there is the part that you do not understand. Stand your ground would prevent anybody from suing him. That's the purpose of stand your ground. To protect the defender if he was justified.

Not saying the Martin family would prevail but chances are the civil suit would be forthcoming if a not guilty criminal case happens.
again, if Zimmerman is found to have been justified nobody can sue him. Stand Your Ground.

Sorry for the pun.
one more time, if justified in shooting Martin Zimmerman is protected from lawsuits thanks to stand your ground.

I would be almost willing to bet that, despite the lawsuit protection in stand-your-ground, some inventive plaintiffs' lawyer will find a basis to sue Zimmerman (e.g., federal civil rights violation). Will the plaintiffs win? I doubt it, based on the information currently available.

Don't know if they can sue or not...but remember OJ was acquitted of double murder and lost the following civil suit. So being acquitted does not necessarily bode well for winning civil suit too.

the Justice Department are starting to believe it is racist will be investigating Zimmerman for civil rights violations. Based on their actions in the past I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they manage to dream some up. It seems to be their policy only go after white folk. I hope this is not true.
