Do you even understand what we're talking about?
We're not talking about Zimmerman's guilt or innocence. We're talking about a civil suit initiated by Zimmerman.
In the criminal trial the state had a burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In this case, it is now Zimmerman doing the suing for defamation and for malicious prosecution. As such in this case it is HE that has the burden of proof by preponderance of the evidence. He is claiming witnesses lied. He is claiming a conspiracy between prosecutors and the Martins. And the burden is on him to prove it. And oh what a coincidence. This suit is timed right before a conspiracy fantasy book and movie are due out. Further, his attorney is notorious for conspiracy fantasies. Oh surprise surprise surprise. People that understand the law understand that just because you're found not guilty doesn't mean the prosecution against you was malicious or any of their witnesses lied and defamed you. They also understand Zimmerman has two chances of winning. Slim, and none and none just entered the stretch with a 25 length lead. They'll make more on the conspiracy fantasy circuit and the bigot bucks circuit than they will on any lawsuit. Oh and I'm sure whether I want you as my attorney. That would be a no.
