The people closest to the incident, the Sanford Police had already made the decision no crime had been committed by GZ based on their investigation. They were correct from day one. The State of Florida and FedGov overruled the local Police authorities as a response to pressure groups. It is outrageous to me that the State of Florida and FedGov can choose to ruin GZ’s life like that, and that they continue to pile on with threats of additional bogus charges to be drummed up at the federal level.
I think there are many more people here on this forum that are outraged about this than you may realize. Anyone with a working knowledge of the rule of law and the civil right of self defense should be as outraged as you are.
You would be correct in that assessment, Gabrial. I'm outraged by the thought of the Eric Holder DoJ even thinking about trying to make a Federal case against Mr. Zimmerman.
That said, the outrage is tempered a bit by the same knowledge of the rule of law you quoted. The Eric Holder DoJ has no more of a case to successfully prosecute than Angela Corey and Bernie De la Rionda did, and it would end the exact same way, with an acquittal. I know this, and more importantly, *they* know this.
When all is said and done this is mere bluster, nothing more. They shot their entire wad in the criminal trial, trying to coerce a conviction on a case with evidence which varied from weak, to non-existent. They failed...
