They have been at a terrible disadvantage to do their investigation. How could anyone do their work with that pressure.
Oh, BTW, by the latest police video, it appears that Zimmerman was arrested. Just maybe the facts did not provide enough evidence to continue to hold him. Or maybe the continuing investigation will provide evidence that will be presented to a grand jury. Do you trust the current police chief, should we trust him? He is black, will he just bow to the pressure of Al and Jesse??? Do you see how that feels?? Not good, is it?

Dude,
the media circus didn't begin until a full three weeks after this young man's death.
It is common knowledge that in MOST cases when a crime of the magnitude of murder is potentially committed, the alleged perpetrator is remanded until the grand jury-- usually as a public safety precaustion.
The perpetrator has a criminal record.
The teen did not.
It would have been impossible for the Sanford PD to have access to this young man's school records so they didn't have the prejudicial knowledge of the plastic bag with traces of weed in his book bag.
They had a dead boy and his killer was a guy who already had a criminal record and they took the word of the criminal that night.
No, the Sanford PD did not execute due diligence or practice good judgment that night.
