know when it's race based that the federal government does have jurisdiction, i think that it certainly is a possibility. and although the state did not use race as an element in this case, remember the state was precluded from calling it racial profiling. they did call it profiling, that george zimmerman profiled trayvon martin as a criminal. i don't think it's such a leap to argue, yes, he profiled him as a criminal because he was african-american because other african-americans in his view were the ones getting away, were the ones, you know -- criminals, the ones that were criminals in his community. so i don't think it's a stretch when people are arguing that it's an impossibility for the justice department to bring case here. >> linda, after the verdict the prosecutor said that this case was not about race. what do you think is the likelihood of the justice department actually filing these charges?
