Cheney Mason, the freewheeling criminal defense attorney who successfully defended tot mom Casey Anthony, is shaking his head over the second-degree murder charge against George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
The charge leveled by prosecutor Angela Corey is too severe and reeks of political calculus, Mason said.
“It’s political prostitution,” Mason said. “Now I don’t have all the facts – no one does – but you look at what we know of the case and it looks like the prosecutor bowed to other pressures.
“The fact is there is lots of racial bigotry in this case,” Mason said. “And a lot of it is coming from the side of Trayvon Martin’s family. I can understand why his family is upset. They lost a child. But they weren’t at the crime scene. None of us was.”
Mason said Corey is too zealous of a prosecutor.
"This is a person who wanted to put a 12-year-old boy as an adult for murder. It’s just too much,” Mason said.

Mason said there will be a hearing under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law – which expands the right to use deadly force -- and the charges could be dropped then by a judge. But, Mason said, “people are using Stand Your Ground to obfuscate the facts of this case. This comes down to the fundamentals of homicide. What’s the evidence? The burden of proof is on the prosecution. It’s not on George Zimmerman. And you can’t blame Stand Your Ground for this tragedy.”
Here are grounds for case against George Zimmerman to be thrown out and or appealed. Judicial misconduct by Prosecutors!

When/If George Zimmerman is found Guilty of anything, there is already an appeal issue that will GUARANTEE his verdict being overturned!
The Prosecution has tainted the proceedings during the investigation and bringing of the charges. His lawyer,O’Mara, in bond hearing today can bring it up but probably will not. If he did the Judge would have to rule in his favor.
O’Mara will probably not play that card now.
Separation of Church and State
If my kids cannot pray in schools or school sporting events,then sure as HELL and God made little green apples this prosecution should not stand!
Use this against Zero and the Fascist State!
And would that it were so, that your use of the subjunctive would so bowl me over, as to render me speechless.
I'm curious to know what you think would've been correct. I.e., what exactly is wrong with "None of us was there"?
Care to educate us?
Her lawyer was sitting right next to her when she said it.
Fortunately, what has been heard cannot be unheard.
No I would prefer to leave you all in grammatical ignorance. :-)
A student was walking across campus at Harvard one day and he walked past an English professor and asked: "Where's the library at?".
The Professor looked down upon the student with distain and said. "This is Harvard University. At Harvard we do not end our sentences with a preposition.
The student responded, "OK, Where's the library at, @$$hole?"
That is why it could be possible that Obama could be punished with those who have been supporting him by having Romney elected by default by those whom I call the new “silent majority” for doing too much hot pot stiring.
I know people that vote “to send a message,” but it doesn’t work that way. They just count the votes, one at a time, and whoever comes out on top wins. Obama has to keep it close enough that fraud can put him over the top.
The fraud in the voting process is a very big concern that I have, Obama being very desperate to win. But do not be surprised if I am write that there will be anger in the voting process come November.
People vote angry all the time, on both sides. They just throw out opposing votes and see who’s left. I’ve given up on the angry thing. My vote will be cancelled out by an illegal or a libtard goofball and in the end, Zero will carry Oregon.
A lot of the illegals went home because of the struggling economy and hopefully the liberals are waking up and getting a clue.

You’ve never met a real dyed in the wool Oregon liberal, have you? They get dumber with age. As for illegals going home due to the struggling economy, you wouldn’t know it to look around here. Rural Oregon is always strapped...but it’s better than Mexico.
