This former Prosecutor agrees with Rick.
Santorum 2012
Nice to know you were there and have all the facts.
Santorum should keep his mouth shut.
Yeah, here’s Santorum in action, a real leader he is...

I happen to agree with you, but I’m curious about something, and maybe as a former prosecutor you can shed some light on this question.
What are the elements of a successful self-defense claim? I’m sure you dealt with many situations where a party claimed self-defense, was there some criteria you and your office would utilize in making a decision as to whether to prosecute, or was it more of a judgment call?
Until all the facts are out, I think its premature to make statements like this. Zimmerman hasn’t been arrested so far for a reason. It also rubs me the wrong way how these politicians (who don’t have all the facts either) are all but calling for his head.
He just lost my vote.
I bet Mike Nifong does too. He's also a "former prosecutor." I'd wait for the facts, myself.
This citizen no longer has any faith in either you, your profession or Santorum who are willing to condemn a person solely on what you have read in the MSM........
At the VERY LEAST, you and Santorum could have deferred judgment until a complete and thorough investigation has been conducted........Instead, Santorum has succumbed to race pandering.
Sorry Rick, you're now toast in my book and I won't shed a tear when you get your butt kicked by an equally offensive Romney........
Just so we know, of the 10 kills and 46 injured in Chicago last weeked, What color were they and the color of their shooters?
I read a few articles and they mostly were the same. And then I read one where there was blood/wound on Zimmerman’s head and his back had grass on it - like he was wrestled to the ground.
So it was different that the other articles where they definitely were bias and how he had candy in his hands and close to his father’s fiances home.
What the officers saw at the scene and Zimmerman’s testimony, they didn’t arrest him. The media should give all the facts and leave out the bias to stir the pot. I doubt Santorum really knows went down but spoke out anyway just to be relevant.
So tell us, how did the wounds to the back of the shooter’s head occur? Since you know what happened.
Was the voice on the 911 call Trayvon’s or Zimmerman’s? Since you were there.
Did you hear Newt's comments?
I fixed it for you; you're welcome.
It is nice to know you can declare guilt without all the facts and in spite of reports Zimmerman has a wound in the back of his head and Martin was on top of Zimmerman; beating him.
So much for innocent until proven guilty. Maybe, just maybe the police and DA happen to know a little bit more than we do (or maybe they don't know enough) and that's why they haven't arrested Zimmerman.
Did you ever prosecute people based on biased news reports? If so then it is good to know you are a FORMER prosecutor.
supposedly the hoodie kid broke Zimmermans nose, first.
This civilian is glad you're "former."
