What's 'special' about the special prosecutor in this case?
"Infamous" might be a better word than "special" to describe the special prosecutor in the Zimmerman case.
"she is a corrupt, politically motivated person….she should be removed from office, she should be charged with unprofessional conduct, she should be disciplined by the Bar and disciplined by the Court for withholding exculpatory evidence, for overcharging, for raising expectations and for acting in a thoroughly unprofessional manner….” —Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law Professor
Not only was it a case without enough probable cause to support a prosecution, but the facts clearly supported self-defense from the get-go. George Zimmerman was wrongly placed in jeopardy and 'overcharged' with Murder 2 anyway, in a bogus attempt to elicit a plea-bargain to a lesser charge — tactics that are shoddy at best.
Zimmerman did not play the prosecution's game!
Did Angela Corey et. al really think that their scheme would escape scrutiny? They just didn't care, and when Zimmerman didn't take the bait, there was no turning back. The prosecution came away looking like fools. A form of justice, I guess. But, if you value an honest justice system, this fiasco was painful to watch.
