Don't think so their chief. Can't sue in civil court if found not guilty under self defense.

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?

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.

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.

Really, we go around murdering people and claim self defense. How often does that done. And it seems to me that most of these cases go to trial

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?

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.
