I was listening to a talk radio host who used to be a policeman today. He said that he’s learned that zimmerman’s father is/was a judge. That possibly explains why the initial detective’s recommendation to charge for manslaughter got stopped.
A Democratic judge interrupts the process of justice for his kid? It all needs to go into the mix of the investigation.
Sure. I am certain strings were pulled in this case as you assert. I can see the conversation now:
DETECTIVE: “Hey, this guy we took into custody for the shooting, his name is Zimmerman. He says his dad is a former magistrate.”
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: “Really? Zimmerman, you say?”
DETECTIVE: “Yeah.”
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: (Speaking to others) “Hey. Anyone here know this Zimmerman guy or his dad?”
ASSISTANT DA 1: “No.”
ASSISTANT DA 2: “Umm...no.”
ASSISTANT DA 3: “Who?”
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: “Well, we gotta find out who this guy is. You, do a Google search on him. YOU, find out if he is important. We have to find out if this Zimmerman guy is one of ours...”
ASSISTANT DA 2: “What do we do if he is “one of ours”?”
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: “What, is this day one of your new job, or what? If he is “one of ours”, we can’t risk having him go down for this. Get the investigators on the case to scrub their story and make it more palatable so it won’t look like we are letting one of our buddies off. Talk to the EMTs, get their medical reports, and have them re-written.”
ASSISTANT DA 3: “Ummm, sir...the people there are saying guy is a no-count SOB who is reputed to be a rent-a-cop wannabe, pushing his agenda all over the condo association there...they say he shows up at meetings with a rottweiler and a gun! And there are witnesses all over...”
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: “DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF AROUND HERE? I DON’T WANT ANY CHARGES FILED AGAINST THIS ZIMBERLAND GUY!”
ASSISTANT DA 1: “Sir, his name is ‘Zimmerman’, not ‘Zimberland’ and his dad is a famous magistrate up in Fairfax, Virginia. He is very well connected with the DC crowd.”
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: “See? What did I tell you. Come on, folks. The night is getting long. Get this thing scrubbed so we can release this guy.”
