Monday night at 10 p.m ET on a special edition of HLN After Dark, Vinnie Politan is one-on-one with the Zimmerman prosecution team to try to find out what happened. HLN has been all over this case, and nothing is off-limits in this primetime interview.
How would Florida State Attorney Angela Corey describe George Zimmerman in one word?
"Murderer."
That's what an emotional Corey told HLN's Vinnie Politan when he sat down with her and prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda in Jacksonville Monday to discuss the obstacles they faced prosecuting the former neighborhood watch captain.
We were left with inconsistent witnesses in terms of what actually happened and [Zimmerman's] story, and what were trying to prove is that his story was false, said de la Rionda.
The lack of reliable eyewitness reports and lack of physical evidence made it impossible for the prosecutors to tell the jurors exactly what happened during the fight between Zimmerman and Martin.

The lynch mob is still at it.
Innocent!
Oh yeah, you couldn't, could you?
Swine!
Let’s hope they get hoisted by their own you know whats.
I believe that I would be emotional as well if I had just staked my career on winning a case and had botched it through arrogance, dishonesty and letting blind ambition overcome any sense of fairness at all.
Doesn’t this open her and her office up to the charge of libel (I say libel because I think saying such on TV is the same as it being printed in a newspaper).
Angela sure was never taught to lose with grace, was she?
She needs to be put on trial herself for the unlawful termination of one of her staff.
That is a trial I would like to see!!! She has dirty hands with this trial.
“That’s what an emotional Corey told HLN’s Vinnie Politan when he sat down with her and prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda in Jacksonville Monday to discuss the obstacles they faced prosecuting the former neighborhood watch captain. “
These idiots even had a complicit judge with them and they still flamed out.
Every last one of them should be fired and brought up on charges. Corey is insane and should never be allowed near a courtroom again.

Isn’t she violating some laws or code of ethics, as an attorney, by talking about Zimmerman as a “murderer”, when he was legally found not guilty?
I know it’s a stupid question, but, she and her team were not able to prove their case. Legally speaking, why is this not the end of things?
Wow.
If I got my butt kicked in front of all of America I would sit down and shut up.
The only reason to say this is to incite violence and this person should be arrested for such.
She should be sued for defamation, disbarred and charged with civil rights violations.
The case that never should have been brought to trial!
Would Corey be saying this about GZ if he were a woman?
No effing way.
Thanks for posting...Americans who find this behavior corrupt and unethical may call the Florida Bar at 1-866-352-0707 and ask what they plan to do about Corey’s dispicable and unprofessional actions.
>> “Murderer.”
The jury deliberated on that question and said “no”.
Is it now slander for Corey to keep saying that?
I would call that libelous slander.
When the police lied to Mr. Zimmerman and told him that there is video of the altercation his response was.....
“Thank God!”
There it is, right there.
Not guilty.
