Prosecutor Will Not Use Grand Jury in George Zimmerman Case: Smart or Sketchy?

Special prosecutor Angela Corey has announced that she will not use a grand jury to decide whether or not indict George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin, ABC News reports. She says a grand jury will not be necessary in making the decision and assures the public, "The decision should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case."

Analysts are calling Corey's decision "bold" and "shocking" because grand juries can be used as political cover in controversial cases. Prosecutors can shift the burden of the decision (in this case, whether or not to indict Zimmerman) onto the jury to avoid public scrutiny. Some suspect the reason she bypassed a grand jury in the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case was to block racial agendas that have developed around the case in either direction. But was it the right move?

    ...and the "Us and Them" mentality that drives militant Separatist blacks in America lives on ...today the NEED is for Zimmerman to be a white man so he is a “them” . LOL

    That is because he is a white Latino and if you look on any census form it says Latino NON white.

    So is Obama a white African American?
  • aneed2know gvc 2012/04/12 04:44:57

    Obama is African American, his mom is white, he dad is black. But more to the point, it was white America with its anti-race mixing laws:

    You know the one drop rule.

    Anti-miscegenation laws, also known as miscegenation laws, were laws that enforced racial segregation at the level of marriage and intimate relationships by criminalizing interracial marriage and sometimes also sex between members of different races. Such laws were first introduced in North America from the late seventeenth century onwards by several of the Thirteen Colonies, and subsequently by many US states and US territories and remained in force in many US states until 1967. After the Second World War, an increasing number of states repealed their anti-miscegenation laws. In 1967, in Loving v. Virginia, the remaining anti-miscegenation laws were held to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. Similar laws were also enforced in Nazi Germany as part of the Nuremberg laws, and in South Africa as part of the system of Apartheid. In the United States, interracial marriage, cohabitation and sex have been termed "miscegenation" since the term was coined in 1863. Contemporary usage of the term is less frequent, except to refer to historical laws banning the practice.

    Actually he is a Mulatto. Neither white or black, but a mixture.
  • aneed2know gvc 2012/04/12 05:24:43

    then that would mean just about all black people are that, becauyse just about all black people have a mixture in them. You know those visits down to the slave houses by the white master and white over seers.

    Or are you going to deny that also.

    It's a smart move. She has a legal mind and is a tough prosecutor. I think that she realizes that a Grand Jury would wish to indict for murder and that murder in this case would be next to impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. If the Grand Jury failed to indict for lesser included charges then it is very possible that George Zimmerman would be convicted of nothing. My guess, and admittedly it is a guess, is that she intends to indict for manslaughter or possibly murder with a lesser included charge of manslaughter. But hey I'm not an attorney so my guess is only as good as any other Joe's.

    The fact is that she doesn't need a grand jury to arrest him. Everything that Zimmerman said doesn't at add up. If he was beaten so badly he would not have been in such good condition when he got the police station. He would have also been taken to the hospital. However, the Stand and Kill law in Flor-i-Duh is so poorly constructed he can merely claim that he felt threatened to get away with it.

    Before his lawyers quit, they were claiming that Georgie could be suffering from "Shaken Baby" syndrome. Really; that's the best they could come up with? Astounding legal minds at work there.

    http://www.baltimoresun.com/n...

    "SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - "Shaken Baby Syndrome" was cited on Friday in the defense of George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Florida, man who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, in a case that has sparked a widespread public outcry.

    Hal Uhrig, a lawyer and former Gainesville, Florida, police officer who recently joined Zimmerman's defense team, cited in a TV interview, 'We're familiar with the shaken baby syndrome.'"

    Soooooo, did Zimmerman look like a guy that was suffering from shaken coward....huh...I mean shaken baby syndrome? Not to me but I'm no doctor.

    I believe he will get arrest soon and taken off of the streets. Think about it this...

    I believe he will get arrest soon and taken off of the streets. Think about it this way, he won't have to worry about finding a job or paying for food and housing. I think it's a win win. An idiot murder is taken off of the streets and the idiot murder doesn't have to worry about the public coming after him. Of course, some inmates may not take to him so he'll probably be in solitary confinement for his own safety.

    I think its possible, based upon some of what I've heard and saw of him that that he may have a dual personality or something like that. In any event the Police department and DA's inactions is what brought this to this level of outrage in spite of the tradgedy that is is.
