Lawsuits against who? hrmjustin Jul 2013 #1

If acquitted RGR375 Jul 2013 #17

If found guilty being sued is the least of his problems. RGR375 Jul 2013 #32

Not to mention it is very difficult to collect on a civil judgement in Florida anyway davidn3600 Jul 2013 #73

Zimmerman didn't assert a "stand your ground" defense DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2013 #157

Doubtful the jury will be instructed about that either. JimDandy Jul 2013 #136
