The U.S. Justice Department is unlikely to bring civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, who shot and killed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012, despite allegations that that the killing was racially motivated. The investigation was opened two years ago, after the incident triggered protests across the country.

The Justice Departments civil rights division investigated Zimmerman, but officials now say that they do not have enough evidence to bring federal charges against him, the Washington Post reported. Martins family attorney reportedly said that they have not heard a final decision from U.S. officials on the case while a spokesperson for the Department reportedly said that the investigation is active and ongoing.

Zimmermanwasacquittedof a second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in a state trial in Florida, despite several demands to Attorney General Eric H. Holder that a federalcivil rights caseshould be opened against him.

I was watching the whole case pretty closely for two years, and they didnt do anything except take those 40 statements, Mark OMara, Zimmermans attorney said,accordingto the Washington Post, adding that the statements suggested that George acted in very non-racist ways. He took a black girl to the prom. His best buddy was a black guy. He mentored two black kids. He sought justice for a black homeless man beaten up by a white cops son.

To those who have seen civil rights investigations and civil rights violations, OMara added, It looked as though the Department of Justice was just placating pressure that existed by suggesting there was an ongoing investigation.

Martin was unarmed whenZimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, shot and killed him. Prosecutors in a civil rights case would not only have to prove that Zimmerman followedMartinbecause of his race, but would also have to prove that his shooting of Martin was racially motivated.

These are very difficult cases to make, a law enforcement official who knew about the case told the Washington Post, adding: There is a high burden. We have to prove that a person was doing this with the intent of depriving someone of his civil rights.

George Zimmerman May Not Face Civil Rights Charges In Trayvon Martin's Death Case

Now his brother has proposed that he market a range of home-security goods, aimed at women with names such as the Z Bar, the Z Rock and The Z Beam.

One is to secure sliding doors, he told GQ magazine. One is to put in the front door. The light is to carry and is designed by George. It has a little alarmyou know, Help me, help me!

But his ultimate goal was turn George into a reality-TV star, the magazine wrote.

"I learn a lot from watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians, he said, envisioning a show in which his brother would turn up as a surprise guest, Candid Camera-style.

George Zimmerman has been involved in a series of brushes with the law since his acquittal, including his arrest for allegedly threatening a girlfriend, and is reported to be heavily in debt, owing more than $2.5 million in legal fees.

Family members have gone into hiding because of death threats and are unable to find work, they said.

Ronald Ritchie Is Worse Than George Zimmerman - Video

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla., Sept. 30 (UPI) -- In the two years since George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, life has been turned upside down for his family.

Speaking to GQ, members of the Zimmerman family spoke about life after "the incident" -- the night Robert Zimmerman Jr. said his brother became the "Wreck-It Ralph of America."

"I learn a lot from watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Robert Zimmerman said, of being thrust into the role of family crisis manager. "Like, use the [expletive] you've got."

He said the family hoped once George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder in July 2013, the family could find a way to flip their newfound notoriety into riches, like a home-security company called Z Security Products with George as the spokesman.

"They all start with Z," Robert said of their many business ideas.

"There's the Z Bar, the Z Rock, and the Z Beam. They're all targeted to women. One is to secure sliding doors. One is to put in the front door. The light is to carry and is designed by George. It has a little alarm -- you know, Help me, help me!"

He had plans for reality television: John Walsh did it with America's Most Wanted after his son was abducted and killed, as did the aforementioned Kardashians, whose fame was launched by Kim's leaked sex tape.

But no reality gig would come without rehabbing George Zimmerman's image: An appearance on Hannity, meant to start the process, fell apart on logistics. Fox wanted him to fly on February 26 -- the second anniversary of the shooting.

"It is like 9/11 for my family! We can't travel together that day -- it's like having the whole royal family travel together!" Robert Zimmerman said he told Fox.

Instead, he suggested the network pay for a security detail and rooms in a four-star hotel for the brothers to drive up from central Florida, a suggestion Fox refused.

George Zimmerman's brother wanted to turn him into a reality television star.

In a 5,000-word GQ profile of the Zimmerman family, Robert Zimmerman describes his attempts to rebrand the 30-year-old former Sanford neighborhood watchman after he was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case sparked an international debate about race. Martin was black and unarmed. Zimmerman is described as mixed-race Hispanic.

"I learn a lot from watching 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,'" Robert Zimmerman told the magazine. "Like, use the s--- you've got."

The show, a mix between the "Kardashians," "America's Most Wanted" and "Candid Camera," would have featured George punking, say, unsuspecting self-defense instructors.

Another idea Robert had for rebranding the family: launching a signature line of home-security company products aimed at women.

"They all start with Z," Zimmerman said. "There's the Z Bar, the Z Rock, and the Z Beam. They're all targeted to women. One is to secure sliding doors. One is to put in the front door. The light is to carry and is designed by George. It has a little alarm you know, 'Help me, help me!'"

According to GQ, the Zimmerman family has been living in fear since George was identified in the Feb. 26, 2012, shooting:

''The family formalized new security protocols. They watched the movie "Argo" to learn how to live like CIA. Code names for everyone. No mail delivered to the house. No visitors. No talking to the few neighbors they had. No long phone conversations keep it short and vague to outwit surveillance. Never discuss your whereabouts via phone or text. Keep a weapon close by at all times. Robert slept with his gun. Still does.

And in case someone or multiple someones decided to mount an attack on the house, the Zimmermans pre-packed their own "go-bags" filled with everything they would need to flee in a rush, as well as what they called "footballs" like the one President Obama has with the nuclear codes that contained laptops, cell phones, and other essential electronics.
