where do you think George Zimmerman will go from here?

[UncleMike]

where ever he goes, tell zimmerman to buy a better gun

No matter where he lives he's going to need one or more AR, or similar weapon, plus enough ammo and mags to get good with it/them.
I'm afraid some punk azz gansta, or group of same, is going to try to make a name for him/them self by taking Zimmerman out.
That seems to be a popular theme in the "Hate Zimmerman" tweets.

Zimmerman is going to have to look over his shoulder 24/7

Zimmerman is going to have to look over his shoulder 24/7

Or make enough money to hire someone else to do that for him.

This isnt a personal jab, but I see the suits against the media somewhat necessary for him to CYA financially. He probably knows hes gonna get a civil suit, and much like OJ could lose. (burden of proof is lower in civil cases for those playing the home game) I can see the proactive lawsuits as financial insurance as much as retribution for libel/slander. If in the end he gets bank, great. Otherwise he can effectively make NBC et al pay his civil losses for him. He will not lose any civil trail. The crap will come out about TMs thug lifestyle. TM parents will not sit through all the crap that will come out.

If he is smart he will leave the US and immigrate to Panama.

His mother is from Peru I gather, maybe he can head down there for awhile. Perhaps she has some family that can him get on his feet in a new place. Wherever he goes, best of luck to him.

Florida 'stand your ground' law yields some shocking outcomes depending on how law is applied | Tampa Bay Times

The new law only requires law enforcement and the justice system to ask three questions in self-defense cases:
Did the defendant have the right to be there?

Was he engaged in a lawful activity?

Could he reasonably have been in fear of death or great bodily harm?

Without convincing evidence to the contrary, "stand your ground'' protection prevails.

If prosecutors press charges, any defendant claiming self-defense is now entitled to a hearing before a judge. At the immunity hearing, a judge must decide based on the "preponderance of the evidence" whether to grant immunity. That's a far lower burden than "beyond a reasonable doubt," the threshold prosecutors must meet at trial.

"It's a very low standard to prove preponderance," said Weaver, the West Palm Beach lawyer. "If 51 percent of the evidence supports your claim, you get off."

I guess GZ and his lawyers expected the case to be very weak, if they thought it was going to be guilty, they might have called for a SYG hearing. Though, I heard, they can now use court testimony in a SYG hearing also against civil suits.

Remember, in a criminal trial, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that he is guilty (there can be no doubt he is innocent).

In a civil trial, the jury only needs the burden of proof. In other words, unlike a criminal trial, a civil trial only needs to show that its likely he did it based on evidence, with one side's evidence being stronger than the other.

So a criminal trial you must PROVE he did something (beyond a reasonable doubt). In a civil trial its simply "does one side's evidence show that he did it more than the other side's say he didnt?"

THAT is why OJ walked on the criminal charges, but was later found guilty in the civil trial. Criminal: Was he definitely the one that killed Nicole and the other guy? No proof, no judgement. Civil: Was he likely the one who did it? yep. pay up.

Get out of the country if he is smart.

Long term he needs to change his name and move away from Florida. Phoenix maybe?

Why does anyone care?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Why does anyone care?

Because an innocent man was subjected to the full power of the state and now the mob forms vowing violence against this same innocent man.

It is disconcerting to INGO as it could happen to any of us.

Yes

 

[ViperJock]

Exactly. The DOJ gonna put him on trial for...racism? WTF.

 

[KLB]

Shouldn't he be immune to civil lawsuits since he was found not guilty? Seems that would make it a justifiable use of force.

776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.—
(1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.

I love how people are crying for "justice" for the killng of TM, all the while advocating violence towards GZ. Kinda hypocritical isnt it?

According to The Blaze, Z-man's next stop will be law school.

Besides not having the grades to enter law school, I don't think he has the type of "celebrity" that would make him attractive to a school.

his GPA has floated between 0.5 and 2.3.
