DOJ to resume an ongoing Civil Rights investigation on Zimmerman.
It is an article that is only available to paid subscribers. Apparently the investigation was started two years ago. The issue dealt with whether Zimmerman violated Trayvon Martin's Civil Rights. The FBI which are often used as the "legmen" for the DOJ have been selectively interviewing individuals, including the ex-County medical examiner, BAO, who claims that he isn't sure if Zimmerman violated Martin's Civil Rights, but he feels that they were violated by the medical examiner's office, the Sanford Police Department and Special Prosecutor Angela Corey. (That explains the hit piece on BAO from the paper, though admittedly, he is a person that is hard to defend.)
Here are four paras from the article:
DOJ civil-rights probe in Zimmerman-Trayvon case continues
In Washington, D.C., two-and-a-half years ago, the nation's top civil-rights enforcer, Thomas Perez at the U.S. Department of Justice, sat down with Sanford's mayor, city manager and U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown and promised to investigate whether Trayvon Martin was the victim of something more heinous than a homicide.
Was he also the victim of a killer, intent on harming him because he was black?
That was March 20, 2012. The Department of Justice still has no answer to that question.
Today civil-rights investigators are due back in Central Florida to continue their work on the case
