WAY overcharged.

This former Prosecutor agrees .. again, based on what I see which is almost always not the full story. Manslaughter was an easy call. This surprises me.

"WAY overcharged."

Absolutely. Definite overkill.

Makes me wonder if she plans on offering him a deal. They'll be hard-pressed to prove the charges, and where will the guy be able to get an unbiased jury? I hope Zimmerman gets himself a good criminal defense lawyer who slaps them all upside the head.

“WAY overcharged.”

Yes, my first thought. Good luck getting a conviction on murder when the guy who got shot was on top beating the snot out of the accused. Not gonna happen. Manslaughter would be a stretch.

Having grown up in Fla and knowing the area down there IMO the prosecutor is doing this to avoid the blacks lighting a bonfire and doing the Watusi for a week or so.

If there was any reason to arrest and charge Zimmerman they would have done it weeks ago.
