Zimmerman Arrested
George Zimmerman has been arrested on Second Degree Murder charges for the February 26, 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL.
This story should really be filed under Non-News Of The Day.
The government of Florida, likely under the “instruction” of Obama and Eric Holder, “hired” Angela Corey to do exactly that – arrest, try, convict, and incarcerate George Zimmerman.
It ridiculous to believe otherwise since Corey is Florida’s top dog when it comes to convicting people on homicide charges. She’s currently also overseeing prosecution of 12-year-old Cristian Fernandez as an adult on charges of homicide and aggravated child abuse.
What happens now is just the steady, slow beat of the drum that ends up with Mr. Zimmerman behind bars where the Black inmate population can do the government’s “work” for them. It will start with the travesty of the Grand Jury indictment – which Corey is not allowing to set the charges – and proceed to a lengthy case that will exhaust Zimmerman’s finances and force him into a plea bargain.
Then sometime shortly after it is proven that Zimmerman has no funds left for his defense Holder’s federal hate crime investigation will “find” that they have enough evidence to charge Zimmerman under federal hate crime statutes and have his sentence expanded.
From this point on in the Zimmerman case the only news will be what special instructions the judge overseeing the case is told to give the jury in order to reach the “right” verdict.

I don’t think they can make it stick. With second degree murder they must have something that shows that he attacked Martin. If all they have is a gun shot wound then it is either first degree or self defence. And they ruled out first degree for a reason.
They may go through with the trial as a way of appeasing the opinion, even though they know the evidence is lacking.

Under Florida’s Second Degree Murder statutes, the jury only has to find that that a death was caused by a criminal act demonstrating a depraved mind without regard for human life, which is not that hard of stretch since Zimmerman has already been convicted by the media.
Most likely though, Corey will make the public’s verdict very clear to Zimmerman and then stretch out the case until he runs out of money to pay his lawyers in order to force him to take a plea bargain for Manslaughter.
That’s how this game is really played.
