this situation as much as possible BECAUSE once GZ is arrested, they'll probably be a few more heads rolling.

I hope it is a thorough enough job of putting together the evidence before they arrest Zimmerman because I don't want any technicalities getting him off the hook.

It sounds like the original State Attorney was in the police station that night. If so he could have made many of the same observations that most of us looking at the tape saw. If he wasn't, he had access to the tape.

The tape has been available to the new state attorney for 6 days...still no arrest warrant.

Hard to know what to think...except that something is seriously wrong.

This occurred to me tonight.

Wolfinger sent the case to the grand jury. Then he was forced to step aside and the new atty was appointed by the governor and the AG.

Maybe it's the new SA who is the fixer. She won't send it to the grand jury, she says. That indicates any charge won't be a capital offense.

so I have a hard time believing that is what is driving this.

That said, I really want to know how this got so FUBAR and who is responsible for it.

'good all boys' scratching each others backs. They could be in the same golf club, masonic lodge, career organization whatever. I was born and lived in the south and have had personal experience with how this relationship works. This has all of the earmarks.

You can't see any injuries or blood on Z in the video. And photos will be close-up to show your bloodshot eyes. So if there are any injuries then the photos will show it.
