This is what happens when you displease the State.
1. When the public mood was being fed by the MSM so that Zimmerman was being seen as a vile racist killer, the prosecution didn’t have a problem with it.
2. Now that the facts are leaking out, and Zimmerman is seen as someone who didn’t just shoot a Black man for the thrill of it, and may have in fact had good reason, the prosecutor is suddenly suffering from a severe case of the vapors.
3. The MSM might be forgiven for jumping the gun here, because it’s my take the Justice Department was the driving force behind these charges, and whatever the prosecution asks for, they’re likely to get in this atmosphere. The prosecution has spoken. It’s a fate accompli.
