"I’m starting to think that’s why he was charged with 2nd degree murder, rather than manslaughter or some such."

Based on the documents that Dershowitz was talking about, I'm starting to think that the reason the special prosecutor charged Zimmerman is because she's not very smart and is not a very good lawyer. She's probably not used to prosecuting defendants with an IQ above room temperature or sparring with good lawyers. If somebody told her to do this, they didn't think it through.

I agree with you that the special prosecutor is not all that sharp. She probably thinks that her pathetic affidavit actually is sufficient to establish probable cause. She also is corrupted by her own political ambitions.

Her press conference was very telling. She seemed energized by the spotlight, downright giddy. Look at me! seemed to be the whole message.

As an attorney in practice for 36 years, I've seen the type.
