Norm Wolfinger responds--State Attorney for Seminole County.

Personal Note: Look Mr. Wolfinger, there was a lot you passed up over the years that took away our peace of mind. The area is now diversified and the education level is higher than it was twenty years ago. It's time for someone else to step in. The good ole boy club has got to go.

Trayvon Martin: State attorney’s fury tops news

A state attorney’s fury drove coverage of the Trayvon Martin case Monday evening.

Seminole State Attorney Norm Wolfinger fiercely denied that he had interceded in the case that has gripped the country.

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Martin family, alleged in a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice that Wolfinger and Sheriff Bill Lee met and decided against arresting George Zimmerman in the teen’s death. Neighborhood Watch volunteer Zimmerman has said he shot the teen in self-defense.

In his statement, Wolfinger said he was “outraged by the outright lies contained in the letter by Benjamin Crump.” Wolfinger said no such meeting with Lee occurred and encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate.

be outraged that they asked. Why did Mr. Wolfinger recuse himself for a conflict of interest while not revealing what that conflict was? Of all the things that have been reported about Wolfinger, it seems he is "outraged" only about the contention from the Martin family that there was a meeting between him and the Chief of Police, interesting.

It's in the hands of the special prosecutor now, and her investigation is not yet completed.

Mostly, those of us who have been victimized by his lack of attention are beyond giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Do you have any idea how many politically powerful attorneys owe him for not looking into their professional misconduct and that of their clients? The entire government system in the nineties was based on fraud and conspiracy.

Another twenty five percent is ignored. Another twenty percent is Shipping News. Maybe 1 percent is inspired.
