If I understand the workings of Florida's laws, Zimmerman used a self defense argument in the recent court case. He is not provided civil immunity under those laws, but if sued could seek immunity under the Florida Stand You Ground laws.
Again, as I (non lawyer who did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night) understand it.

Re: Feds want Zimmerman, any way they can get him
I agree with the thoughts that the DOJ is likely to inappropriately pursue their Civil Rights Violations investigation re: George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
That said, we all know or should know the temperment and discretion that Mr. Cotton requires if we choose to participate in and on this forum.
It'd be my advice to carefully choose your words when discussing these very volatile topics. Make no mistake, I feel that we've seen and are likely to see very inappropriate actions on the part of the Federal Government and those that lead it. Beyond that, I'll choose to respect the established limits of decorum.
We've got a good thing here, please respect our host.
