This just in: Zimmerman will be charged with violating the city noise ordinance by discharging a firearm within city limits!
Why bother with a trial? Al and Jesse won’t be satisfied until Zimmerman is hanging from a sour apple tree.
If I am not mistaken, there still needs to be a preliminary hearing to determine if there is probable cause. If this ever goes to trial, he would be better off having a bench trial instead of a jury trial. That is if he can get a judge who is not a democratic hack.
This statement, among others in the article, is a flat out lie. No "ruling" has come down yet and won't until 6:00 PM. All we have is, once again, unnamed sources a favorite of the MSM.
What makes you think the folks running this show trial to stop a race war give a damn about a fair trial by an impartial jury? This a dog & pony show for the cause of political correctness complete with a preordained verdict.

OK, the Obama re-election campaign is in full gear now ...
I can be impartial.
Angela Corey has a reputation for being non-political and professional, but I’m surprised by this charge. I took some heat here for claiming that Zimmerman isn’t a purely innocent victim, but I don’t think he was planning to kill anyone. Now I’m wondering if a plea bargain could be in the works?
“Of course they are. Where, exactly, do they intend to find an impartial jury?”
That is one of the problems with trying someone in the press. You taint the jury pool.
I’m upset now that they have charged him with 2nd Degree Murder. However, I don’t think the prosecution will be able to convince 12 people, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Mr. Zimmerman is guilty. So, I’m a little “upbeat” but cautious.
The language I found at a Florida lawyer’s website of the elemements of the 2nd degree murder that must be proved by the prosecution....well they don’t look possible. Not if just 1 of the 12 stands there ground (no pun intended).
What has to be proved by prosecution:
(1)The victim is dead;
(2)The death was caused by the criminal act of the defendant;
(3)There was an unlawful killing of the victim by an act imminently dangerous to another and demonstrating a depraved mind without regard for human life.
Parts two and three just can’t be proven to a reasonable jury. Especially (3). “Depraved mind without regard for human life.” Nope - Cannot be done.
No matter what she claims, she had no choice or Sanford would burn. It may well burn anyway after a couple hung juries and his release.
I would expect there to be at least one black on the jury in normal circumstances. But in this case, how can they find one black in the jury pool area that hasn’t heard of the particulars and who hasn’t already made up his or her mind that Zimmerman is guilty. Also there should be at least one hispanic on the jury as well. It only takes one person to throw a monkey wrench into the process and keep them from a unanimous guilty verdict. I expect that there will be more than one who will have doubts once all of the evidence is heard. Sanford Fl, get your fire insurance up to date. For that matter, maybe all of us should be ready in case a full scale civil war breaks out. I have plenty of 30 cal M1 carbine ammo on hand, the perfect weapon for close range street fighting and home defense.
You Americans are funny people with a funny law system.

There’s more evidence that Ted Kennedy was a murderer than George Zimmerman.
WTF is a ‘white Hispanic’????
That’s like saying ‘white Vietnamese’.
