George Zimmerman

Since the original prosecutor was fired (and Zimmerman has now called the new one directly) he's lost his original legal representation.

The Grand Jury was a gimmick the orig prosecutor was going to use to delay/derail the process, which now looks to be proceeding quite normally.

You're beginning to sound desperate over nothing. He'll be arrested before the month is out :bigass:
 
You mean the month of April, 2012?

He'll be arrested in the next three weeks.

The 10th will certainly tell the tale.

I said three weeks.

The 10th will tell the tale

The 10th can't come soon enough...

I give you props for the 10th of April because you know....thats when shit hits the fan

He'll be arrested in less than three weeks. Will be the best "I told you so" ever

This is a done deal. Y'all will just have to catch up later.
 
How interesting, I haven't completely owned you in ages. In fact except for this thread I've largely lost interest in the board.

Yet here you are, opening wide. It's so sweet

Thanks. Be seeing you around from time to time. Glad you finally found a place for yourself.
 
Told you so :bigass:

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — After weeks of mounting tension and protests across the U.S., a special prosecutor has decided to bring charges against neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a law enforcement official said Wednesday.

The official, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said prosecutor Angela Corey would announce the charges at a 6 p.m. news conference. The official said he did not know the charges. Corey confirmed only that she would make an announcement at that time.

The Martin family and their attorney, Ben Crump, renewed their pleas for calm as the hour approached.

"We don't need anybody taking these matters into their own hands," Crump said.

The law enforcement official said that authorities knew where Zimmerman was and were planning to arrest him soon rather than let him turn himself in. The official said he was not in Florida.

Zimmerman's shooting of the unarmed black teenager Feb. 26 brought demands from black leaders for his arrest and set off a furious nationwide debate over race and self-defense that reached all the way to the White House.

The 28-year-old Zimmerman, whose father is white and whose mother is Hispanic, said the teenager attacked him. Martin's family argued Zimmerman was the aggressor.

On Tuesday, Zimmerman's lawyers announced they were withdrawing from the case because they hadn't heard from him since Sunday and didn't know where he was. They portrayed his mental state as fragile.

"He is largely alone. You might even say he is emotionally crippled by virtue of the pressure of this case," said one of the lawyers, Hal Uhrig.
The case has drawn the interest of the highest levels of the Obama administration, with the Justice Department's civil rights division opening its own investigation.

Zimmerman's arrest was delayed partly because of Florida's "stand your ground" law, which gives people wide leeway to use deadly force without having to retreat in the face of danger. Florida is among 21 states with such a law.

Tensions have risen in recent days in Sanford. Someone shot up an unoccupied police car Tuesday as it sat outside the neighborhood where Martin was killed. And a demonstration by college students closed the town's police station Monday.

Six weeks ago, Martin was returning to the home of his father's fiancee from a convenience store when Zimmerman started following him. Zimmerman told police dispatchers he looked suspicious. At some point, the two got into a fight and Zimmerman used his gun.
Zimmerman told police Martin attacked him after he had given up chasing the teenager and was returning to his truck. He told detectives that Martin knocked him to the ground and began slamming his head on the sidewalk. Zimmerman's father said that Martin threatened to kill his son and that Zimmerman suffered a broken nose.

A video taken about 40 minutes after the shooting as Zimmerman arrived at the Sanford police station showed him walking unassisted without difficulty. There were no plainly visible bandages or blood on his clothing, but Zimmerman may have had a small wound on the back of his head.

The shooting ignited resentment toward the police department, and Police Chief Bill Lee temporarily stepped down to let passions cool.
Civil rights groups and others have held rallies around the country, saying the shooting was unjustified. Many of the protesters wore the same type of hooded sweatshirt that Martin had on that day, suggesting his appearance and race had something to do with his killing.
President Barack Obama injected himself into the debate, urging Americans to "do some soul-searching." ''If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said March 23.

The local prosecutor disqualified himself from the case, and Gov. Rick Scott appointed Corey, the prosecutor for Jacksonville, to take it over.

Probably better wait till 6.
 
your fingernails are leaving deep trails in the ledge your hanging on.

My nickel? Manslaughter...won't be second degree murder, they won't be able to prove that.
 
15 years w/o a gun, 30 with. That's justice.

He's supposedly not even in Florida, which will complicate things for him dramatically if he's charged and out of state.
 
No Gear, I told you it would go this way :bigass: btw it wasn't a "surrender" the arrest warrant was issued by a judge this morning :D
 
Now all you have to do is go find where I said he wouldn't be arrested and your victory will be complete.

Oh, almost forgot -

:bigass:

And hey - Congrats on your big win! You did, in fact, tell me so.
 
He'll be arrested in less than three weeks. Will be the best "I told you so" ever

:smfgrin:

Yes, it has been less than 3 weeks since this post on 3/30, hasn't it? And, he's been arrested for second degree murder, at that, without the need for a Grand Jury once the original cronies were ousted from the investigation.

And, the 10th was still quite a telling day at that. What with Zimmerman's (previous) attorneys basically telling the world he's unstable and acting irrationally.

He may end up being acquitted - we don't know the evidence. But, it says a lot to me that Corey chose to file second degree charges rather than manslaughter.

Ah well, rational thinkers with common sense saw the arrest coming.
