RE: Can you imagine what a not guilty/self defense finding will now precipitate?

Charges have not been filed, nor should they, based on all the information that has come out about the incident.

Maybe Trayvon's relatives can file a "wrongful death" civil lawsuit, depending on how the laws work in Florida.

But that won't stop the New Black Panthers from hunting down Zimmerman. And you know they get tons of donations from rich black rap stars, for instance.
