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!  |
JD - how will you react if he is found not guilty?
I personally believe that Corey believed it would have been career suicide not to have charged him.
If I was in her shoes I would have most likely followed the same course of action.
Insofar as the Sanford PD and Seminole DA, if Zim is found not guilty, than the action, or non-action, they took will have been justified.
