Angela Corey: Unlawful Unethical Unprofessional

Post by _bcspace »

A medical report by George Zimmerman’s doctor has disclosed that Zimmerman had a fractured nose, two black eyes, two lacerations on the back of his head and a back injury on the day after the fatal shooting. If this evidence turns out to be valid, the prosecutor will have no choice but to drop the second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman — if she wants to act ethically, lawfully and professionally.

There is, of course, no assurance that the special prosecutor handling the case, State Attorney Angela Corey, will do the right thing. Because until now, her actions have been anything but ethical, lawful and professional.

She was aware when she submitted an affidavit that it did not contain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She deliberately withheld evidence that supported Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense. The New York Times has reported that the police had “a full face picture” of Zimmerman, before paramedics treated him, that showed “a bloodied nose.” The prosecutor also had photographic evidence of bruises to the back of his head.

But none of this was included in any affidavit.

Now there is much more extensive medical evidence that would tend to support Zimmerman’s version of events. This version, if true, would establish self-defense even if Zimmerman had improperly followed, harassed and provoked Martin.

A defendant, under Florida law, loses his “stand your ground” defense if he provoked the encounter — but he retains traditional self-defense if he reasonably believed his life was in danger and his only recourse was to employ deadly force.

Thus, if Zimmerman verbally provoked Martin, but Martin then got on top of Zimmerman and banged his head into the ground, broke his nose, bloodied his eyes and persisted in attacking Zimmerman — and if Zimmerman couldn’t protect himself from further attack except by shooting Martin — he would have the right to do that. (The prosecution has already admitted that it has no evidence that Zimmerman started the actual fight.)

Yes, I do agree that the Prosecutor in this case over-charged George Zimmerman with second-degree murder. I am at least 99% sure that George Zimmerman will Never get convicted of a second-degree murder crime. However, I do believe that it was manslaughter, but I am not that sure that George Zimmerman will ever get convicted of that crime.

Zimmerman has become a cause célèbre for conservatives. The question remains as to what to do with the death of this boy by the provocateur who was specifically told by the police to back off.

Even if the boy fought back after being stalked by an out of control lone vigilante and was eventually shot by that same stalking vigilante, the stalking vigilante still was at fault and should be brought to some justice.

What do you mean, Moksha? The prosecution has already admitted that there is no evidence of any "provocation" which you would have noticed had you read Dershowitz's piece).

What is your source of information on the incident, Moksha? Not one of Scratch's well "informants" I hope.

The time is rapidly approaching when no one - no one - associating themselves with the Left and its beliefs, in any form, will be able to dodge the stigma of moral and intellectual bankruptcy.
