I think a few factors are at play. If DeeDee is who I think she is, she and Corey could connect on a deep level of shared Christian belief. Corey would tend to lose objectivity, and be inclined to take DeeDee at her word, maybe overlooking internal inconsistencies in her story.

Corey seems to have taken a personal like to the Martin family. She's biased.

If she's looking at her prospects for election, she's courting the black vote. She may also think that charging Zimmerman somehow counterbalances her charging that juvenile as an adult. I don't see much sense in that, but IMO, Corey is not acting with steely-eyed rationality.

And then she has the governor appointing her when the public is screaming for an arrest. He doesn't have to remind her that the public is screaming for an arrest, but maybe he did.

Some good may come of it all. I read that the Florida legislature is considering passing a law that requires special prosecutors to take cases to a grand jury, even if the case is not a capital case. The point of having a special prosecutor is to avoid the appearance and occurrence of an extraordinary result - not to create one.

So what was this again, Dee Dee is alleging at the moment of truth/falsehood, forget what went before? That she was told by Tray that Mr. Z was bearing down on him, bent on a brawl?

This is not a good representation of what being “Christian” is. This does not mean buying in to every sob story. It means looking at the reasons for believing what they believe.

I wouldn’t discount offers of big money either. They have been known to make intelligent and ethical people do stupid things.

Elsewhere it was mentioned that the local prosecutor was removed after he publicly stated this would go to a grand jury. Can’t have that.

Who would DeeDee be? Also why didn’t DeeDee come forward the next day when she found out TM was dead?

One other little thing from the data dump last week, SPD called Tracy Martin to get the pass code for TM’s phone... Tracy Martin told SPD he’d have to consult with his attorney first. This was at the beginning of March. Not really interested in fact finding what he?
