great bodily injury was going to be inflicted on him? was he in fear that he was about to get beaten up? and if the answer to that question is yes, or even maybe, then that's a not guilty verdict. >> so many of these cases, the civil case comes next. we know that trayvon martin's family could sue. in florida, you pointed out that could become very tricky. >> under florida's controversial stand your ground law, zimmerman can now seek immunity, try to prevent them from even suing him in a civil court. and if he wins that immunity, he could even get attorney's fees from them. so there are definitely some risks here involved in even suing george zimmerman in florida. >> our chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. dan with us every step of the way. thanks to you. one more question on this case tonight, will the justice department now bring a civil rights case after this not guilty verdict? naacp lost a petition tonight. hundreds of thousands of signatures already. let's bring in our justice corespondent, pierre thomas. you made the point that the court of public opinion, many

who have real concerns, real unanswered questions. >> well, many in the african-american community have been concerned about this case from the very beginning. one of the things they point out is that trayvon martin was walking down the street between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. at night. not at 2:00 a.m. not in the wee hours. they want to know why george zimmerman pointed him out as a potential threat, as a criminal. and they believe that is a reason why trayvon martin is dead today. >> i know the justice department issued a statement. the ball will be high, will it not, for a civil rights case? >> the justice department has very narrow jurisdiction in terms of bringing such a case. they have to prove that racial discrimination and racism played a role in all the acts leading up to the death of trayvon martin. that's a high bar. >> thanks to you for our coverage of the george zimmerman verdict for this evening. tomorrow morning on "good morning america," we hear from the prosecutors in the case. it's a "gma" exclusive. that's tomorrow morning. and now to another headline
