What's next for George Zimmerman?

George Zimmerman, seen here being congratulated by his defense team after being found not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, still faces federal scrutiny and a possible civil suit.
By Tracy Connor, Staff Writer, NBC News
Acquitted of second-degree murder by a Florida jury, George Zimmerman still faces federal scrutiny and a possible civil suit that could compel him to do something he avoided at his trial: testify.
The not-guilty verdict Saturday night spells the end of the riveting state criminal case against Zimmerman, who claimed self-defense in the death of Trayvon Martin, but his legal odyssey may be far from over.
"We clearly must move on to the next step in terms of the federal government and the civil courts," the Rev. Al Sharpton said on MSNBC after the verdict.
The Justice Department began looking into the case less than a month after the Feb. 26, 2012, shooting, and the NAACP launched a MoveOn.org petition Sunday calling for civil rights charges.
In April 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder said there would be a "high bar" to make it a federal case.
"For a federal hate crime?we have to prove the highest standard in the law. You know, something that was reckless,?that was negligent does not meet that standard. We have to show that there was specific intent to do the crime with the requisite state of mind," Holder said then.

The parents of Trayvon Martin, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, have not said whether they will sue George Zimmerman.
NBC legal analyst Kendall Coffey said he would be surprised if the feds step in, though, especially since Florida prosecutors did not make race an issue in the criminal case.
"To my recollection, there was no evidence during the trial that would add to a hate-crime theme," Coffey said. "The record that this trial creates, as well as the outcome, do not hand authorities additional tools to invoke federal jurisdictions."
Rod Vereen, a lawyer who represents Martin friend and prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel, said that it would be unusual for the Justice Department to bring a civil-rights case against a private individual ? as opposed to law-enforcement personnel ? acquitted of murder.
"I know that there is a petition going around," Vereen said outside the church where the Martin family attended services Sunday. "I doubt very seriously that anything is going to come of it now."
More likely, experts said, is a wrongful-death suit by Martin's family against Zimmerman, either in Seminole County, where the teen was killed, or in Miami, where he lived.
Martin family lawyer Benjamin Crump did not say Sunday whether they will sue Zimmerman, though they did sue and settle with the homeowners association of the condo complex where Zimmerman lived and was a neighborhood watch volunteer.
"Right now they're just trying to make sense of this," he said. "They're trying to deal with the grief of losing their son and then not having his killer held accountable."
Defense lawyer Mark O'Mara expressed confidence that his client would be able to fend off a civil action.
"If someone believes that it's appropriate to sue George Zimmerman, then we will seek and we will get immunity in a civil hearing," O'Mara said in a post-verdict press conference.
"We'll see just how many civil lawsuits will spawn from this fiasco."
To seek immunity, Zimmerman would have to ask for a a hearing under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. He chose not to pursue one before the criminal trial, but O'Mara had suggested he might go that route in the event of an acquittal.
TODAY's legal analyst Lisa Bloom talks to Lester Holt and Kate Snow about whether George Zimmerman could face a civil suit.
Coffey said that if Zimmerman is granted a hearing, he would have to testify. If he didn't convince the judge to grant him immunity, a civil suit could proceeds to trial, where he would likely have to testify again.
The burden of proof is different in criminal and civil cases, and there are well-known examples of defendants being acquitted of criminal charges but held liable for someone's death and ordered to pay damages in a civil proceeding ? including O.J. Simpson and actor Robert Blake.
Also, prosecutors could not compel Zimmerman to take the stand in the second-degree murder case, relying instead on other witnesses to highlight issues in statements he made to police.
In a civil case, it is "virtually inevitable" that Zimmerman would stake the stand, Coffey noted.
"And the best way to prove a witness is inconsistent and untruthful is you put them on the stand," he said.
A civil suit holds some risk for the Martin family, too, however. If Zimmerman were to win immunity in a "Stand Your Ground" hearing, they could be forced to pay his legal costs, Coffey said.
O'Mara said he will continue to seek sanctions against prosecutors for what he contends were violations in discovery procedures that require both sides to share evidence in a timely fashion.
"The state has been responsible for a lot of the costs that we've incurred to acquit George Zimmerman so we're going to have a hearing on that, as well,"O'Mara said.
Neither his client nor Martin's parents have spoken publicly since the verdict.
O'Mara said Zimmerman, who has been living in an undisclosed location, would be keeping a low profile for the immediate future, partly out of concern that someone angered by the acquittal might seek to harm him.
"I don't know where you go after 16 months of this," he said. "I think you go somewhere, relax and get your bearings back," he said.
George Zimmerman has sued NBC Universal for defamation. The company strongly denies the allegation.

9:35 a.m. EDT, July 13, 2013
SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - A Florida jury on Saturday resumed deliberating the fate of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, a case that has attracted wide attention and triggered debate in the U.S. public for more than a year.The six-woman jury began deliberations inside the Seminole County courthouse in this town in central Florida on Friday but adjourned late in the day after about 3-1/2 hours. They resumed work at about 9 a.m. EDT.
They are to decide whether Zimmerman, who claims he shot Martin in self-defense in February last year, is guilty of second-degree murder or the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Amnesty official in Russia plans to meet Snowden
MOSCOW (AP) ? Two prominent Russian human rights officials say they plan to meet on Friday with Edward Snowden, the leaker of U.S. National Security Agency secrets, after receiving an invitation calling them to Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport.
Snowden is believed to have been stuck in the airport's transit zone since arriving from Hong Kong on June 23, as he negotiates for asylum in another country.
Sergei Nikitin, head of Amnesty International's Russia office, told The Associated Press he will go to the meeting, but declined to give details. Tatiana Lokshina, deputy head of the Russian office of Human Rights Watch, was quoted by the news agency Interfax as saying she also would go.
On Facebook, Lokshina posted the text of an e-mail purportedly from Snowden that she received Thursday. The text says Snowden wants to make "a brief statement and discussion regarding the next steps forward in my situation."
It does not directly address the offers of asylum that Snowden has received from Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua, though it expresses gratitude for asylum offers and says "I hope to travel to each of them." It accuses the United States of "an unlawful campaign ... to deny my right to seek and enjoy this asylum."
Russian news reports said the invitation was also sent to local officials of Transparency International, an organization that tracks corruption in governments and industries, and the U.N. refugee agency. Those organizations could not immediately be reached for comment.
Genri Reznik, a prominent lawyer and head of the Moscow bar association, also said he was invited and would try to attend. He was quoted by Interfax as saying he expected Snowden called for the meeting in order to seek asylum in Russia.
Snowden made an earlier application for Russian asylum. But Russian President Vladimir Putin said asylum would be conditional on Snowden stopping leaking U.S. secrets; Snowden then withdrew his asylum bid, Russian officials said.
How much the human rights organizations could influence a Russian asylum bid or other aspects of Snowden's dilemma is unclear. Putin takes a dim view of non-governmental organizations involvement in political matters.
But an appeal by Snowden to internationally respected groups could boost his status and give Russia a pretext for reconsidering asylum.
Snowden has not been seen in public since arriving in Moscow from Hong Kong, where he had fled before his leaks about American Internet surveillance were made public. Russia has said it cannot extradite him because by remaining in the transit zone he is technically outside Russian territory.
Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia have said they would be willing to grant asylum to Snowden. But it is unclear if Snowden could fly from Moscow to any of those countries without passing through the airspace of the United States or allied countries.
There were no immediate indications of whether news media would have access to the proposed meeting. The invitation calls for the organization representatives to gather at one of the airport's terminals, then be escorted through security.
