Actually, the State bringing charges is not all that stupid.
If they had not brought charges they knew that things would have exploded with riots etc.
Now that charges have been brought it appears the mother and probably all the family will now start ‘talking down’ the racists as they know what really happened.
Now if the case is dismissed or a not guilty verdict is reached at trial they are hoping all the evidence will dissipate the tensions and hopefully avert riots.
it is a calculated gamble by the state — trade 100% sure riots for a 25-50% chance there are no riots when Zimmerman is exonorated.
And then there is always the possibility that there is evidence that shows the charges are justified — although I think this is highly unlikely.
I thought that last night.
The prosecutor brings charges to make a trial happen so ALL the evidence is presented in court for ALL to see.
Then he is found NOT GUILTY and the state is off the hook...........
