quote: ORIGINAL: Raiikun And the lead investigator's thoughts were that the evidence did not exist to disprove the self defense claim, which is why they did not arrest. As I remember, that's incorrect. The lead investigator wanted to arrest him that night and the Assistant DA called the police department that night and told him not to. That's the main question I have. Did Zim's retired judge daddy call the DA and ask for a favor? Why else would someone who hasn't even visited the scene ot looked at the evidence call the detective and tell him not to charge Zim?

That investigator admitted to the FBI that he did not feel there was evidence to press charges but was pressured by three officers to make an arrest. And George's father wasn't a retired judge; he was a retired magistrate from Virginia with no pull in Florida.

quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Zimmerman should have been arrested that night, turned in his gun, been processed and then allowed bail. Thats typically what happens with most people who kill someone and the actions are questionable. The problem is that the police, except for the detective who had a grudge against Zimmerman for defending homeless people against the police didn't see enough evidence for an aresst let alone a conviction. The evidence hasn't changed. There is still nothing to reject self defense, question perhaps but refute no. And yet, when the state stepped in, he finally (about a month after the fact!) was charged (with 2nd degree murder), arrested and bail was set. And then set again, when they found out Zimmerman and his wife deceived the court. The defense wanted a new judge because that judge called it as it was and they got a new judge. This new judge is a hard ass too, so I think that alone is well served. Trayvon Martin wasn't homeless. That reason plays into nothing here. It took the family speaking out about the injustice before any media got involved.

THERE WAS A CORPSE... now call me an old stick in the mud, but the presence of a fucking dead person, and someone who admits to having caused the dead person's demise, is as sure as fuck grounds to arrest them. Fuck me.

Got a quote? Also back to this: quote: The lead investigator wanted to arrest him that night and the Assistant DA called the police department that night and told him not to. It's of note that when the capias for manslaughter was filed (March 13, not the night of the shooting), the SPD still didn't feel there was sufficient evidence for an arrest, and made a statement that the reason for the capias was so prosecutors would take over and continue the investigation.

Fuck me. Except under the law, Probable Cause is still needed that it was an unjustified killing before an arrest is made.

We shall see, Raiikun. We shall see. You vehemently defending GZ and others (including me) thinking Trayvon was murdered needlessly, will all see, in time. And all these posts about it will have been for nothing, too!

quote: ORIGINAL: Raiikun And when George is acquitted, it will have cost the State hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing. So... you don't reckon there should be a trial? You don't think there should be an examination of the evidence? Do you think everyone should just "take a guy's word for it"? Can you see the potential problems that "take a guy's word for it" approach might cause... c'mon! Work with me.... If George, who - and you have to concede this - has all the markings of a nut-job-homicidal-maniac - gets acquitted (and I'm afraid I think he will be) it will be after his justification is tested. If he's found guilty, it will be because his justification failed the test. But for fuck's sake... in any event, it has to be tested.

And George's father wasn't a retired judge; he was a retired magistrate from Virginia with no pull in Florida. 1. A Commonwealth magistrate has many of the powers generally reserved for judges. http://www.bvso.net/Documents/The%20Office%20of%20The%20Virginia%20Magistrate.pdf 2. If you think a retired magistrate, judge or LEO from one state has no ability to (make a phone call and see if I cant 'talk to someone' wherever they might they settle) you are incredibly naive. 3. Here is the evidence that the DA requested that Zim not be arrested. http://www.newser.com/story/142833/lead-cop-wanted-zimmerman-arrested.html As for cops pressuring another cop to go ahead and make an arrest, isn't that what cops do? At least they were in the building looking at the guy instead of a DA that made a phone call near midnight for some reason. My question is "What motivated a DA to make a phone call near midnight to instruct a police officer not to make an arrest?".

Looking at what evidence actually does exist shows Serino questioning George that night until midnight-ish, then again the next day, then again the day after, and later telling the media and the FBI that he didn't feel evidence existed to make an arrest.

quote: And looking at the evidence now, it really isn't hard to see why they didn't feel there was probable cause. Why do you disagree with the Judge who signed off on it? The Judge explicitly believed that the evidence supported the charge, otherwise he wouldn't have permitted it. So, I'm very curious as to what you know which the Judge doesn't?

quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle quote: ORIGINAL: vincentML Some here make the most impassioned accusations with flimsy evidence. Sorta like we'll hang him and then have a trial to prove him guilty. Can you please provide a detailed list of EVERYONE who suggested we hang Zimmerman and then have a trial, because as I've witnessed, EVERYONE HAS DEMANDED A TRIAL TO SORT OUT ZIMMERMAN'S CONFLICTING CLAIMS. The only person I see suggesting otherwise is you, and I wonder what your motivation is. You wonder what my motivation is? Oh my, that is a bit of an ad hoc jab isn't it? Feeling a little defensive are you? All those threads you started on this topic. And aren't you twisting my words a bit here? Yes, you are. I said some here make the most impassioned accusations. I drew an analogy to the hang em first, try em later mentality. If the analogy is too abstruse for you I nevertheless stand by it. All the nattering nit-picking with respect to this event is unseemly imo.

If George said that it can easily be the same as saying the incident was an unintentional act of fate. Nothing nut-jobbie about that.

You're tapdancing around the question. "Why would the DA call near midnight and interfere with an investigation?"

Oh, if he had said the 'same as' which it isn't and he didn't, that would be a reasonable statement, if he said the other, he is needing serious headpipe wrenching maintenance.

It's the overwhelming evidence that backs up a self defense claim, and the utter lack of any evidence to refute it that has me believing there shouldn't have been an arrest.
