You and I would still be in Jail without bail if we shot and killed somebody.

The truth will be known.



Trayvon Martin Investigator Wanted Manslaughter Charge

http://abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-mar...ry?id=16011674


The lead homicide investigator in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin recommended that neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, multiple sources told ABC News.

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.


Police brought Zimmerman into the station for questioning for a few hours on the night of the shooting, said Zimmerman's attorney, despite his request for medical attention first.

Ultimately they had to accept Zimmerman's claim of self defense.
He was never charged with a crime.


Serino filed an affidavit on Feb. 26, the night that Martin was shot and killed by Zimmerman, that stated he was unconvinced Zimmerman's version of events.


Zimmerman, 28, claimed he shot Martin, 17, in self defense.



One complicating factor in the investigation was that the first detective to interview Zimmerman about the shooting was a narcotics officer rather than a homicide detective.

The State Attorney's office said only "no comment" when asked about the affidavit today.

State Attorney > Lead investigator.

Well there goes the idea that Zimmerman was just able to go home. It also shows that he wanted medical attention and was denied it.

You wanted new evidence. Looks like you got your wish.

Never said he resigned from his job.. . . . . ..

Can we get away from the habit of putting "BREAKING" or "EXCLUSIVE" in thread titles? They're a waste of space.

Not doing things in all-caps would be awesome, too (not a problem in this thread, just another peeve).

Then you might have wanted to go into more details when you said forced to resign. In most cases that would mean he.... Resigned......

i think that is the lawyer talking... setting it up to get any confession thrown out most likely, if he did request that, it very well could be imo

then again he was not arrested, so he was not charged at the time, not sure how the law works in those situations
