The Life Files Reports:

Thanks in part to buzz that begun online the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the FBI are now stepping in to investigate the killing of Orlando teenager Treyvon Martin by a neighborhood watch man George Zimmerman who has not been arrested or charged.  The local Police Chief Bill Lee has already said his team did a thorough investigation and Zimmerman acted in self defense.  Here’s a snippet of the statement from the DOJ:

“The department will conduct a thorough and independent review of all of the evidence and take appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigation.  The department also is providing assistance to and cooperating with the state officials in their investigation into the incident. With all federal civil rights crimes, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person acted intentionally and with the specific intent to do something which the law forbids – the highest level of intent in criminal law.  Negligence, recklessness, mistakes and accidents are not prosecutable under the federal criminal civil rights laws.”
