Federal Trial Against Zimmerman Won’t End Well
When in 1992 a California jury acquitted the four officers who beat Rodney King, the result was a race riot of a kind not seen since the late 1960s -- followed by a federal civil-rights prosecution that convicted two of the officers. The acquittal of George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin hasn’t produced rioting, but it has spawned a growing demand, led by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for a federal trial to re-charge Zimmerman with violating Martin’s civil rights.
The laws have changed since 1992 to make bringing such a prosecution easier than it would once have been. Yet the likelihood of getting a conviction would be extremely small -- and instead of placating people who feel aggrieved by the first trial, another failed prosecution might make race relations in America worse, not better.

I honestly think Tayvon's family should sue George Zimmerman. George has already indicated he want to sue NBC for defamation of character. I think Tayvon should sue triple the amount Zimmerman is suing NBC for. Hit em where it hurt the most, his pocket.
