Just a thought: Zimmerman’s lawyers said he contacted the prosecutor on his own. What if Zimmerman asked to be charged as being arrested and facing trial is better than running around with a bounty on his head from thousands of people who want to lynch him.
Both for his own protection and possibly the protection of his family he wanted to be arrested and face a jury.
Not a chance in hell. It would be a crime, abdication of fiduciary responsibility if a prosecutor prosecuted a defendant for exculpatory reasons at the request of the defendant.
Perhaps he didn’t think his attorneys at the time were acting in his best interests.
Plausible. I can’t begin to imagine what this guy is going through. He’s been absolutely destroyed without charges or conviction. Let’s get them filed and get this over with, makes sense
Poor B*stard should of ran. He’ll never get justice in America.
He may figure the only way his evidence of innocence can fairly presented is in a court of law. If I were him I’d rather have a court determine my innocence than to be walking around with a freakin bounty on my head with this limp in-Justice Dept turning a blind eye to the NBP’s ‘dead or alive’ solicitation to commit first-degree murder on me.
Yeah, that’s a great plan, since there aren’t ever any minorities that are racist towards white people in our crime free and totally safe jails in this country...

Maybe, but more likely the threats of riots and retaliations frightened the prosecutrix into charging him. Look for a reverse OJ jury to be formed; he'll be found guilty no matter what the evidence. If he is found not guilty, after all, cities will burn.
If he's convicted, what will WE burn?
Serious mistakes being made by Zimmerman. When you are facing charges like this you have “NO Advocates” except for your Attorneys. Not the police, not the prosecutor, not the media, and not even smiling conservative talk show host, and definitely not those reading your comments on your web site.
Talk To Nobody without your attorneys present. Too many people think the Miranda Rights are meant for the guilty. That is dead wrong.
Zimmerman should have watched this video
Don’t Talk to the Police. In praise ofs the Fifth Amendment Right to Not Be a Witness Against Yourself.

The Declaration of Independence talks of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Maybe the "and" should be "or"--pick one out of the three.
Like he’s going to be safe in any room, cell, bathroom or shower controlled by FL law enforcement? Really?
I am fond of the Jewish head cap/monk shaved head look he had in the video. He bashed his own head and shaved it for good measure. Right?
In the long run this could be the best thing to happen to him since there is a racist lynch mob out to get him.
