Did George Zimmerman's prosecutors try to get him off?

George Zimmerman was acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin, a New Orleans attorney complained to me Monday, because the prosecution didn't want to win a conviction. The attorney, who has worked at Tulane and Broad as an assistant district attorney and as a defense lawyer, called me to say that he's handled hundreds of homicide cases over his career and that he's never seen prosecutors who want to win make the series of missteps that the Florida prosecutors made. So he's convinced they lost on purpose. He offered six reasons for his belief that the state threw the case.

Missteps = absolutely no evidence of a crime

That article title just does not sound right . . .

Yeah, the prosecutor tried to get him acquitted. That’s why they called all those stupid witnesses.

Of course, another possibility is that the prosecution never wanted to bring the case in the first case because there was no evidence to support the charges. Or any charges. And some sort of pressure was brought by an outside force.

We wont’ know about that for a few years, and we’ll know when one or more of the prosecuting attorneys are nominated for federal judgeships, university provosts, or other similarly cushy jobs.

Well, they have been accused of blowing the case.

I completely agree, Zero has taken everything else off the front page, at the same time further inflaming race relations.

If Rachel Genital (deliberate) is your best witness, you have no case.

Exactly. No prosecutor wants to lose a case. Ever.

But bad facts are bad facts.

Of course they did not want a conviction. If Zimmerman was convicted, how do you incite people to riot? The acquittal is part of the play.

” ‘Kay. Number one your honor, just look at him. And B, we’ve got all this, like, evidence, of how, like, this guy didn’t even pay at the hospital. And I heard that he doesn’t even have his tattoo. (boos) I know! And I’m all, ‘you’ve gotta be shittin’ me!’ But check this out man, judge should be like...guilty! Peace.”

“And some sort of pressure was brought by an outside force.”

Obama’s speech today gave much support to your ideas.

I’m surprised that Angela Corey didn’t recruit him for the team.
