Not the case. OJ also had a civil case brought against him.

According to the verdict, it was in self defense from Martin.

By the way, I guess my post went over your head; do i need to quote all the posters who are threatening Zimmerman and wishing him bad things? Are you so naive you do not see these posts?

If only Zimmerman stayed in his vehicle Martin would still be alive and I bet that -to this moment and forever- Zimmerman regrets doing it as much as anyone.

Good thing the jury took care to clarify what manslaughter entails before reaching the verdict - we wouldn't want to make assumptions before decisively altering somebody's life or anything, right?

It's a sad day when somebody gets away with murder. I am sorry for the parents of the kid who got killed by a fake cop who profiled this young man. Justice will be served by way of karma.

Someone should sue Sharpton for damages.

I think this is Florida law though.

His Attorney said the same thing - they would fight any civil suit on the basis of immunity.

It wouldn't be that way in my state - but that must be the law in Florida.
