Yesterday I posted about how Alan Dershowitz alleged that Zimmerman prosecutor Angela Corey called up Harvard Law School complaining about Dershowitz and treatening to sue for libel based on Dershowitz’s criticisms of her handling of the case.
The whole incident seemed strange, and reflected conduct that should be off limits for any prosecutor and certainly for a senior prosecutor on a high profile case.
It appears, however, that the Dershowitz incident was no isolated incident. According to Ron Littlepage, a columnist for the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union, Corey has done this several times before:

The more common term?
Bully.
Corey should be removed from this case, then dis-barred
like Mike Nifong. She has no business practicing law.
Narcissist...............
If Obama had a sister, she would act like this.
Looks like this woman is just Janet Reno without the shakes.
“I cannot imagine a worse choice for a prosecutor to serve in the Sanford case. There is nothing in Angela Corey’s background that suits her for the task, and she cannot command the respect of people who care about justice.”
She has a history of denying justice to defendants. Is that what the governor intended when he appointed her???
‘She has a history of denying justice to defendants. Is that what the governor intended when he appointed her???’
Maybe other prosecutors with integrity and self respect declined to take the case.
Sounds like it’s time to yank her law license.
The national spotlight can humble the most egomaniacal.

Thin-skinned. Since she’s already shown was a dip$hit she is, hopefully she’ll make an ever bigger ass of herself at the trial.
I do believe that could be the case as from early on the information available was favorable to Mr Zimmerman’s defense.
I know I was quite amazed when charges I did not expect at all were made against Mr. Zimmerman, and trial was scheduled. My thoughts were it was political, or that it was another grandstanding Prosecutor similar to another well known case in recent past.
I find it extremely hard to believe this woman is a REPUBLICAN
I thought it suspicious when they kept repeating her party affiliation
I think she is a closet Democrat plant- and was given the mission to undermine this case to CAUSE race riots
Possibilities:
1. Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, is an idiot and had no idea who he was appointing.
2. Gov. Scott knows exactly what he’s doing, recognizes that Corey is a liberal loon who’s out of control in the prosecutor’s office, and might someday even embarrass him or come after him personally, knows that she would presume Zimmerman guilty just like most of the wilder liberals have, and gave her this extremely high profile case with the idea that it would give her enough rope to, well, hang herself, a process that appears to already be well underway.
Until shown otherwise, I’m going with #2.
Corey is a sort of archetype of everything that is wrong with the US justice system. She is a bullying thug who thinks she *is* the law rather than a temporary servant of it.
In the worst cases I’ve read about, this attitude seems to stretch more or less uniformly from the top all the way down to the cops on the beat.
Corey is maybe ab ‘nth more sophisticated than the sort of cops who fabricate probably cause in order to arrest people who have the temerity to film an arrest/beating using a mobile phone cam’s, but not much.
This case appears to be her way of redeeming herself in the black community to get their votes in her upcoming election.
And she does it not by making amends and fixing things with her past prosecutorial victims, but by doubling down and showing the black community that her bullying is not personal, that she can deny justice to whites, blacks, hispanics, women, children, men with equal impunity abnd disregard for the mitigating facts.
One of the commenters on the linked article noted that Corey had withheld evidence from the judge. That alone is a serious ethics violation. To the lawyers on this thread, is such sufficient grounds for disbarment?
