Angela Corey and Kalina v. Fletcher, 522 US 118

U.S. Supreme Court ^ | 12/10/1997 | Justice Stevens

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

There are no such firms. They leave the heavy lifting to Orly and then criticize. Oh, the beauty of being a conservative law firm, no risk just criticism.

[Uncle Chip]

One of the questions that needs to be asked is when did the prosecution find out about those words: “creepy ass cracka”,

A “cracka” to Martin was/is a person acting like the police or a security guard.

Martin believed that he was running from the poooolice or security guard — aka “cracka”.

So then all this nonsense from the prosecution about Zimmerman having to identify himself as neighborhood watch was a red herring from the prosecution.

[henkster]

Oh, by the way...what do you think about the IT guy having a civil rights action for wrongful termination? I figure Florida is an “at-will” state, but do you think a retaliatory termination to cover up a civil rights violation is actionable?

[Jim Noble]

Angela Corey will not be able to claim prosecutorial immunity

Does prosecutorial immunity cover going on GMA and calling GZ a murderer after he's been found not guilty and dismissed from the court?

I DON'T THINK SO.

[hoosiermama]

1. Evidence hearing now pending (sanction) ?
2. Prosecutorial Misconduct ?
3. Infringing on Zimmerman’s civil rights?

And the various lawsuits against media

[patriotspride]

And did I read where she had a 12 yr old stand trial as an adult?

Yes.

Cristian Fernandez case

In 2011 Corey’s office oversaw a case in which 12-year-old Cristian Fernandez was accused of killing his two-year-old brother. Corey sought and received a grand jury indictment of Fernandez on charges of homicide and aggravated child abuse, and decided to try him as an adult.[14] This move, which made Fernandez the youngest person ever to face a murder charge in Jacksonville’s history, drew criticism and protests to send the case to juvenile court instead,[15] but Corey held that the juvenile system was inadequate to handle a crime of this magnitude.[16] Corey stated she did not intend for Fernandez to stand trial or serve a life sentence, but would rather accept a plea deal.[17] Fernandez pleaded guilty to manslaughter in February 2013 and was sentenced to detention in a juvenile facility until his 19th birthday.[18]

Notice the overcharge to get something lesser approach.

Look familiar ????

[Red Steel]

It appear to me at first blush he may have a case. Corey strikes me from the get go as vindictive and dishonest.

Dear henkster,

Florida has whistleblower laws, although I'm not a lawyer and don't know how relevant they might be. But I'd guess that’d be a good place to look first.

If Angela Corey submitted a false affidavit after attesting to its truthfulness under penalty of perjury, then she would be acting as a complaining witness and could be liable for both criminal and civil penalties.

Zimmerman could sue her, but who’s going to prosecute her?

Is the COWARD Rick Scott going to call for a special prosecutor?

[Hostage]

Wasn’t the DA called back to indict Zimmerman after first refusing to do so? I seem to remember pressure was put on officials at some level to bring on the indictment.

[TigersEye]

I don’t recall the details of that but it wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t think he had anything to do with the indictment that was brought against GZ though. I’m pretty sure he stood his ground.

[offduty]

In our department the situation was similar. We had a prosecutor on-call for felony arrests. We were not allowed to “charge” a suspect unless we conferred with the prosecutor as to the specifics of the crime, probable cause, and under which section of the ORC we would charge. But, as a police officer, I wrote the affidavit as the complaining witness.

It was a pain in the butt to get a prosecutor up in the middle of the night, but it certainly made for better criminal prosecutions. There was never any reason to amend a complaint when we got to preliminary. Much more efficient system.

[SeaHawkFan]

That would be a defamation case, and a pretty strong one. There is no immunity when talking to the press.

[SeaHawkFan]

Looks like she didn't actually sign it, but she had to know it was false and misleading. There is also the obstruction of justice for the Brady violations for which she had full knowledge.

[SeaHawkFan]

I’d have to find the cases, but the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that adverse personnel actions can form the basis for a 1st Amendment Civil Rights action, because of the public interest in corrupt government activity being exposed as long as it doesn’t publicize national security interests; or words to that effect.

[nd76]

So far as I can tell, she did not execute the “probable cause” affidavit; rather, LEOs T. C. O’Steen and Dale Gilbreath did. Here is a link to the affidavit:
