The reality is we most likely will never know what happened that night. But we do know that if Zimmerman had never pursued Martin, this tragedy would not have occcurred. To call a junior in high school a “savage” is gut wrenching. This could have been my kid who walks to the store quite often. BTW, I guess you don’t hold the two lead investigators in high esteem either as they asked the local D.A. for an arrest warrent. They stated to the D.A. that they DID NOT BELIEVE Zimmerman’s story. It was the local D.A. that felt “Stand you Ground” law would make a conviction difficult.
Zimmerman passed a “voice stress test” given by police the night of the shooting which probably contributed to his release. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/06/tagblogsfindlawcom2012-blotter-idUS214913966420120406
Keep an open mind.
See if you can find anyone except for Team Crump claiming the investigators asked for an arrest. Good luck.
The following is sourced, almost 3 weeks after investigating:
Investigator Chris Serino of Sanford police said Friday the agency has worked closely with prosecutors, and have not arrested Zimmerman because prosecutors have consistently told them they do not have enough evidence to win a manslaughter conviction.
That’s because Zimmerman says he was defending himself, something he’s allowed to do under Florida law.
The best account of what happened came from Zimmerman, Serino said. Other witnesses who saw or heard parts of what happened corroborate his version of events, the investigator said.
