[They're lynching white folk in Florida in the hope of staving off the impending race riots, inspired, aided and abetted by Al Sharpton, NBC News, media matters and the Obama 2012 re Election Campaign. Its sort of like continually feeding the crocodile in the hope that he eats you last. They're going to riot after Obama loses the election, anyway. If they riot now half of the country will empty out and head to Florida to get some shootin in. Come November, everyone will have a target rich environment, everywhere.
Suggestion has been made that Ms Corey is well aware that the charges against Mr Zimmerman will never stand up at trial so she's letting Mr Zimmerman know in a not so subtle way she will imprison every one that ever breathed in the same air space with him until he decides to cop a plea deal.
Salome was one of the first recorded acts of prostitution when she offered her favors in return for the head of John The Baptist, nest ce pas?]
"Florida prosecutor Angela Corey has come under withering criticism from Alan Dershowitz for overcharging and leaving out important details in the Affidavit of Probable Cause filed in connection with the charge of Second Degree Murder lodged against George Zimmerman.
Corey allegedly responded by threatening to sue Dershowitz and Harvard. This appears to be part of a pattern when she is criticized.
Now Corey has brought a charge of felony perjury against Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, based on testimony during George’s bond hearing with regard to their financial resources. (Criminal Information and Affidavit of Probable Cause embedded at bottom of post.)
There certainly is a case which can be made that the Court was not fully informed of the financial situation, and that is part of the reason the Judge revoked bond under the standards applicable to release pending trial.
But that bond standard is very different from a criminal charge of perjury, which requires proof of a specific material false statement which the person believes not to be true at the time of testimony.
So it is fair to ask, having charged perjury, what is the specific false statement made by Shellie Zimmerman?
The Criminal Information (embedded at the bottom of this post) does not say. Instead, the accompanying Affidvit recites testimony, phone call transcripts, and evidence of money received and transferred. Again, that all is relevant to whether George deceived the Court at the bond hearing.
But nowhere in the criminal Information or Affidavit of Probable Cause is a specific sentence or set of words identified as false with an explanation of why it was false.
I think there is a reason for this. Many of the answers of Shellie were non-committal. Since the prosecution does not specify which statements were false, here are some possibilities taken from the testimony quoted in the Affidavit of Probable Cause..
g the words which constituted empirical statements of fact that knowingly were false and why, the prosecution presents testimony and then evidence, and only generally and vaguely states that a false statement was made.
I am not excusing the conduct of the Zimmermans as to the bond hearing. I understand why the Judge feels he was deceived.
I am questioning the bringing of a felony perjury charge without greater specificity of the false statements, particularly while the alleged perjurer’s husband is awaiting trial in a highly publicized case.
Just more questions as to how this prosecution is being handled.
Update: Per a commenter, it appears that the above testimony was selectively edited by the prosecution to leave out the following exchange (deleted testimony in bold):"
