zimmerman? i don t think so. one is called a 1983 action. you have to show acting under the color of law zimmerman was somehow dep pughtyizeed. that is not true. he was not deputized by the state of florida. that wouldn t work. the second reason would be a hate crime. that the only reason that martin died was a hate that zimmerman had towards blacks. that evidence is so weak. might it go in front of a grand jury which is what this prosecutor should have ton in the first place. maybe. i think i would save the grand jury some time and not even bring it. geraldo: you can treat me at geraldo rivera if i get some before the end of the program. what do you think of bringing federal charges in the case. now he. are angry. save the obscenities. we are not interested in that. if you have a meaningful opinion i will read them. arthur aidala, do you think there should be the department of justice getting involved
of justice getting involved here? no. i will echo your sentiments about ben crump. he is an advocate for the family. he was retired to be an advocate for the family. it could be said that he formed he created the momentum to bring this case. he created the political momentum. he cree heiated the media momentum and that is what he was retained to do for a mother and father that lost their 17-year-old. but if the feds get involved here, geraldo, i will shave your mustache because that is just not happening. geraldo: okay. i like that. i like that, it is a bold preediction there. i appreciate that. judge ferierie what to you think? i agree. rodney king was is acting under cover of law and that is why the feds were able to go after them. by the way, let s not forget that he is the one who is going
special prosecutor angela corey responded or reacted or performed her duties as an officer of the court or perform her dudeties as a politician 12346789. the latter a politician. clear from the beginning of the prosecution s case. the first prosecutor would not take it. declined the case. you have the bizarre thing where the prosecution put on their case with detectives that didn t want to be there. who already said we don t want to charge zimmerman. it almost looked like a defense case from the beginning. if you roll it back and say the first prosecutor didn t want it. this new prosecutor had to come in and she was tasked, she was tasked with bringing that charge. whatever charge it would be. she had to bring something. otherwise her job would not have been done. that is the wrong place to put a prosecutor and a stronger prosecutor frankly would have said no. geraldo: is junk frerire on the panel in front of a camera right now?
rod wheeler about the feds and justice department and eric holder? what do you think the possibility is? you have been knowing me for many, many years. i think the justice department definitely should take a look at the case. probably by way of going down through a grand jury. let me say this because i think this is important and i heard a lot of mycopanellists speak about how race was not involved in this. look at it from the perspective of an african american. mike vick was convicted of killing a dog and did three years in jail. a guy named zimmerman who can shoot an african american child and he walks free. try to victim restitution fund stand that. he did not kill and put a bull let in trayvon because he is baptist. so figure out any other reason why did he it.
everyone from the jurors to any one with any kind of legal education but even the jurors with no legal education rejected murder in the second-degree almost immediately. it was clear that george zimmerman, whatever you think, you can hate george zimmerman if you want and think of him as a monster if you want, although he don west said there is no monsters here. but to think he acted out of hate or ill will or a deprived mind to profile racially and inflict this punishment on this 17-year-old, please, ladies and gentlemen, that is simply not the case. before i go to our legal panel and ask them, you know, for their feelings about what the united states justice department is going to do, now craig has another family there, craig and tell us their response. late for those youngsters to be up. i m with melinda o neill
