[SWAMPSNIPER]

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

[Verginius Rufus]

Somehow the rule about the grand jury having to present an indictment did not apply in Zimmerman's case--was it because Zimmerman's crime of killing that angelic little boy was so heinous, or simply because the Bill of Rights does not apply at the state level (except when it does)?

Corey went for second degree murder because even in Florida she could not charge Zimmerman with first degree murder without getting a grand jury to agree.

You post that constitutional prohibition against “double jeopardy” as if it matters. The constitution has been
null and void in America for decades. If we wish to return to a form of government that pays heed to and obeys that
old piece of parchment we are going to have to exterminate
several million politicians and bureaucrats at all levels of
government. Until then those who have seized power can and will do as they wish, when they wish to whom they wish.
