Holder: Trayvon charges still possible

[ShooterInPA1]

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday said the Justice Department has not decided whether to file federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman in the 2012 killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Martin in an incident that captured national interest, was acquitted of murder charges in July. But the Justice Department could still pursue a federal civil rights case.

Holder said the agency’s investigation is under way.

“I'm not sure exactly how much longer that will take, but we will get to a point where we are able to make a determination,” he told reporters at an unrelated news conference at the agency’s headquarters.

Holder, during an April speech to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, pledged to “take appropriate action” if the agency finds evidence of a potential federal civil rights crime in the Zimmerman case.

However, he has since cautioned that the Justice Department faces a “very high barrier” in pursuing federal criminal charges in such cases.

On Monday, he noted that the courts had already weighed in Zimmerman’s case.

"The case of George Zimmerman — and what happens there — I think a substantial part was resolved in the case that was tried," Holder said.

These people don't know the meaning of Double Jeopardy nor do they care. As long as they are in office, nobody is safe.

Most likely it will be a civil rights violation. Zimmerman won't be retried for murder.

What civil rights violation? St. Skittles was not targeted bc of his race and this was proven during the trial.

They are waiting for him to say or do something unrelated and stupid. Then they would use that to punish him.

Witch hunt. They will try and apply something unrelated.

Exactly! Now you are catching on.

Posting about double jeopardy happening, really, they were gonna retry for murder after an acquittal?

I wouldn't put it by this gang. You paying attention to how they are shredding the Constitution?

I'm sure any federal judge would love to hear how filing for charges of murder against Zimmerman would not be double jeopardy.

"Holder: Trayvon charges still possible"

So are treason, murder, and obstruction charges against Holder! He better worry more about watching his own back once the great one leaves office.

They will just be pardoned by the next crony.
