Zimmerman is not going to be found guilty. Not sure if this ridiculous charge was intentionally meant to fail, but there is absolutely no way they can prove murder nor intent. The fact alone that the Sanford police already investigated Zimmerman and found him innocent is going to ensure his freedom. This whole BS press conference today was just about political grandstanding for those involved.
If Zimmerman is found not guilty, there will be murderous riots by those who identify with Martin.
I’m not a lawyer, but there is simply no way, as you said, that they can prove a murder charge unless they are sitting on significantly more evidence. Also, as you alluded to, he was held and questioned by the police and not charged. How could a second-degree murder charge possibly follow that? No legitimate charge could, that’s for sure.
I’m not sure what to make of it. It might be grandstanding. It might be a rabid and overzealous prosecutor (Mike Nifong would have company in that case). It could be something else entirely. This charge is absurd on its face, so there’s got to be something else going on here.
It is not just political grandstanding. It is appeasement. And it is meant as a pacifier for the racist, anti-whitey crowd. But if or when Zimmerman is found innocent, we’ll be right back where we were before taxpayers had to pay for this bogus trial. And yes, this entire fiasco is meant to warn whitey not to fight back against blacks. Not while Holder is heading the DOJ and not while Obama is in the WH.
