A hint that she is bowing to political pressure and will prosecute him regardless of the evidence is that she recently stated that she will not put the case before a grand jury. Even though evidentiary standards are low for a grand jury, you still must have some evidence to indict. She does not want the embarrassment of the grand jury returning a no bill.She will prosecute him for manslaughter or negligent homicide without regard to whether she has the evidence or not.

Her decision to NOT call a grand jury is victory for Zimmerman. Grand juries believe they have been called to issue indictments; as a former prosecutor, I know this to be true.

I once called a grand jury to give a “second opinion” on a case where I didn’t think there was enough evidence, and the grand jury agreed. But they were pissed because they thought I wasted their time with bringing them a case where there wasn’t enough evidence.
