When the media and the government can take a case with literally no credible evidence of being anything other than self-defense, and do to the man who defended his own life what they’ve done to George Zimmerman, I’d call that a serious gap.
The Grand Jury process is supposed to protect the citizen from just this kind of abuse.
For some reason in Florida this Prosecutor was able to bypass the Grand Jury and take Zimmerman to trial for murder with out a Grand Jury indictment; this is a violation of Zimmerman’s Fifth Amendments rights.
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
I wonder why the defense allowed this infringement of Zimmerman’s Constitutional rights?
