Who called State Attorney Wolfinger on the night of the murder?

[grasswire]

The State Attorney was at the police station when George Zimmerman was taken in for questioning.

Law enforcement experts have said that is extremely unusual for a high-level official to be present in the station after a local murder on a Sunday evening.

They say it is even unusual for the chief of police to go to the murder scene on a Sunday evening, which he did.

When was Robert Zimmerman notified of his son being "escorted" to the police station? Who telephoned State Attorney Wolfinger, and when?

1. Too me that is something my cousin a judge would know to do. Now George's father was a magistrate

same different as a judge to me.

8. in Virginia a magistrate is the bottom rung on the judicial ladder

Until a few years ago you didn't even have to be a college graduate, let alone a law school graduate, to become a magistrate. The pay was mediocre as well.

That said, there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on Zimmerman's father avaiable on line. On the one hand, that may suggest he wasn't a particularly powerful or influential person. On the other hand, it also means we just don't know that much about him and his background.

2. Maybe George Zimmerman's phone records should also be examined?

You are right about that, that connected people know who to call when they get in trouble.

Years ago a City Manager got into an accident on 417 and called his police chief and asked him to handle the case. The police chief was one of the few ethical people I ever came across in this City. He declined. I don't think that usually happens around here.

3. Blackmail. And what kind of blackmail has the SA and Police Chief risking accessory to murder?

Curious minds want to know.

My guess? Massive corruption with the SA and Poilice Chief acting as paymasters. But it's just a guess.

4. OTOH, maybe the new SA is the fixer

Wolfinger was going to send the case to the grand jury. Then he was replaced by the governor and the AG.

The new State Attorney announced no need for a grand jury. That means (according to legal experts) she does not intend to seek a capital case against Zimmerman. Only a grand jury can recommend a capital case.

So maybe the new State Attorney is the fixer and Wolfinger was honest.

We don't know the grounds on which Wolfinger was removed from the case. That's something the investigative journos need to go after.

Because it may point to massive corruption going all the way to governor.

5. Wolfinger is the SA who, in essence, told the lead investigator not to press charges...

the new SA had nothing to do with that at all. Wolfinger recused himself once the Governor called for an investigation.



"But Sanford, Fla., Investigator Chris Serino was instructed to not press charges against Zimmerman because the state attorney's office headed by Norman Wolfinger determined there wasn't enough evidence to lead to a conviction, the sources told ABC News."

6. No, Wolfinger didnt annouce the grand jury until public pressure to prosecute the murder, IIRC.

He probably figured he could whitewash the events at that point. The appointed proseciter, DOJ, and FBI involvement kind of put the kibosh on that idea. I sispect the SA and police cheif are gonna have a lot of splaining to do.

7. I can see it being unusual for a State Attorney to be at a crime scene, but

I would expect a small town or city chief of police to be there unless they get a lot of shooting with death.
