The prosecution, the media and the race-baiters vs. Zimerman

Walking Papers? The Incredibly Thin, Speculative Zimmerman AffidavitAngela Corey's filing against George Zimmerman bears the hallmarks of a career-ender.

"The affidavit starts out typically, listing the names and qualifications of the two investigators used by the special prosecutor. It then begins to build a case against George Zimmerman:
On Sunday 2/26/12, Trayvon Martin was temporarily living at the Retreat at Twin Lakes, a gated community in Sanford, Seminole County, Florida. That evening Martin walked to a nearby 7-11 Store where he purchased a can of iced tea and some Skittles. Martin then walked back to and entered the gated community and was on his way back to the townhouse where he was living when he was profiled by George Zimmerman. Martin was unarmed and was not committing a crime.
"Not one paragraph into the “meat” of the affidavit, Corey’s team already made two unsubstantiated claims."
....
"I live and work in central North Carolina, just miles away from where an overzealous, politically minded prosecutor named Mike Nifong attempted to railroad athletes from the Duke University lacrosse team in a similarly racially charged environment just a half-decade ago.
"Nifong was disbarred and found guilty of criminal contempt for his actions. Angela Corey’s affidavit against George Zimmerman looks to be treading dangerously close to that same path."


Overcriminalization: Attacking a Dangerous Precedent  "What happens when the Florida legislature eliminates the centuries-old requirement that the government must prove that an accused person acted with criminal intent before he may be punished as a criminal?  It risks making almost anyone a criminal – both those who intend to commit a crime and those who do so by accident.  And that’s wrong.  It’s wrong as a matter of policy, and it’s wrong as a matter of history."

 Dan Joppich: Zimmerman's media lynching continues  "The long delay is because there was no case. And the delay didn't spark the protests, the media manipulation of the 911 tapes and police video did. The arrest was done in order to appease the likes of Al Sharpton, not to achieve justice for Martin."
...."This is exactly the race-baiting that the media is exploiting. Why is the author attaching the "white and" label to Zimmerman. Do we refer to Obama as a "white and" black man? Do we refer to Tiger Woods as an "Asian and" black person? Zimmerman is considered Hispanic just the same as Obama and Tiger are always referred to as black. The author's motives are obvious here."


MSNBC: WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIE ABOUT YOU  "...MSNBC’s latest attack on the Koch brothers, whom guest host Karen Finney outrageously blamed for the Trayvon Martin shooting. Finney’s slander was repeated on MSNBC by former Obama administration official Van Jones, who said, “You’ve got all of the passion around Trayvon and what a horrible injustice that was and you can draw a direct line to the Koch brothers.”
