Nope, the DA has screwed herself, big time!
Too late now. She hoped to play this big time in front of the drooling cameras. The media will need a scapegoat for their own stupid reporting—and she’s it.
Never mind that the media lied before she did. They control the news.
She probably hoped to play this into a future governorship. Forget it, stupid.
Is it time for Corey to be examined on ethics charges?
How correct you are.
I sat in court with my grandson as all the cases were being handled. Not realizing it at the time the Judge wanted every case out of the way so the court room was empty except for me and my grandson. The Judge then proceeded to chew the prosecutor out for overcharging the case. My grandson's defense lawyer said to the Judge I can see now why you put us off to the very last.
they’ll just refile it as “manslaughter”
...and face disciplinary action up to and including loss of her job and possibly her license.
I want Sham-ton sued. Dropping charges isn’t enough... Panthers need to be investigated for witness tampering...
Are you sick of our 'law enforcement people' cowering in front of threats of black violence? Dershowitz is calling this one from a bastion of liberal group think - that takes courage. Thanks Dershowitz...
“There is, of course, no assurance that the special prosecutor handling the case, State Attorney Angela Corey, will do the right thing. Because until now, her actions have been anything but ethical, lawful and professional.”
Did State AG “Inherit the wind”, as did Barrack, Al and Jesse?
Proverbs 11:29, He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
That depends upon whether or not the judge dismisses "with prejudice". Since any manslaughter charge would be based on the same act, with the same set of facts as the original charge, that would result in him being prosecuted twice for substantially the same crime. If the charge is dismissed with prejudice, filing again under manslaughter would violate the prohibition against double jeopardy.

Now Alan, go down to Floriduh and take over the case for Zimmerman’s defense Pro Bono. Now that would really be the “ethical” thing to do.
when he's right, he's right. Just like a stopped clock.
Zimmerman should get Dershowitz for his defense attorney.
The cognitive dissonance at that point would cause liberal spontaneous combustion throughout our land.
” She probably hoped to play this into a future governorship. Forget it, stupid.”
Is she 1/128th Cherokee?
She might be able to teach at Harvard.
Who writes this crud? I know what it means, etc. but come on... I am not even sure that the use of this word is correct given the context of the sentence...
usually there is prosecutorial discretion. Don't know how it works in florida. Can the prosecutor withdraw the 2nd degree murder charge and re-file as manslaughter ? or do they first have to get the judge to dismiss ?
Thanks
I believe it is not correct. Alan Dershowitz is not confidentially revealing a private, secret thought here - he is shouting from the rooftops to anyone who cares to hear.
Dershowits's specialty is appeals.
