Anger + Sadness = RAGE

[Jermyn Davidson]

I am SO GLAD that the media did expose this case, that the Martin Family did not give up and that zim was finally arrested.


Do you all realize that this case would not have been national news had the Sanford PD just arrested this guy in the first place? Or if the Martin family just accepted that their son was the cause of his own death that night he went to the store to get iced tea and skittles?


How is it the case can go from "Ok, you killed him in self defense? You can go home," to 2nd Degree Murder? The facts haven't changed. The Prosecution presented the facts and a Judge agreed that there is probable cause to believe that 2nd Degree Murder took place.


This does nothing for the reputation of the Sanford PD or the District Attorney's office over in Seminole County.


Angela Corey presented the facts, Charged zim with 2nd Degree Murder and a Judge agreed that there was "Probable Cause" for such a charge and now a guy who took a kid's life is behind bars. Finally!


I am glad!

Nice of you to be happy,even though he aint convicted , i know you think he is guilty and nothing will change your mind,no matter the real evidence, dont be shocked if a jury never sees this.This is a grandstand move on the prosecutors part.

I got that impression to.

Did you watch the actual news conference? She seemed a bit smug and a little gleeful even at a couple of spots.

I don't think 2nd Degree Murder will fly.

I used to think Manslaughter would not fly, but it would have been a bit easier to comprehend and convince a Manslaughter charge-- unless the Prosecution has some solid evidence that has not been made public yet.

Seriously, I am just glad the kid killer was at a bare minimum arrested.

He killed a kid. He was a big kid, but at the end of the day, he was still a kid.

How? Political pressure?

Harvard Prof. Alan Dershowitz: Zimmerman Arrest Affidavit ‘Irresponsible And Unethical’

Dershowitz called the affidavit justifying Zimmerman’s arrest “not only thin, it’s irresponsible.” He went on to criticize the decision to charge Zimmerman for second degree murder by special prosecutor Angela Corey as being politically motivated.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/harvard-p...and-unethical/

This is Florida law for Second degree murder - "The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual.:


Basically, there is no "probable cause" in the charging instrument.

Read this on Twitter: "I'm extremely disappointed in @PamBondi for appointing Angela Corey to begin with. Bondi had to know what this Corey scumbag was like."

Really, it couldn't have been about the facts?

Had Corey said that there would not be any charges made against zim, would that call be based on facts of the case?

I am content to wait and see how it plays out, fact is, neither you nor I have all the facts. We have our opinions, based on our biases, experience and gut feelings. Agreed???
