Obama Files Federal Charges Against George Zimmerman Following Acquittal in Shooting Murder of Trayvon Martin
Obama has actively used his influence throughout the case (think “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon”). Remember, no one can be tried again for the same crime in the SAME court... that would be double jeopardy which is disallowed under American law. Also remember that there are also both civil and federal courts remaining for Zimmerman to be tried in.
This is why OJ was tried on a civil level and was found legally liable of wrongful death but beat criminal charges. Also the same reason why the Casey Anthony case is still pending a civil trial, though she beat criminal charges.
If this goes to federal court, it will be the most popular federal trials of all time. Usually federal courts have bank robbers, and drug dealers on trial... this should be unique as you usually don't hear about many federal cases.
"Unidentified sources within the Administration have confirmed that
Obama, and Justice Eric Holder at the Department of Justice have filed
charges against Zimmerman for “violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights”."
