Of course, there was no proof who killed them. Here we all know who the killer was! Zimmerman!
As strange as it may sound, killing someone is not necessarily a crime and not necessarily grounds for a successful civil suit. Just because you kill someone it's not necessarily the fact that you took away his civil rights.

The OJ case was a bit different. I think that most reasonable people feel that the evidence against OJ was overwhelming and that the jury was biased. OJ could not be claiming self defense or any other type of justified homicide. If OJ had admitted killing his victims, it would have been a case of first degree murder.
