“The bottom line is that the police see no reason to arrest Zimmerman.”
The police did more than not arrest him. They gave him the gun back! That is unheard of in a shooting. It’s very possible that they have a weak case now because of all the mistakes that were made at the crime scene. The police screwed up and now they are blaming the “Stand Your Ground” Law to cover themselves.
You are correct, some piss poor cop work.
