Trayvon Martin Case

And riots.

Cue wrongful death suit.

Does he even have anything worth going after?

I would assume not much.
I also assume he will lose his shirt.

HG28 - You aren't found "guilty" in a civil suit. You are found liable. For those of us who don't study law at Holiday Inns, it is a significant difference.

I am glad that, at least some folks, still take the presumption of innocence seriously.

I disagree with it but glad it's,over

I would also hope that States with 'Stand your ground' laws review it, it needs some manner of tweak.

The South Carolina Supreme Court had made the unusual move of halting a murder trial to hold a hearing on the state’s so-called “stand your ground” law — but it’s who’s claiming the defense that’s likely to turn heads: an armed intruder who shot and killed the man whose home he broke into.
Gregg Isaac testified in court this week that he entered the apartment of Antonio Corbitt in 2005 with another man, Tavares World, after World kicked in the door, The State newspaper reported. Isaac testified that as World and Corbitt fought, it looked like Corbitt was going to pull a gun and shoot Isaac, so instead, Isaac shot Corbitt twice. Corbitt stumbled outside and died.
Isaac said he also feared for his life from World, because World had threatened to kill him unless he went along with him.
Isaac’s defense attorney Mark Schnee argued that his client should be granted immunity from prosecution because South Carolina’s 2006 “stand your ground” law allows people to use deadly force if they fear for their lives.

Speaking of....I had you in mind when I posted this on twitter.

The ignorance spewed on twitter by "Holiday Inn Express" lawyers in regards to justice is laughable.

No surprise that Zimmerman got off. Self defense is a sneaky way of getting out of the law in terms of murder/manslaughter.
