Because of political considerations, Zimmerman (who is an idiot ... and is definitely guilty of the heinous crime of politically incorrect remarks ... and is damn lucky HE ain't the dead guy) will be placed on trial. If he is found innocent, which is a pretty good bet based on the evidence seen so far, this will be the signal for the beginning of national riots.
After he is found innocent in the Florida Courts, or as might be more likely given the political circumstances, allowed to "cop a plea" to a much less serious offense, he will be tried and convicted in the Federal Courts for the Offense of "Denying Trayvon his Civil Rights," just as were the officers who saved Rodney King's life. (Even the ACLU initially found that a Constitutional violation!)
The Obama Election Machine was (and always is) absolutely ready and waiting for an inflammatory incident and now, by golly, they've gotten themselves a real doozy! Al? Al Sharpton? Why he's got himself a new and improved Tawana Brawley!
Riots. Lawsuits (The cops, Zimmerman, the city, the HOA: get ready). Rhetoric. Elections.
DA’s are all about one thing; winning. They will not prosecute a case they don’t think they can win. This sounds like way too much of a self defense case for them to overcome. You have witnesses and 911 tapes that are supportive of the shooter. I don’t think this has a chance in court.
Good post, absolutely correct.
