I am so confounded by the verdict in this case. This was even more clearer than the Trayvon Martin one I thought it couldn't go any other way.

But then Mark Geragos in early February on CNN saw this coming when he said based on jury composition alone, the case "has hung jury written all over it".

Yes, there will be a re-trial, but who know what the outcome will be? The jury is still going to come out of that cesspool of Florida swamps.

Can the parents go after this man in civil court, or would they have to wait until after the re-trial? I want them to go after that computer software wealth that made him believe that kid's life wasn't worth anything. Anyone knows how this works?
