@imtellin This man should be able to sue EVERYONE who was in the least involved in this miscarriage of justice!!! The police, DCF, Attorneys, EVERY ONE OF THEM... He should be able to take EVERYTHING they OWN!!! They ruined his life, I say turnabout is fair play!!!!!!

I know of someone else this is happening to! Charges were dropped here in Jax, but our wonderful state's attorney convinced a city downstate to try and charge again on the same bogus charges. Meanwhile, this poor guy has been sitting in jail for almost a year. Apparently this happens more often than we know.

well,,, i'ld say his right to a speedy trial was denied,, therefor,, he has multiple grounds to sue the J.s.o. & the city as well !!! federal civil rights & guarantees were overlooked & someone has to pay for these violations... and shame on the arresting officers for not being more diligent,, & not asking why they weren't being summoned to court ??? 6 frickin years ??? you're kidding me right ???? at a million per year,, that comes out to roughly 6 million dollars,,, plus pain & suffering & punitive damages of say roughly 14 million,,, for a nice tidy sum of 20 million !!! there goes the budget !!!

This is the problem I have with law enforcement these days. It doesn't seem to matter if you did it or not, if they can pin it on you, "case closed"... That's NOT justice!! You have a guy like Zimmerman who tries to help out and make a difference in the community, and they put him in jail. This makes the average citizen like me reluctant to report ANYTHING to the police. Let them do their OWN job. I had to do mine for all those years. We at the very least deserve to have honesty in law enforcement.
