Angela Corey was appointed by Florida Governor Rick Scott, to investigate the case TS. She has a reputation for being fair, but very hard core. She would not likely be the choice of the black community to prosecute, as the last controversial case she prosecuted, she sent a black to prison, on matters of Stand Of Your Ground. (

Right up to the point that she brought the Murder 2 charge against Zimmerman, then it quieted down! Whether that charge was brought to appease the black community, with an underlying intent of purposely overcharging the case seeking acquital or plea bargain to a lessor charge, I honestly don't know. As most attorney's are egotistically driven, and prefer to have a clean track record of wins, especially attorneys like Angela Corey, I don't think she would do that seeking acquital or mis-trial. If anything, I would believe she overcharged him hoping for plea or conviction to the lessor charge of Manslaughter. Proving Zimmerman's intent, as she would have to for the Murder 2 charge would be impossible in this case. There is simply too much history in George Zimmerman's background to prove the shooting was racially motivated. It wasn't.
Was Trayvon Martin profiled? Not beyond the fact that Trayvon Martin fit the profile of known suspects in previous burglary cases in the neighborhood. There wasn't any clearly defined malicious intent. Zimmerman has blacks in his own family, he's sponsored black children, he's mentored black children, he has black friends, he's helped blacks in the neighborhood, he's offered his help to other blacks in teh neighboorhood, all of this has been documented. There is NO race card to play here. And, that is where she's going to lose her Murder 2 conviction. And, Zimmerman was not willfully "uncaring of other's well being", which she would also have to prove.
I do know the charge defused the racial tensions drastically, and I know that if they seat at least a few blacks on the jury, and wind up with a hung jury or an acquital, it will go a long way to toward resolving the issue of race riots and burning down half the state of Florida, IF JJ and Al and Corrine Brown and whoever the [beeep] else thinks they are leaders in the black community, will have the balls to step forward and say, "OK... We had our day in court, and although it is maybe not the verdict we hoped for, the evidence has been presented, and justice has been served." Unfortunately, I don't see any of them, or Holder or Obama having the balls to stand before the black community and say that. They will instead scream racism, and shout from the roof tops about how unfairly they were treated, and do everything in their power to cause the black community to conduct themselves as the uncivilized third world inhabitants they typically are in these matters.
