Perhaps Zimmerman has become such a hot potato she doesn’t want it on her plate any more, and jumping the shark like this is her only means of escape.
I don't think so.
This IS the way she is. This IS how she runs her cases.
This IS why they picked HER to handle the case.
Not that they thought she could win. That was never the issue. The issue was to focus the attention of the public away from Trayvon. They needed a real 'clown', and they found one.
