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.

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.[/URL]

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

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
 

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

Bullshit but I'm glad its over. Maybe people can go back to happier things.

That's FUBAR, armed intruder? Guilty.

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
 

Why are people so shocked about the verdict? Casey Anthony was also given a not-guilty verdict, but the fact still remained that it couldn't be proven "without a shadow of a doubt". This isn't about whether you think they are guilty, it's whether or not the evidence shows they are guilty.

All of you burn in hell.

This just in.

Aaron Hernandez has just claimed self defense with all 10 people he's shot in the past.
