“Nothing will happen until after the election. Zimmerman doesn’t want it to, because he doesn’t want Obama and Holder and race hustlers out there poisoning the public mind against him.”

Except if...

Zimmerman decides to take one for the team. Though he supposedly be a registered Dem, perhaps he’s irked enough, and wants to see all those in the Trayvon camp take a beating, including O.
There’s no way this trial benefits racist Obama.

The first phase of the process will be a trial just before the judge on the self-defense.

Zimmerman’s counsel will want to ensure that he has as fair a trial as possible and will not want to put the judge in the position of having to make his ruling in the middle of an intensely-charged political atmosphere.

Isn't there a character in Darkness at Noon who is persuaded that confessing to crimes he didn't commit would be a service to the Party? Is Zimmerman sufficiently devoted to the Democrat Party to "take one for the team" if it will help Obama?

Of course it benefits BHO - his spinmeisters are the best and besides
..it’s yet again a major distraction - to divert public attention from the damage he continues to wreak upon our country.
