Will Zimmerman Face Federal Civil-Rights Charges?

George Zimmerman SC Will Zimmerman Face Federal Civil Rights Charges?

The not-guilty verdict in George Zimmerman’s trial for second-degree murder and manslaughter is not the end of the legal story. There are still a few court cases to pursue, including a few that may emanate from Zimmerman’s camp, such as a defamation lawsuit against NBC News for doctoring audiotapes to make Zimmerman sound like a racist. Zimmerman attorney James Beasley is quoted in the Washington Post saying his team plans to “start in earnest ASAP” on this lawsuit. Incidentally, the Post also quotes NBC’s remarkable defense of its creative video editing, issued before the verdict was handed down on Saturday:

NBC Universal Media responded to the Zimmerman complaint by noting that other media outlets played up the racial angle of Zimmerman’s deadly encounter with Trayvon Martin.

The company also noted the pivotal nature of the second-degree murder case: “[I]f Zimmerman is convicted, that fact alone will constitute substantial evidence that the destruction of his reputation is the result of his own criminal conduct, and not of the broadcasts at issue which, like countless other news reports disseminated by media entities throughout the country, reported on the underlying events.”

In other words, it’s OK for the media to lie outrageously and slander someone, provided they go on to lose at trial? It would do the deeply sick world of left-wing agenda journalism a world of good if Zimmerman sued NBC “News” into oblivion, and taught the rest of them a stern lesson, but this sort of thing usually ends in a settlement.

There’s also the high probability of a civil suit from Trayvon Martin’s family against Zimmerman. ABC News reviewed this option in a piece bizarrely entitled “George Zimmerman Could Face Civil Suits, Death Threats, Federal Prosecution.” What do you mean, “could face death threats,” ABC? The man is positively buried under them. New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz just had to apologize for venturing his opinion that “Zimmerman doesn’t last a year before the hood catches up to him.”

What Victor Cruz's Contract Negotations With the New York Giants Tell Us About CEO Pay

Leave a comment

By John Tamny, Forbes Staff

About New York Giants wideout Victor Cruz, the New York Post’s Paul Schwartz recently wrote that “The Giants want to make Cruz rich, but he wants to become richer.” Cruz is a restricted free agent, and the restricted nature of his status means it’s unlikely another team will give up a first round draft pick to sign him away.

Jay-Z's Partnership With CAA And Recruitment Of Victor Cruz Has Agents Crying Foul

By Darren Heitner, Contributor

Jay-Z has made his intention to represent professional athletes very well known.  A press release disseminated earlier this month by his entertainment company, Roc Nation, officially announced the creation of Roc Nation Sports, a full-service management company that has partnered with Creative Artists Agency’s (CAA) sports division.  That same release also stated that Jay-Z will co-represent New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano.  The initial release was quickly followed with word that Jay-Z will represent New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, whose National Football League Players’ Association (NFLPA) certified Contract Advisor is Ben Dogra of CAA. Last night, Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports published an article that focuses primarily on why Cruz’s relationship with Jay-Z increases the likelihood that Cruz remains a wide receiver for the Giants.  But nestled a few paragraphs into that article is the following tidbit of information, which has many football agents up in arms.
