Iff CNN is saying it, the jig must be up.

CNN has figured out that Angela Corey might offer another avenue to attack Gov Rick Scott.

All I have to say is ‘Mike Nifong’.

—Iff CNN is saying it, the jig must be up.—

Shoulda been up about a month ago, when I finally jumped off the fence to Zimmerman’s side. And it only took that long because I was being extra cautious.

Even Martin’s friend that was on the phone with him supports Zimmerman’s version.

If the facts disclose that the court was intentionally misled by the way information was presented to it, that is a cause for grave concern and reconsideration.

This judge just rubber-stamped the indictment. I doubt he even read it. A grand jury would have tossed it.

However, offering a bare-bones affidavit is relatively common and so long as the language is truthful, done in good faith and doesn't intentionally mislead the court, then the prosecutor is not obligated to provide evidence that might be exculpatory to a defendant in an affidavit.

The same privilege extends to a witness like Shelly Zimmerman. But when she does it they charge her with perjury.

That said, the affidavit Corey filed in the Zimmerman case is about as minimal as I've seen in more than 30 years of practice as a criminal defense attorney.

She had no evidence than and has none now. All her office is doing now is trying to somehow morph the charge of perjury against SZ into a guilty plea from GZ.

In before the Trayvon trolls!

Did politics drive prosecution in Trayvon Martin case?

Yes. Politics is the only motivation in this case.

[USMCPOP]

“Did politics drive prosecution ...?”

Politics? Maybe it was just “Feelings, Oh Oh Oh Feelings ...”

I hope everyone actually reads the article. NeJame first gives Corey a smidgen of back-handed support by saying that Florida prosecutors actually don’t have any obligation to tell the whole truth in charge affadavits. The rest is a shin-kicking smack-down. Does the presense of this on CNN’s website signal some sort of retreat on the Z case, or is any chance to attack a Republican just irresistable?

[bgill]

Politics? Like, uh, duuuuuh!

"The Florida Times-Union, identified a number of people who Corey lambasted when they questioned her tactics or motives. They include Sandy D'Alemberte, former president of Florida State University and the American Bar Association; David Utter from the Southern Poverty Law Center; Jeff Goldhagen, a professor and division chief of pediatrics at Shands Hospital; and the writer, Littlepage himself. Does her behavior suggest a person who listens to no one other than those who agree with her? Does her criticism of her critics bespeak one who has an agenda that may be greater than the public may see and hear at a news conference? Corey was appointed by Gov. Rick Scott to prosecute the case"

Gov. Scott proving to the public once again he's either incompetent or an idiot.
