Obama Files Federal Charges Against George Zimmerman Following Acquittal in Shooting Murder of Trayvon Martin

Just when we thought the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case was over after Zimmerman’s acquittal, the Obama Administration has taken the steps needed to file federal charges, thus sidestepping the well established double jeopardy, against Zimmerman. 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”.

Double jeopardy is an often misunderstood concept in American Law. The rule merely states that an individual cannot be tried twice for the same crime in the SAME COURT. Liberal Justice Department officials often charge Americans with crimes from which they have previously been acquitted by filing federal charges on a similar crime in a federal court.

At approximately 10:01 pm EST this evening Judge Debra Nelson (pictured right) announced that the all women jury had found Zimmerman not guilty of fatally shooting and killing the 17-year old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL, just over one year ago.

The case has received national attention and nearly wall-to-wall coverage on all mainstream media outlets. While Al Sharpton and the entire staff at MSNBC has advocated heavily for a guilty verdict, we on the right have been praying for an acquittal for Zimmerman who was simply exercising his right to “Stand your Ground” (a Florida statute that apparently allows individuals to follow, track, then attack young Black youth before shooting them dead if feeling at all threatened throughout the process).

Obama has actively used his influence throughout the case (think “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon”). Earlier this week, multiple sources, including Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the entire right wing, has reported on the involvement of the Federal Government in spending millions of dollars in support of anti-Zimmerman protests (race riots). According to Fox News, ” The Community Relations Service (CRS), a unit of DOJ, reported expenses related to its deployment in Sanford to help manage protests between March and April 2012, according to documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.”

I don't believe this. Until I see something official from the White House or Justice Dept, I can't believe it.

Obama needs to stay out of this.

GZ could face a second prosecution if the Attorney General decides that GZ acted with intent to violate the civil rights of an individual. They will use the dual sovereignty exception to the double jeopardy.

Being that they keep bringing up Rodney King, they will us the dual sovereignty doctrine, it was used in the Rodney King incident.

2. Under the dual sovereignty doctrine, successive prosecutions by two States for the same conduct are not barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and, hence, Alabama was not barred from trying petitioner. Pp. 87-93.

(a) The dual sovereignty doctrine provides that when a defendant in a single act violates the "peace and dignity" of two sovereigns by breaking the laws of each, he has committed two distinct "offences" for double jeopardy purposes

I don't think those charges should be filed but it is not really double jeapordy as the charges are different from the current case just concluded. That is technically. Of course the reality is that this is just another way for the race card folks to try and get their pound of flesh.

A civil suit could also be brought by Trayvon's parents like the one that Nicole Simpson's parents brought against OJ and won. The burden of proof in civil courts is less than criminal ones.

This hasn't happened yet, the "civil rights" agitators are calling for the DOJ to do just that, but no announcement from DC that it has happened.

That doesn't stop the liars at fox from broadcasting and rebroadcasting their lies.

If FNC lies all the time, then I would think you of all people would love them, since you lie all the time yourself.

A civil case will accomplish nothing but cost the tax payers millions of dollars. The government will lose hands down.
