The jury acquitted Zimmerman. That jury’s acquittal can never be overturned, reversed or vacated. As far as the numerous posts regarding the Department of Justice reversing the charges, one should become familiar with the “Petite Policy” which refers to (as defined by USLegal) a housekeeping provision of the US Justice Department that following a state prosecution there should be no federal prosecution for the same transaction in the absence of compelling federal interests. It is merely an internal guideline for exercise of prosecutorial discretion, and therefore not subject to judicial review. Look at what was presented to the jury by the Prosecution. That was the information provided to the jury to decide a verdict. The DOJ will not ask the same questions done on the State level.
