Anyone with any common sense understands that this situation should never have made it to trial in the first place. The evidence clearly supported Mr. Zimmermans account of the events which indicated that he acted in self-defense. So all of the fussing that is taking place demonstrates mostly that the people still hammering on this lack common sense or are manipulating the situation for political gain.

This case was never intended to go to trial. Corey was sure that Zimmerman could not afford competent counsel, (that’s the reason for screwing up his legal defense fund and charging his wife with perjury).

She expected that without the money needed for a proper defense that Zimmerman would take a plea bargain, any plea bargain, so that they did not have to go to court.

Freepers and other like minded conservatives ponied up the money to allow him to get a good attorney, (in this case a pair of excellent attorneys). That forced them to go to trial and then causing Corey to play “hide the ball” with discovery hoping to make it impossible for Omara to put on a good defense.

They bet wrong, but I have seen many an innocent defendant go for the plea deal because of the lack of money for a good lawyer and the risk of a wrongful conviction resulting in most of their life spent behind bars.
