The most they could charge him with is voluntary manslaughter. Good luck with a conviction on that one.

If they had arrested Zimmerman, even on manslaughter, even upon unlawful discharge of a weapon, then at least all the witnessess, the cops, the tapes of the 911 calls, etc. could have a court-ordered slap of silence on it. They could have released Zimmerman on his own recognizance, not bail, depending upon what the judge that night chose, and the prosecutor could always drop charges and choose not to prosecute after an investigation.

The horror is that the family had to go to their congresswoman to get any investigation whatsoever of this at all in the first place, weeks after it happened.

A kid is dead in public, at the confessed hand of another citizen, with that phone call to the police, and zero investigation more than the cops at the scene that night? That's crazy.

And it turns out some cops at the scene wanted him charged.

Zimmerman's camp has to be thrilled it's playing out this way in the media, as it's contaminating jury member after jury member, even if moved to other venues in Florida.
