I think history should have shown us that we can not have a real justice system in the United States with “elected” prosecutors. The “DA” wants to be re-elected and they will want to move on to a higher elected office. They all want to be the Governor and they dream after that of being elected President of the United States.
So how do you get re-elected? You make sure that you send people to jail. You make sure you put people on death roll.
If you get a crime that is high profile you milk it for all it is worth.
If you do what the people want … You get votes… If you do not go along with what is popular then it cost you votes and your political career is over.
Right now CNN is saying that George Zimmerman is going to be arrested and charged in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
The special prosecutor Angela Corey is going to hold a news conference in about 3 hours.
She was elected in 2008. If she does not file charges of murder her chances of being re-elected are over.
Of course if she files charges I am not sure who will be in court. She might just file the charges and then someone else could be in court. I feel sorry for the prosecutor in court if he or she loses the case.
Unless she has some information that we do not have… I do not see how they can charge Zimmerman with a crime because of the FL “Stand Your Ground” law.
We should know in a few hours if she has some information that we have not heard.
I have not heard anything that would lead me to think that they can win the case in court.
If she is bringing this case to help her in politics she might have made a big error.
It would not surprise me if the NRA decided to come to the defense of George Zimmerman. Because they are the Godfather of the “Stand Your Ground” law.
This court case is going to be about the “Stand Your Ground” law.
If the NRA comes into the case and if they put all their weight into this case then later they would turn their rage and their power to attack and end the political career of Angela Corey. She might as well go into real estate law or contract law because her political career will be over.
Here in a few hours if George Zimmerman is charged with a crime I bet that NRA members will be contacting the NRA and demanding that the NRA come to the defense of Zimmerman.
Now the place for the NRA to come to the defense is in the hearing before a judge on the matter of does the “Stand Your Ground” law apply to this shooting. I think the law does apply and I think that the state is going to lose right at that point. Unless we find out in a few hours that the state has some information that we do not know about. I can not believe that they do have any such information.
When Zimmerman is charged many people are going to be very happy. But just think of their rage if he is let go because of the “Stand Your Ground” law.
If he does go to trial I suspect he will be found not guilty. Unless there is something we do not know at this time.
