George Zimmerman Charged With Murder

George Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, special prosecutor Angela Corey announced at a press conference today at 6 PM.

Mediaite has more on the charges:

On Wednesday, Florida special prosecutorAngela Corey announced that 28-year-oldGeorge Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder. Zimmerman has been at the center of a media frenzy after shooting 17-year-old Miami teen Trayvon Martin in a Sanford, Florida neighborhood in late February, with Martin’s family, media figures, demonstrators, and myriad supporters publicly calling for his arrest. Zimmerman, she confirmed, is currently in custody.

Corey shared that the decision was not made “lightly,” nor was it influenced by “public pressure.” She later stressed the difficulty in reaching the “right” conclusion in difficult homicide investigations. “We will continue to seek the truth throughout this case,” she added.

CNN has also reporting that Zimmerman has a new lawyer today, Mark O’Mara. His former attorneys — Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig — withdrew as his legal counsel after they became unable to contact Zimmerman.

Fox News also sat down with Zimmerman’s old attorneys to talk over the strength of his case. Their interview is in two parts:

      Why am I not thinking this is going to turn out good. I just get the feeling that the special prosecutor pretty much is grandstanding and is looking to make a name for herself. I guess the media got what they wanted.

      If this was about justice, the SP would have taken her evidence to the grand jury. This is an old fashioned rail-roading. She is charging him with the most serious charge she can while not having to take evidence to a grand jury. It is clear to me that this is a political decision, not a law-enforcement decision.

      Great, now we have another case the media can use to play with 24/7, while real news, like the encroachment of our rights, ever expansion of the federal Government, and devaluation of our dollar can be hid under the rug. This will be another one of those Kardashan, Kobe, Simpson, Casey, ETC, things the MSM uses to entertain the masses. They can now distract the public as to what is really going on in this nation, and where we’re headed to e.g. off a cliff into a revolutionary Marxist’s utopia.

      If I were Zimmerman I would have fled the country! It does not matter if he is guilty or not, the “civil rights” groups demand a sacrifice or there will be blood in the streets. What‘s one man’s freedom for the greater good? Juries live in this town, they don’t want to have their homes burned or their families attacked. Don’t believe me, OJ Simpson! The same groups rallied and demanded he be released because one cop involved in the case used the N word. Doesn’t matter he had no aliby, or that his DNA was all over the crime scene. They threatened riots and the murder walked. This man is screwed!

      It seems quite clear to me that this Special Prosecutor did NOT go to a GRAND JURY because she KNEW, with the evidence, especially THE EYE WITNESS THAT SAID THEY SAW TRAYVVON SLAMMING ZIMMERMAN’S HEAD INTO THE GROUND, she would not get an indictment.

      So, TO APPEASE THESE MONSTERS FROM THE LEFT, THE EVIL LEADERS WHO, LIKE OBAMA, WILL TRY TO DIVIDE US SO THEY CAN CONQUER US, SHE OPTED FOR 2ND DEGREE MURDER.

      What does this tell you, people? I, too, want to see justice carried out, but I do not think it will be. THIS MAN HAS ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED BY THE LEFT PROGRESSIVES, NAACP, AND THE BLACK PANTHERS. HE WILL NOT GET A FAIR TRIAL. HOW WILL THEY FIND AN UNTAINTED JURY POOL NOW?????? WILL THEY HAVE TO GO OUT-OF-STATE?

      The politicos in Florida will throw Zimmerman under the bus. They are such wimps and are afraid of the hoopla that this trial will create. Even if Zimmerman were innocent they will sentence him anyway because they are afraid of losing in this election. I just hope that Tallahassee wakes up and starts pushing back. Zimmerman was found guilty by a racist lynch mob and our wormy politicians will do nothing to defend the rule of law. These folks that are inciting riots should be jailed and sentenced for obstruction and inciting violence at the very least. But, they will be given a free pass. If they were white they would be in jail by now.

      This is what I see. A lot of people believe that Zimmerman should not have been charged. I am one of them. Do I however see ANYONE standing up and getting out on the streets to defend him? NO. Everyone INCLUDING myself, is sitting at home, in their comfy chair and air conditioning with a bottle of beer or a glass of wine bitching here….. but we all choose to DO nothing. The racists are turning the tables on us and yes Zimmerman will be railroaded. What will we do. Nothing. Sad, so sad. God bless Zimmerman, hopefully his lawyer is a good one but even so the jury will be scared to let him go for fear of retribution on their families. We have become a sad nation. Where is OUR reverand to pull US togeather on the streets? Where are OUR leaders? Who will lead US against the racism?
      If there were someone to lead US it would probably mean blood will be spilled and nobody wants that so we just give in. When will we stop giving in and stand up for what is right and just and who will lead US?

      I would NOT put too much faith in the NRA. I came into possession of a gun (legally I might add) from a relative. As the gun when through the standard check for buying a gun, which ever government offices involved had that information. Viola! Less then 6 weeks later I’m getting invites to join the NRA. The problem was that only I and the police knew I had the gun. Since I did NOT contact the NRA, unless gun ownership is a public record, the police contacted the NRA.

      I have heard that the police agencies and the NRA share information. This appears to be one of those cases.

      I think this comes down to perception on both Trayvon and Zimmerman. When you hear more of the details Trayvon may have mistaken Zimmerman’s intentions. Think about it. You are a tough young black man. You have got in trouble at school three times in the last six months, ( theft, assault, and traces of possession) You are walking down the street sporting a gold grill and some tats. You are out of your territory ( he was staying at his dad‘s girlfriend’s house.) What gang lines are you crossing what colors are you flashing? Then a black Dodge truck starts to follow you. So you check it out. You find that a Hispanic man is following you and talking on the phone about you. Is he calling the rest of the street gang. It is time for fight or flight. So you run and hide behind a privacy fence. You only need to go another 100 yards to get back to the house but you do not want this guy that is following you to know where you live. When will the rest of the gang show up? after hiding for almost 4 minutes he finds you. You are trapped. You just need to take this guy down long enough to run away then circle back home. You get him down then it is all over.
      What happens during the four minutes between the two 911 calls is unknown. Yet Trayvon was found just 75 feet away from the spot that Zimmerman last saw him at the end of the Zimmerman 911 call. Who started the fight? Who was on top? I don’t know. I think Zimmerman stupidly cornered a scared though man.

      I’ve been thinking about Zimmerman/Martin and that 2nd degree murder charge is a stretch for that special prosecutor.

      1st is always premeditated and 2nd is usually associated with a felony crime, hold up a 7-11 and some one gets shot. No felony crime here even if Trayvon was beating the snot out of him.

      The fact that she didn’t want a grand jury tells me that they would not think it would stick like spaghetti on a wall and we have a race riot.

      So she goes with murder 2 that a jury of his peers will most likely acquit him on reasonable doubt and the race riot is postponed for at least a year.

      What I worry about is the bounty on Zimmermans head by the NBP’s and no one is looking at them for illegal activities.

      Once they bring Zimmerman back to Florida he needs to be in protective custody or his life isn‘t worth ’squat’.

      Not taking a stand here, but he‘ll be tried and he’ll get off. There were no witnesses to the confrontation. Zimmerman says feared for his life. Trayvon might say the same thing if were alive with this guy following him for no reason that he can understand. But he can’t. Because he’s dead. So he can’t contradict Zimmerman, and Zimmerman will get off.

      But I bet Zimmerman never follows anyone again pretending to be a hero. And if he does and they turn to confront him, I‘ll bet he doesn’t kill them. It wouldn’t look so great the second time around. That’s probably the best thing that can come out of this. Zimmerman doesn’t kill anyone else.

      Please allow me to make this simple. My cat, yes my cat, doesnt care if you are black or white. He doesnt care if you are Hispanic, Armenian, American, Jewish, Catholic, Muslim….. He doesnt care. What DOES HE CARE ABOUT? RESPECT HIM. When he has had enough stop. If you dont stop he will bite you. I personally think that there is something to be learned from that.
      If all of a sudden I turned Egyptian he wouldnt care. If all of a sudden I became Chinese… He truly wouldnt care. Why should he? And why should we? Truth? You want truth? RESPECT EVERYONE. Of course thats Marxism isnt it. I am NOT a Marxist. Yea ok I am a dreamer. True Marxism would be great. Seriously it would be. HOWEVER THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY THAT TRUE MARXISM IS POSSIBLE. NONE. Oh it starts out as being good but then Marxism morphs into Communism in reality and those Americans that believe that either Marxism or Communism is better than Capitolism are fools to their own selves. Just because they are to unintelligent to become financially self sufficient doesnt mean that others should have a right to the money they have EARNED. I believe in a FLAT TAX, but will that stop the debt? HELL NO. The problem with the debt stems from those that couldnt care less about the public and instead they care about the money that they get paid. They would and are seperating us into different groups in order to cause us to fight to thin the population. Oh and 8 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD???????

      As for anyone facing criminal charges, I hope he gets his fair day in the court of law and that once the facts are laid out that both sides can accept the outcome. Thats the problem now! What will be the outcome? The other side of this is that this case is SOOOO politicized all the way up to the WH/DOJ/CONGRESS that the pressure to just convict this man NO MATTER what permeates this situation. I have a hunch and I could be wrong, but I think I’m a good judge of character and after hearing more about Mr. Z and his stance on trying to support his community in some small way by being a watch captain, mentoring and teaching minority children, having no prior criminal record that we know of, having been what appears to be the one who was assaulted, all this against the back drop of the race baiting we have seen from the highest offices in the land down to the NBP/KKK mentality.

      Oh, that’s not so bad in the grand scheme of Life. Look at God. He has Children and none of them carry His Name. You are a Son of God yet, you carry another name. You can Love God without having His name, just like your Child can Love you without having your name.

The fact is she knows at the end of the day the jury will decide it and if the evidence isnt there, then its just not there. If it is self defense, than that is what it is and if that is what a jury decides, then all of those making the stink will have to accept the jury…that simple.

There is no way that he deserves to spend life in prison. What happens when the jury finds him not guilty of murder and is let out? Unless Jesse, Al, Spike and every other black is on the jury, he will not be found guilty of this charge. Then what we just prolong the black panthers and other radical blacks rioting in the streets when he is set free? This guy has been set up as a patsy and either way his life is over and it is sad.

The black man was released and not charged. He claimed self-defense. The black male claimed the subject had a pipe or bat. No such weapon found at the scene.

    In his final message to the State Legislature, he said that “death would be preferable to reunion” on April 1, 1865 he committed suicide.

      Yes in today’s America I am a foreigner, but your missing the big picture.
      Back before 1865 us white males controlled America, in South America us white males controlled Brasil, we lost Angola in the1960′s,South Africa in the 1990, and so on, we basically had the world.

      My point is, if you look at the countries I wrote about and it’s a short list of many countries, the crime is worse for us than what it was before we lost control, look at black on white crime in South Africa today, Zimbubwe it‘s worse than in the America’s, in Zimbubwe they kill the white farmer take the farm then don’t know or want to farm, result – famine. Then each year the white man has to feed them. Black‘s can’t manage a rock fight, and here we are giving then control, we as a race are doomed !

      Still don’t believe me, let me take you to Sao Paulo, Brasil for a few days or lets walk around South Africa late at night, after we got back you would kiss the ground of that lily white town you live in.

      Enjoy this video, parts of it is funny, it show’s South Africa before and after, we lost control

    I watched the news conference and I can’t say that I am susprised at the charge of 2nd murder. Alright now let the trial answer all of our questions about this case. At least answer questions for those of us who had not declared Zimmerman guilty of cold blooded, racist inspired murder.

    I hope he can get a fair trial but I will admit I will always wonder if he would have been charged at all if the media pimps, the race pimps, the hate filled NBPP and the President had not gotten involved.

      @Polarized, jury selection is the most insane and messed up part of our entire insane and messed up criminal system. That’s a funny place to look for hope.

      Let’s face it — this case has gone way beyond the truth already. Nobody that thinks Zimmerman is guilty is going to be convinced and nobody that thinks he’s innocent is going to be convinced no matter what comes out at trial. There is no chance of getting a fair trial and the worst part is there never was. No matter what side you’re on, you have to admit this as a lost cause, and the jury’s verdict might as well be decided by a roulette wheel as a court case.

      So the question is where do we go from here? This situation has revealed the depths of the divides between us. How are we going to heal, grow, and love our neighbors as ourselves? The only way to salvage this trial from the cesspool of history is a concerted, common effort to become better Americans together.

It sounds like this is also what happened to George Zimmerman, but we will not know that just yet. Right now, I fear that the prosecutor is practicing APPEASEMENT, but the truth will eventually come out. Being part of a neighborhood watch is not being a vigilante. Defending oneself is not being a vigilante…..Convicting Zimmerman before a trial and a thorough review of the facts….THAT IS VIGILANTISM.

      Since 1972, the USAonWatch-Neighborhood Watch Program (housed within the National Sheriffs’ Association) has worked to unite law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens in a nation-wide effort to reduce crime and improve local communities. The success of the program has established Neighborhood Watch as the nation’s premier crime prevention and community mobilization program. Visible signs of the program are seen throughout American on street signs, window decals, community block parties and service projects.

    The obvious questions I need to ask are these:

    Are these charges being done due to the evidence or due to the ambitions of a local DA? How much of it is due to pressure from the DOJ and Mr Obama? How much due to the potential threat of a race war starting in the area? How much from simple threats being made to the DA office each and every day with the blessings of Holder and Obama?

    Zimmerman will never be able to receive a fair and impartial trial, due to the fact of the massive amount of publicity involved already; and the ongoing threats posed by the extremists, it is even a fair chance he will never leave jail alive due to the NBPP bounty on his head – an open contract for the commiting of a murder.

      She didn’t need “public pressure” to make decision, her mind was already made up , therefore why do you need a grand jury. Jeez doesnt everyone watch CNN ? Everyone knows Zimmerman is just a Racist “ white Jew hispanic” Do I need to and the sarc tag

      Did anyone notice the custom graphics in the protest signs published in the article? WHO IS PAYING FOR THE PROPAGANDA SIGNAGE?
      This looks like Zim is innocent by self defense but I fear he will get the kangaroo treatment in court just to appease who?

      If you think injustice will bring peace, good for you! When a man is railroaded, is that all you have to say? His life is over.

      Just leave it up to the courts to decide. No one has all the facts of the case, so let the jury sort it out and figure out what will happen to Zimmerman. I’m not putting the blame on anyone. I just want the facts of the case to be revealed.

      This will keep the monkeys at bay and when George is found not guilty of all charges, then the authorities will have the right to shoot and kill the rioters. Nice move by the prosecutors!

      This may be one of my last posts.. to answer a couple of replies:

      In the left biased part of the country I lived in back in 08, 09, everyone I knew was terrified that if Obumjob did not get elected there would be a race war.. So they all (not me for God’s sake) voted for the Obumjob, out of fear.. yeah all white people with no brains, no spine, and a good life style, very good (left coast, get it?).. So they are getting what they wanted.. they knew damn well what Obumjob was, they simply chose to not say a word because their ‘peers’ and ‘family’ would crap on them if they said one thing about Obumjob.. I have not been able to speak freely for years.. and my friend count is getting real small, if I could call these spineless left coast people ‘friends’.

      For the 4.5 years, that’s what remains of this term plus the next.. OK so technically it’s approx 0.75 years remaining, about 270 days give or take.

      By that time life in this country will be a living hell for many, and some kind of Utopia for the brainless.

      Please back up your statement (that’s what you wanted) with FACTS, truthful facts, please. Otherwise, you are not better than the lefties.

      TRUE American Patriots, OF ANY COLOR OR RACE, will tell the truth and will LIVE THE TRUTH.
