The Justice Department says it is looking into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights charges now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.
The department opened an investigation into Martin’s death last year but stepped aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed.
In a statement Sunday, the Justice Department said the criminal section of the civil rights division, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Middle District of Florida are continuing to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal probe, in addition to the evidence and testimony from the state trial.
The statement said that, in the government’s words, “experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation.”

Here we go again…… Amazing how the justice in this country works…. Can’t they revewiw shalom mordechai case or no becuse he’s not a black man…??????
It’s mind boggling what this country will do to satisfy Sharpton and his cronies. No wonder they will riot if they don’t get what they want. We teach them that they will get what they want.
“experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation”
Who else but Linda Reade is so experienced as to sentence someone for a slight violation for 27 years!?!
If this is not a travesty of justice, what is?
A CROOKED DOJ WILL DO JUST THAT. obama cause the original charges and the jury saw he was not guilty nown they are fishing to waste this man’s money
How far will obama go? He doesn’t have a gangsta drug growing gun carrying son yet so he’s trying to pin murder on an unfortunate killing of a thug who should have just given himself in, instead of fighting.
They should review the OJ case too.
