Obviously you can't read.
If the earlier trial is a fraud, double jeopardy will not prohibit a new trial because the party acquitted has prevented themselves from being placed into "jeopardy" to begin with
You are trying to apply someone crossing state lines to the zimmerman case?
Do you have a case where the federal government went after someone after being found not guilty in a state court?
It's not about the same crime, but the same act. For example, Rodney King.
have you gone a single post in this thread without saying "de-assimilated"?

Not how it works you moron. Quit the Internet. You're a failure.
The second rodney king trial was civil, not criminal.
The link states both federal and state can prosecute for the same crime. The link states this.
Do you have an example of a previous case?
"The Justice Department would face significant challenges in bringing a federal civil rights case against Mr. Zimmerman," said Alan Vinegrad, the former U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York. "There are several factual and legal hurdles that federal prosecutors would have to overcome: They'd have to show not only that the attack was unjustified, but that Mr. Zimmerman attacked Mr. Martin because of his race and because he was using a public facility, the street."
As to the last element, the confrontation between Zimmerman and the shooting victim occurred in a gated community, which may not fit the legal definition of a public facility.
Lauren Resnick, a former federal prosecutor in New York who successfully tried a man in the killing of an Orthodox Jew during the 1991 Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn, said the Justice Department could conceivably proceed under a theory that Zimmerman interfered with Martin's right to walk down a public street based on his race or religion. But that would be challenging, she said, because it would require prosecutors to prove, among other things, that trailing Martin on the street constituted interference.
"One could argue it did, if it freaked him out and he couldn't comfortably walk down the street -- there's an argument here," said Resnick, who is now in private practice.
But she said federal prosecutors were likely to encounter the same hurdles as state prosecutors in establishing that Zimmerman was driven by racial animus and was the initial aggressor, as opposed to someone who acted in self-defense.
"When you have a fact pattern where one person's alive, and one person's not, and the person alive is the defendant, it's hard to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt," said Resnick.
Samuel Bagenstos, a former No. 2 official in the Justice Department's civil rights division, said: "This is an administration that hasn't shied away from bringing hate crimes cases that are solid prosecutions based on the facts and the law, but from what I've seen this would be a very difficult case to prosecute federally because the government would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman acted because of Trayvon Martin's race. If you're trying to prove racial motivation, you are usually looking for multiple statements related to why he is engaging in this act of violence. I think it's a difficult case to prove."
While the initial FBI investigation stated that race place no role; there is nothing preventing a "fuller" investigation to come up with a different concept/information and twist it to apply.
If the federal government goes after zimmerman it will be wrong on so many levels.
Not only double jeopardy, but the trial would pit two minority groups against each other.
This is not a white vs black issue. It is a latino vs black problem.
It would not be double jeopardy. Stop talking about things that you have no idea about.
In the eyes of the public it would be double jeopardy.
Police profile cars all the time.
Bank robbers driving a red 4 door car. I bet the police pull over every red 4 door car in a 10 mile radius.
And so what if Zimmerman profiled Martin. That did not give Martin the right to attack Zimmerman.
Based on the high burden of proof I don't see how the Fed can charge GZ with a hate crime or violation of TM civil rights.

Don't you have a co-worker to poison?You are an idiot. You have no idea how double jepordy works.
quoted. Prove this immediately or post reported for trolling.On the call with the 911 operator we can hear Zimmerman use the N word, so we know he attacked trayvon out of hate.
Would you like to move the goal post some more? Profiling by race is called racial profiling and is indeed racist, just because you think it's ok doesnt change that fact.
No it wouldn't because that's not correct.
