Just as a civil suit brought down OJ, so it shall Zimmerman. The civil suit drops the reasonable doubt clause. The civil suit can be decided upon the preponderance of evidence.
It will hinge on did, or did not Zimmerman exit his car. For we all know, if he’d never exited his car, Trayvon would have returned home to watch a little TV.
Therefore his actions, not Trayvon’s, propagated the incident and damages must be awarded to Trayvon’s family.
Stand your ground will have no play here. It will hinge on whether Trayvon would be alive, if Zimmerman had stayed in his car. The simple answer is yes.
So bring it on.

Except that everything that got excluded in the criminal trial comes into play in the civil case. Good luck portraying Martin as some perfect little 13 year old angel when he’s far, far from it.
Also, I’m pretty sure, though I don’t have FL statutes in front of me, that Zimmerman can keep a civil suit from occurring now that he’s been acquitted. It’s one of those laws that EVERY state needs to have.
