Prosecutor set to release Zimmerman evidence at 10 a.m.
At 10 a.m. today, Special Prosecutor Angela Corey plans to release another round of evidence in her second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman, including a first look at what FBI agents have turned up in their civil rights investigation.
Nearly a dozen FBI agents interviewed several Sanford police officers, including the case's lead investigator, Chris Serino. They also talked to Zimmerman's former girlfriend — who accused him in court paperwork of being violent — his neighbor Frank Taffee; several unidentified civilian witnesses and employees at the gun store where Zimmerman bought the firearm he used to shoot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Summaries of those interviews will be in the new evidence, but there'll be no official finding by the FBI or the agency overseeing the federal investigation, the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The DOJ began its probe after protesters held rallies around the country and national civil rights leaders — including the president of the NAACP, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and several members of Congress — accused Sanford police of doing a shoddy, racially-biased investigation and refusing to arrest Zimmerman.
