    FBI may charge George Zimmerman with hate crime | www.wftv.com

    Now this is nothing new. But what surprised me is what their legal analyst said:

    “Mr. Zimmerman could be punished by up to life in prison or even the death penalty,” said Sheaffer.

    Unless the law has changed, pretty sure their legal analyst is wrong about the death penalty.

    Also, Prosecutors are required to release information to the defense and the public. Wonder when this will happen?

    the article I posted gave plenty of good reasons, what more should I need to add?



    none, why is the gov't even involved in this case?

    It's a dumb suit meant to draw attention away from the case, that much is obvious. Doesn't it make MORE sense to wait til one's acquitted before bringing up a civil suit? No judge is going to rule on this case until after the criminal trial has concluded. If Zimmerman is found guilty, then his suit is moot.

    A hate crime resulting in death IS a capital offense.

    "State prosecutors said Zimmerman gave several inconsistent statements to Sanford police, which is, in part, their basis for charging him with second-degree murder."

    if this is the case why did it take so long to charge him?

    is there anything in this case that makes sense?

    exactly! before the thread completly derailed and still operated some what in facts the stanford police were on record of saying his story was consistent.

    thats why no charges were filed, so who is lying the stanford police or the prosecutor?

    it really does seem like zimmerman is getting rail roaded doesnt it

    I think they realize they lost white public opinion and will now start up a full scale smear campaign to change that. I wouldn't believe anything that is said about the guy at this point.

    I'm pretty sure they haven't filed anything yet.

    The article was written on what he could do if he wanted, even though he has plenty of grounds to sue. His mother (based on threats received) is on 8 months leave from her job. I'm not even sure his wife is working at the moment.

    The bogus editing of thos tapes and the doctoring done on the video to hide the wounds drew a lot of negative attention to this case. I doubt he would have ever been charged if not for all the fake media involvement....
