I disagree - not retire !..TERMINATE !
Terminate "with cause" , for prosecutorial misconduct , offical misconduct ,failure to disclose information during 'discovery',
malfeasance of office, untimely release of information during discovery, obstructing justice , violation of Zimmerman civil rights to a fair trial, etc.
Penalty : Florida disbarment , and altogether take way her retirement, as well as de la Rond , that was just increased .
Immoral and illegal activity should not be rewarded !
Any trial depends on fairness ~ dont forget that the statue " Justice" is blindfolded .
There is so much pressure on this political "Show Trial" from the Governors office on down, that prosecution beleives they will win "at any cost".
Then .. let it cost them !!
Let the civil lawsuits begin ..(regardless how the criminal charges are resolved ) !!
I agree. But also judge Nelson should be terminated for her reversible errors during discovery and her allowing the prosecution to ask who was more likely to: be afraid? to start a fight? to profile? to follow? et al... without the defense given the opportunity to enter into the trial the evidence that pertains to that line of argument. The state attorney - clearly tried to hide evidence as she engineered this railroading, the judge rode the caboose.
There is nothing more dangerous to life, liberty and property than an unconstrained government, the kind that can cheat and lie in court and stir up mobs and riots on the streets.
