"There is probable cause to believe that this person committed the crime with which he's charged," Davis continued."

Actually it doesn't. As Alan Dershowitz pointed out, it doesn't even come close to establishing probable cause for 2nd degree murder. The affidavit contains NO evidence regarding the stringent culpablilty elements of a 2nd degree murder charge. He shouldn't even have to put up a bail.

This prosecutor has used this affidavit as an application to the Mike Nifong legal firm.

Dershowitz called her irresponsible and unethical. She has left out major parts of the evidence. If Zimmerman has a good lawyer this prosecutor will have to fight to keep her law license.

Zimmerman's rights were violated by charging him with second-degree murder. The prosecutor made the charges without going through a grand jury.

The Fifth Amendment states that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury..."

Surely being accused of murder and facing a possible penalty of life imprisonment makes this an "infamous" crime. (At least that's my opinion...but I'm not a lawyer.)

You are under the mistaken belief that this is about justice,it is not it is about a dog & pony show to agitate the African-American comunity to hate whitey & to vote for Barry. Also to help prevent a bloody race riot that the poverty pimps Al & Jesse along with the NBPP have been agitating for.
