Oh my God, no wonder Allen Dershowitz is calling it a disgrace. This looks like something a 3rd grader would put together. It even makes a mistake as to what the Dispatcher told Zimmerman when he said he was following him. Remember: the Dispatcher said "You don't have to do that". Well in this affidavit, the State claims the Dispatcher said something else DESPITE IT BEING ON TAPE!

The term “stand your ground” is being used to refer to the entire Florida law dealing with self-defense, after having been amended to deal with the duty to retreat.

But in this case, based on what Zimmerman is claiming as his defense, the relevant law is the same in all states. The particular “stand your ground” concept has no application to this case, based on what Zimmerman is saying happened.

I’m sure this prosecutor was in fear for her own life if she didn’t put something together. But if she’s going to insist on things that are contradicted by the tapes, isn’t that essentially perjury?

But hey, Zimmerman doesn’t matter to these people. To them, he’s just another subhuman who can be used to advance the Master Class.

Zimmerman has become an Enemy of the Obama State.

I never imagined a White Hispanic would be in that position.

That is much worse than I thought. There is NOTHING in there that would justify "probable cause" for a murder charge. Even if you believe all the bullshit like that Zimmerman "profiled" Martin, the most they have in that affidavit is negligent homicide. The affidavit recites no evidence to support the "facts" and is filled with conclusions based on opinions.

A third year law student should be able to shoot down this indictment. Any judge who doesn't dismiss this charge would have to be nothing more than a political hack.

What amazes me is that apparently competent people actually signed their names to this piece of crap. If this doesn't get tossed at the preliminary hearing, then I have lost all faith in the judicial system.

The Second Degree Murder Charge will insure that Mr. Zimmerman will never be able to post Bail.

If he was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter (still a stretch IMHO), the Bail amount would probably be something that his Family could afford to pay. Hell, if I had the extra money, I'd pay it.

The more serious charge was applied to insure that Mr. Zimmerman will remain incarcerated until the Kangaroo Court “Trial” is over.

Even if he is innocent, he must pay with his loss of Freedom. The Street Justice coming from the Left demands no less. Innocent until proven guilty? Yeah, right...

[[“he falsely assumed was going to commit a crime]]

‘FALSELY’ means that he intentionally intended to decieve- George may have been mistaken, however, being mistaken, and intending to decieve are two wholly different things- it’s NOT a crime to mistakenly assume someoen may be up to no good- and the law has NO business arresting george because he might have been mistaken abotu someone

[[nor did anything Zimmerman say indicate he assumed a crime was going to be committed.]]

to be fair, he did tell the dispatcher trayvon ‘looked suspicious’ or ‘acted suspiciously’ or somethign to that effect- however, again, it is NOT a crime to follow someone who is acting suspiciously even if it is your intention to try to stop someone from doign somethign illegal- the blakc comuinity has lost sight of htis basic fact, and have convicted george simply bbecause george had the temerity to follow someone who looked and acted suspiciously in a neighborhood that had been known to have crime

[[“Martin attempted to run home but was followed by zimmerman”.]]

That is complete bull shit, and I hope zimmerman’s lawyer sues whoever made that false accusation, although even if zimmerman does win lawsuits agaisnt false arrest, it will all be taken from him when the martins sue him now that he has beren charged-

Every charge brought against Zimmerman was false- especially the secodn degree charges- which indicated zimmerman had a ‘depraved mind’ and ‘callous indifference toward the life of another’. None of the conditions necessary for a charge of second degree murder were met by zimmerman nor the actiosn in the case- Zimmerman has been falsely imprisoned- last I knew it was agaisnt hte law to falsely imprison someone

I’m curious as to why no one has made mention of the fact? that it appears after hearing portions of the 911 call, that the dispatcher asked Zimmerman - “which way is he running” - well that is basically the same as the dispatcher IMO telling/asking Zimmerman to “follow” and tell me where/which direction the “suspicious” person is heading - shortly after that question was put to Zimmerman you can hear an out of breath/heavy panting Zimmerman (because he ran? to “follow” so as to find out which direction the kid was going so he could reply to dispatchers question?) dispatcher hears him out of breath and asks if he following... yes...”we don’t need you to...” “OK” says Zim and he was probably glad he could finally stop ... but he told dispatcher he “lost him and had no idea where he was now”. My Conjecture - kid circled around thru the walkways and snuck up on Zimmer... catching him unawares as he headed back to his vehicle...so now we have a young, athletically fit teen confronting older out of shape and still trying to catch his breath male... just my take on things

[[The testimony of the mother as to the voice crying for help will be contradicted by Zimmerman’s family and friends]]

It will also contradict hte father’s testimony that the voice was definately not hisw son’s voice

[[A prosecutor’s job is not to win a conviction at all costs, but rather to *uncover the truth*

Therefore, why would the prosecution even *attempt* to discredit an eyewitness?]]

Why would the prosecutor pray with hte martins, and why would the prosecutor declare that ‘justice for trayvon’ is what is being sought? Doesn’t sound like her objective is to ‘find hte truth’

To the extent that it will win his case, period.
