Gotta be guilty of something...He looks black...
His best friend:The racists are still trying to fit up Zimmerman for protecting himself.
Following Zimmerman's acquittal on a murder charge, Taaffe has reversed his position and now says that he believes Zimmerman was motivated by race the night he followed then shot Trayvon in 2012.
Taaffe cites a phone conversation he had with Zimmerman in the days following the shooting but before Zimmerman was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
"What I know of George and his tendencies and also my opinion is that he racially profiled Trayvon Martin that night because if that had been a white kid on a cell phone, walking through our neighborhood, he wouldn’t have stayed on him the way he did and that’s a fact and I believe that in my heart," said Taaffe.

You must have me confused with someone else ... I don't do that.:doh
Weren't you one of those calling Taaffe a racist?
:lamo
Did I say under your present incarnation?You must have me confused with someone else ... I don't do that.
All the Grand Jury is looking for is any indication that the murder may have been racially motivated.
Taaffe, a very close friend and associate of Zimmerman is exactly that indicator.
They can not ignore him.
There was no murder. There was a trial for a "murder" that was never committed as evidenced by the whole not-guilty with no double jeopardy thing.
The idea of giving a private citizen voluntarily involved in a neighborhood watch a "civil rights trial" as though he was a part of the government is also absurd.

Hate is thought.
When acted upon...
...it becomes a crime.
They are crime police.
The above is not admissible evidence in any sort of trial. It might have been Zimmerman?More info in regards to Taaffe's GJ testimoney.

[...]
Taaffe said he expected to testify about a phone call days before Zimmerman's arrest from someone who claimed to be Zimmerman and made a "racial comment" about the case, Taaffe said.
He said the call came from an unknown number, so he couldn't be 100 percent sure it was Zimmerman.
Taaffe said FBI agents also have asked him about comments he made while Zimmerman's jury was deliberating. Taaffe claimed to have been tipped off about the jury's discussions, which are supposed to be secret.

It is called grasping.
Probably a reprehensible attempt to get around Constitutional guarantees against double jeopardy.
Odd. It is like you are trying to have an argument when we both agree. Strange.It's called hearsay.
double jeopardy is in the same court for the same charge. OJ can not be tried on murder charges in state court again. He was sued in civil court and could have been sued in federal court.
I don't think that "double jeopardy" means what you think it means.Exactly, so come up with a new and improved charge, and you can have a new trial. It's making an end run around double jeopardy. It's legal. Reprehensible, but legal.
