1. Maybe Daddy Judge Zimmerman called in a few chips with the cops

Georgie boy seems to have a history of doing nasty shit and just walking away without even getting his hand slapped. Domestic violence, assault on a police officer, all closed cases with no prosecution. Something is really rotten in Sanford and it goes far beyond the murder of Trayvon Martin.

9. Seems like I heard he was a magistrate in Orange County

which is right next door to Seminole.

But I don't even know anymore, I've heard so much crap about this case. Think I'll just sit back and let the wheels of justice grind away. There's always time for outrage if and when the thing still smells like a cover up.

But yeah, lots of missing information, incomplete information, not to mention MISinformation and DISinformation.

Not sure what kind of corruption, but it must be pretty bad.

3. Its being reported now that the lead detective, a homicide

detective didn't buy Zimmermans story and wanted to arrest him. He was overruled by the state's attorney.

I was wondering why the reports indicated Zimmermans statement wa taken by a Narcotics detective rather than a homicide detective. Now we know why.

6. I'm wondering if Zimmerman either is

an informant - officially or otherwise; or if the cover up is as you say corruption, & the protection of Zimmerman may be because he has knowledge about it or is in on it.

But, I'm with you, it must be pretty bad.

4. Yes. Nobody seems to really be saying that in an outright way. It's a coverup.

You cannot fuck up an investigation THAT badly, except on purpose.

8. Exactly. Cops are trained to seize and preserve evidence

and the crime scene. It would be unnatural NOT to do so. Only one reason to act that way. Cover up.

The heat is so hot that the lead detective was not going to take the hit so he passed if off to the states attorney. Now we see clearly the influence of daddy.

I think some witnesses got paid too. What kind of guy watches a fight to the point where he can see who's on top and who did the screaming, but didn't see the shooting? It makes no sense. What he do? Just keep going?

Not sure if Zimmerman is a racist, is intellectually challenged, is whatever.

The Cops on the other hand seem to be corrupt.

14. Considering that he reportedly called the cops on a "suspicious" black male age "7 to 8"...

I'm going to go with "racist" until further notice.

But from limited knowledge, I get the feeling that he is very, very ignorant.
