If she was and she really doesn’t want this ball of wax, she could just cede the case. This case, however, has a zombie life now. marching resolutely on while dead.
So the “little boy” was in a fight club? Why am I not surprised?
But here is the latest wrinkle sure to drive the Dimmhoroids bonkers. Travon was homophobic and thought that Zim was a “creepy fag” as he told his girlfriend on the phone. That is why he attacked so violently and without warning.
Yet, in this Mondo Bizarro world of liberalism a ‘gay bashing” self defense would probably work for Zim if he chose to use it. Witness the beating of that white He/She in the McDonalds by two black women that was on U tube a while back. Only after it was revealed that it was “transgendered” were the hate charges filed.
The world is really upside down these days
Corey seems to have taken a personal like to the Martin family. She's biased.
If she's looking at her prospects for election, she's courting the black vote. She may also think that charging Zimmerman somehow counterbalances her charging that juvenile as an adult. I don't see much sense in that, but IMO, Corey is not acting with steely-eyed rationality.
And then she has the governor appointing her when the public is screaming for an arrest. He doesn't have to remind her that the public is screaming for an arrest, but maybe he did.
Some good may come of it all. I read that the Florida legislature is considering passing a law that requires special prosecutors to take cases to a grand jury, even if the case is not a capital case. The point of having a special prosecutor is to avoid the appearance and occurrence of an extraordinary result - not to create one.
Too bad Tray’s pushing up daisies as he would be sport for such a hate crime trial.
But hey, if Mr. Z gets sued by Tray’s folks, I can see the countersuit ready made.
All it takes is the rest of the jury to intimidate that one juror.
Perhaps her thinking, and perhaps what worked in past non-high-profile cases, is figure out what charge makes sense, then increment figuring there would be a plea-bargain down to the appropriate level. If so, this is her undoing, as Z and his lawyers get the charges dropped, as it cannot support Murder-II, and no plea bargain.
Cops don’t like Neighborhood Watch groups.
For many reasons. They can’t control them. They generate calls. They have people putting themselves into situations where the police will not protect them. Etc.
So what was this again, Dee Dee is alleging at the moment of truth/falsehood, forget what went before? That she was told by Tray that Mr. Z was bearing down on him, bent on a brawl?
This is not a good representation of what being “Christian” is. This does not mean buying in to every sob story. It means looking at the reasons for believing what they believe.
Got that right. For the longest time I believed that she HAD to have something more solid than what we were all hearing. If she didn’t she is an absolute friggin’ idiot for bringing this case.
You have to cultivate them right and that takes engagement by the agency involved. Each needs to understand their roles, their limitations, and that the goal is the same.
If you are a white, or a white-hispanic, you must never leave your car unless no blacks are around.
If you are white, you must never leave your car unless there are no hispanics around.
As a general rule of thumb, before exiting your car, look to see if anyone darker than you is there to take offense. If so, stay in your car. You lose the right to self-defense if you are guilty of ‘exiting your car in the presence of a person of darker color’...
Since Mr. Zimmerman is 1/8 black, could he at least roll down his window or stick one foot out?
she believes she has unfettered immunity form any consequences by mere title of office.
She is a PROSECUTOR she can charge anyone with anything regardless of evidence and do it with impunity. Truth is irrelivant. She need only satisfy her prosecutorial whim.
I agree, and one should value the quality of steely-eyed objectivity in a prosecutor.
But Corey made a point of telling the public she prayed with the Martins, and if DeeDee is who I think it is, DeeDee also professes a relationship with Jesus Christ. I have a hunch that reason went out the window.
Not for the same "soul sister" (in a Christian sense, not racial sense) reason, but Bernie de la Rionda's interview with DeeDee is leading as all get out. He talks more than she does, and seems to be approaching the interview from the point of view of a shared, known scenario. He believes he knows what happened, and he 1) believes she heard it go down the same way so all she's doing is filling details and 2) expects her to tell him a story that aligns with the one that he has preconceived as true.
In short, he does not treat her as an objective skeptic would treat a witness.
At least the special prosecutor's office isn't criticizing SPD's investigation, at least not publicly.
Says it all! Great pix.
Nifonged.
The local Orlando rag, the Orlando Sentinel had a fawning article about Angela Corey and how professional she is. It went on and on about how she would do the right thing and get to the bottom of what happened. The Slantinel, as we call it here in O-town, is owned by....wait for it—the Chicago Tribune!
