I doubt that. She's a Republican known for her tough stance against crime and the number of cases she's taken to trial

That may be but now, afraid of being called the R word, she has caved.

You're right. The race hustlers are responsible for Zimmerman's indictment. This special prosecutor didn't even want to take her chances with a Grand Jury. Political b itch.

That paragraph does not apply at all. Read the part you truncated: "by a person other than the person engaged in the perpetration of or in the attempt to perpetrate such felony, the person perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate such felony is guilty of murder in the second degree..."

In other words, Martin would need to have been killed by somebody other than Zimmerman, while Zimmerman was engaged in "aggravated stalking." And Martin would not need to have been the target of the stalking.

This provision is so that when a person is killed during commission of another crime, and the perpetrator is not the one who killed the victim, he can still be charged with the murder.

Show trial. Any decent lawyer can get this guy off at the jury selection stage.

I don't know the area but it seems the location of the trial and the type of people in the potential jury pool will make or break the outcome. All it takes is one juror though to win his freedom so it would seem likely he would walk

I was looking at the same thing. Sounds as if Mark O’Mara might be a good lawyer for Zimmerman

I was at a charity event in the city tonight when this was announced. Lots of lawyers there. A cheer went up from the attendees. It was sickening.

Jose is in cognito. He’s been a friend for 20 yrs. This is right up his ally. Even jose could win this case. Its a perfect case. Too easy. I could defend Z and don’t have a law degree..

" If they don't charge Zimmerman then riots are likely, with innocents hurt and maybe killed. "

I could not disagree more. Had this fallen into some hole of eternal 'investigation' something else would have taken it's place in the news cycle in short order.

Charging him, if there's not some very damning evidence not known about, means he'll be found not guilty and then hang on to your hats. Sides have been chosen over this situation in a much bigger way than they were during the Rodney King issue.

I don’t think it’ll go to trial until early 2013. Just my opinion...

Well, I don't see this and I really have no faith in “the law” at the moment. This is politics, raw.

"Show trial"


My thoughts exactly. This is no more than a political/media circus.

Doesnt matter what facts come out, the race hustlers could care less.
Not guilty verdict for Zimmerman will result in the usual thug behavior and then AG Holder will trump up federal charges against him.

Good grief. In the course of the criminal trial, the facts and the forensics will prove Zimmerman is innocent. He will be acquitted and then, if he is not hunted down and murdered by the "Justice Squad" will have to endure the expense of a civil trial, courtesy of the decedent's family.

LA riots redux - except nationwide, after the end of the criminal trial. Obama's "long hot summer" and "October surprise" all in one.

Why would Gov Rick Scott appoint a special prosecutor ???
What happen to the grand jury process ?
Why would a GOP Gov appoint this biased loon ?
I have lost all respect for Scott !
He has set ups huge political side show in Fl just before the
2012 election !
