Why? There should have been a trial from the get go. We just can't go around murdering people and claim self defense and have the police say oh, ok.....we'll take your word for it
Sure. Trayvon's parents will support that, after all, they can attach the payment in their civil suit. I don't see Zimmerman ever benefitting from this at all. Trayvon's parents will no doubt have a civil suit pending, and snatch any money for a long, long time.
Don't think so their chief. Can't sue in civil court if found not guilty under self defense.
Well the DOJ is looking into it. Would you put it past them to break laws to get to him? I wouldnt. Holder is still their head guy, and he's a racist jerk.
Nah, the FBI already established and supported he had no racial motives. Would be a tough sell for racist Holder. Then again he lets the Black Panthers walk and they were on tape. Nothing like a racist has the top legal counsel of a nation eh?
Where will he get the money to sue? If it comes to that.
Are there really this many people that do not understand how this works? Zimmerman has a large pay day coming, the lawyers will be happy to work on a percentage basis.
I see the whole thing as a big distraction manufactured by NBC and others to promote it into a race thing.
Hey MSM!
How about the fact of self defense?
or
what about that he was 17?
or
etc.,etc.,
Oh, not those ONLY... race!!! racial!!! racism!!!
Well, at least the courts didn't buy into the media's emotional sensationalism.
Yes, it's a tragedy, either side, Zimmerman will be haunted...Now he will be threatened because of what the media(other guilty parties eh B. Panthers) did....pushed their agenda, most likely until he dies.
Good for him on suing. Media needs to be held accountable, stopped for their agenda pushing BS.
The same way many lawsuits are paid for. A percentage basis.
but you have to come up with different costs as they come up like experts, etc. Don't forget that even if he could win it would be appealed and could take years.
Parents of minor child sure can sue in a civil court for wrongful death. BTW, Fox News already made it impossible to sue a news corporation for dispensing false information. What goes around, comes around.
No they didn't. media gets sued all the time for false information.
The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
Fox News made that claim over FIRING an employee, not even close to the same thing.
What will you guys say when he wins/settles for millions and they aren't immune like your claim? Where are you guys getting this crap talking points from?
but you have to come up with different costs as they come up like experts, etc. Don't forget that even if he could win it would be appealed and could take years.
NBC will be doing everything they can to settle. You act like this is setting new ground. This is just basic everyday law. Richard Jewel didn't have the money either when he won his suits.
