Trayvon Martin's character would be illuminated in a way never allowed for in the criminal trial and in a way that his parents would probably be very unhappy about.

It's very unlikely there will be a civil trial anyway. http://www.buzzfeed.com/evanmcsan/ci...ttle-chance-of

Unless politically motivated like the ill-advised criminal charges were, it's very unlikely there will be federal charges too. There's nothing there to grab onto.
