CBS) SANFORD, Fla. - The lead investigator probing the deadly shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin wanted neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman arrested and charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, ABC News reports.

Investigator Chris Serino of the Sanford, Fla. Police Department wanted the 28-year-old Zimmerman behind bars, but the state Attorney's Office said there was not enough evidence to lead to a conviction, sources told ABC.

The New York Daily News reports Serino was uncertain of Zimmerman's account of how the Feb. 26 incident with Martin played out.

Police brought Zimmerman into the station for questioning for a few hours on the night of the shooting, said Zimmerman's attorney, even though he had requested medical attention first.

The police report noted Zimmerman was "bleeding from the nose and the back of the head."

CBS News reports that the next day, detectives re-enacted the shooting with Zimmerman at the scene. They also discovered Zimmerman had two prior arrests: one for assaulting a cop, the other for domestic abuse.

For the next two weeks, lead investigator Serino pursued a manslaughter charge against Zimmerman.

It's clear there's a lot more here--than meets the eye. Obviously--the lead investigator at the scene did not believe Zimmerman's story of the account. But the audacity that Zimmerman is still walking free--after BREAKING the Stand your ground law--which does not include pursuit--which he was directly told by the police dispatcher not to do--is enough to arrest and charge him with reckless manslaughter.

I do not believe this was a racial hit. I believe that anyone wearing a hoodie (white--asian--latino) would have met the same fate that night with Zimmerman on patrol. Here was an hispanic man--a wanna-be--cop--who had called police 47 times within the last few months--who has a record of assaulting a police officer and another charge of domestic abuse--who was looking to be a hero that night. Martin was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
