes a million dollars...Make him the new NRA spokesman...Hell, send him an honorary DU membership since so many people here admire him and he's supposedly a 'democrat'...I just wanted to know the WHY (thank you for outing yourself, juror B37) and voice my reasons on why I believe the people involved got this very, very wrong...

Everyone knows that sadly Martin's case isn't the first and isn't the last...It isn't even the most RECENT...As a black male living in arguably the biggest "gun state", in a conservative community not unlike Zimmerman's, MY concern is how this gets prevented from happening again and again, so I don't get shot while walking my dog at night...

[LanternWaste]

42. I imagine he'll accompany his wife to the court room for her August 21st perjury hearing

I imagine he'll accompany his wife to the court room for her August 21st perjury hearing. Due to his direct involvement, he may even be called to testify.

Like it or not...

[Little Star]

44. You are wrong and you can always move on yourself.

[mzmolly]

45. Have you spoken to his cousin, to verify

that? Do you know that he's raked in 30K a month for his "defense" fund?

[uppityperson]

46. Will there be changes at the local police dept as to how they handle murders like these? Will they

check local houses for relatives? Will they check the one doing the killing for drugs? Will they document better? Etc?

[otohara]

49. Stand Your Ground is The Issue Now

so no, I won't be moving on.

[KamaAina]

50. Sure he will

he just has to commit another crime first. It's only a matter of time.

I just hope no one else ends up dead.
