And Now he has a target on his back. Now for the Civil Liabilities portion. Judge should of closed that door knowing what is to follow.

I got my wrists slapped by the Mods for this post. I really didn't think I crossed any line here although they seem to believe different.

Done told her once...
Noticed how so many claim Martin was killed because he was simply walking through a neighborhood. Just goes to show how stupid and mentally manipulated these people are.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense knew this wasn't the case.

I read that the NAACP says they will not rest until ALL states repeals the stand your ground law. To that I must ask this question, "How could GZ retreat any further than he had?" GZ was on his back on the sidewalk with TM standing over the top of him and hitting GZ. Unless GZ had the power to open up the sidewalk and ground to swallow him up he had retreated as far as he could. He had NOWHERE else he could go! But then, perhaps, I am just simple minded and am using "common sense". :wink:

I believe the judge was disappointed in the verdict handed down.

This was not a stand your ground case. They did not even present a defense based on it. Surprise - the NAACP does know that.

IIRC, our law grants immunity from civil litigation if one is found not guilty in a criminal action.

I got that feeling too. Especially after all she had done to throw it to the prosecutors side. If GZ's team had not won, I could see the case being appealed on just those grounds.

FS 776.032. Something all FL gun owners should know by heart.

Does that apply even after a LE agency found probable cause to bring charges and the case goes to trial? I heard O'Mara say that he was confident that he could "get" immunity for GZ, but I'm not so sure he has it as of this moment. Do you happen to know?
There is a big procedural issue. Florida's highest court has held that the defendant is entitled to either a pre-trial hearing or, at his election, a trial determination, on the immunity. the issue is whether or not the motions to dismiss and motion for a directed verdict of acquittal were the exercise of his right to an immunity hearing, or whether he still gets one for purpose of the civil immunity.
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.
(2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.
(3) The court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).

As you said. It is a bit of a mess. Angela Corey never took it to a Grand Jury because she knew it would not fly as a First Degree Murder case.
As for Blues question, here is what it is currently.
This was done back in April so currently, there has been no hearing on it. Now his team have even more to backup GZ's claim to self defense with a jury finding of not guilty including lessor included charges.
And there still has to be another hearing on the prosecutors failure to disclose evidence in a timely manner. That is supposed to be back in front of this judge so hang in there for her to throw more bones to the state.

Gotta forgive their ignorance. It was a convoluted case and if they weren't paying close attention they could be swayed to believe the prosecution argument.My soon to be sons mother in law just posted on her facebook page, that zimmerman was guilty. Man we are going to have a fun time at the wedding coming up in the next couple of months. I hope I can compose myself.:fie::lol:
