It was a strange development in a case that has seen more than its share: Chris Serino, the lead Sanford police investigator in the Trayvon Martin shooting, hired famed Casey Anthony defense attorney Jose Baez to represent him at his upcoming deposition in the case.
It's unclear what prompted Serino to hire a private attorney — eschewing available representation by the city of Sanford, his employer. But one issue likely to come up is his double-talk on whether there was enough evidence to support George Zimmerman's arrest as controversy surrounding the case spiraled out of control last spring.
Serino wrote in a sworn affidavit that there was probable cause to arrest Zimmerman. But he later told the Federal Bureau of Investigation he was pressured to author that document and didn't believe the evidence was sufficient for the manslaughter charge he recommended.
................
And Serino isn't the only Sanford officer whose testimony could prove troublesome for prosecutors in the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman: High-ranking fellow officers largely agreed in March that there was not sufficient evidence to arrest Zimmerman.
Zimmerman's legal team has since listed several of them, including former Sanford police Chief Bill Lee Jr. and Serino's supervisors, as witnesses the defense plans to call at trial.
.............
On March 12, Lee said at a press conference that his agency could not arrest Zimmerman because investigators had failed to establish probable cause.
Four days later, Lee and several officers, including Serino, went over details of their investigation in an exclusive interview with the Sentinel, and again insisted they didn't have enough evidence to disprove Zimmerman's self-defense claim.
"We did not have enough for an arrest warrant," Serino said at that time.

People may recall that Zimmerman was described in initial news stories as a "white hispanic".
The real problem here is that none of us can rely upon our various governments to conduct a factual and reasonable investigation, indictment, trial or sentencing once the race card is played; which in this case, was immediately.

Even the cops now don’t want to talk to themselves....

I believe he started out white and “evolved”.
It is not uncommon for a witness under subpoena to give testimony in a criminal case or before a grand jury to hire counsel for advice, to avoid any potential land mines. The idea is to avoid any potential charges, not necessarily that they anticipate them.

White Hispanic
Angela Corey likely committed perjury and withheld exculpatory evidence that he can testify to.
To save Corey, the cop must be discredited.
The tactic will be multiple separate sworn testimonies compared for the accidental contradiction, and bingo, cop prosecuted for perjury and evidence denied to Zimmerman's defense.
This is known as a process crime which occurs during the investigation of an act that is declared to be not a crime by that investigation.
The good guys and the cop go to prison and the criminal is lauded as a hero by the judge, prosecutor, media, and Marxist DemoRats.
The cop's lawyer will prevent this prosecutorial trick.
See my tagline.
This whole thing was a farce from beginning to end.
A teen drug dealer and user killed when he attacked a man for watching him.
There was no evidence against Zimmerman, but Jesse Jackass and Al Sharptongue got involved/
They stirred the natives and frightened the Police Department into making charges when there weren’t any. Add to that, a States Attorney looking to nifong the guy and it was off to the races.
When this trial is over and Zimmerman found not guilty , I hope we see law suits agains Jesse and Al who will of course never pay, the attorney general, and the Chief of Police.
The only real question is: how many minutes will it take for the riots to start when he is aquitted...
Since Baez is a criminal defense attorney...Serino and some Sanford cops may be seeing perjury and civil rights charges down the line
Note that it was black Sanford police officers who started pushing for a prosecution of Zimmerman....as they met w some of the Black KKK Racist lawyers working with, and on behalf, of the Martin family.
With the Martin’s not allowing Trayvon’s cell phone to be searched and accessed....and cops now lawyering up....its time for that Jack Booted Nazi Angela Corey to drop charges....and put pressure on Governor Scott and AG Bondi to get this case dropped. They better make a choice quick on whether they want to continue to follow the Black Ku Klux Klan Racists...or follow the law
Zimmerman is going to rock our federal, state, and local governemnts with civil rights $$$ after this is all over....looks like my tax bills are going up
Enough time to move the safety to "off".
Remember, it’s Florida. They killed Terry Schivo. They could find an innocent man guilty.
The term “Hispanic” refers to a linguistic group. It means Spanish speaking. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with race.
Whaat?????!!!!
Next, I suppose you'll be telling me that White South Africans who have immigrated to the US, America are not African-Americans.
