Is The Fix In?



The News I got yesterday afternoon was not encouraging at all and I silently wonder if the real cover up in this already disturbing case is just beginning.
Some of my friends have been telling me that this doesn't mean anything..That it's not over yet..but I hate to say it...I've seen this all before..  As the gamblers say.."The Fix may already be in.

State Attorney Angela Corey, appointed as a special prosecutor in the February shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has decided against sending the case to a grand jury, her office said Monday.


"The decision should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case," Corey's office said in a statement.

The grand jury, set to convene on Tuesday, was previously scheduled by the former prosecutor. Angela Corey previously said she has not used grand jury's in cases like this and added that from the time she was appointed she said she may not need a grand jury.

The decision about whether or not to charge George Zimmerman in the case now rests with prosecutors.

"At this time, the investigation continues and there will be no further comment from this office," in the statement.

The decision means that the timetable for any possible charges remains up in the air.

"We had hoped she had enough evidence without the need to convene a grand jury,” Ben Crump, the attorney for the Martin family said about Corey. “The family is trying to have patience and faith through all of this."


Attorney Crump said they are hoping for charges and an arrest as soon as possible.

"We know we want that day to come,” Crump said. “We want a very public trial so the evidence can come out and show people that the justice system works for everybody."

Crump added that he believed the evidence that has come out has “made it clear” that charges should be filed, without the need of a grand jury.

George Zimmerman's new attorney, Hal Uhrig, told CNN that he was "not surprised" by the announcement. (Bet he wasn't!)

Hal Uhrig said he doesn't know what her ultimate decision will be but that the move to go without a grand jury is a "courageous move on her part."

Trayvon Martin ventured out from his father's fiancee's home in Sanford to get a snack at a nearby convenience store. As he walked home with a bag of Skittles and an Arizona iced tea, he was shot and killed by  George Zimmerman. Sanford police questioned Zimmerman and released him without charges.

From there, the case has evolved into opposing allegations from Zimmerman's supporters, Martin's family and authorities. George Zimmerman says he killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense after the teen punched him and slammed his head on the sidewalk, according to an Orlando Sentinel report that was later confirmed by Sanford police.

The case has triggered a nationwide debate about Florida's "stand your ground" law - which allows people to use deadly force anywhere they feel a reasonable threat of death or serious injury - and race in America.

As you can see by my numerous posts... I've been keeping my eye on this case...We'll see if the fix is already in.

Could cynicism be in our DNA? It must be because I'm with you:I think the "fix" is on! From what I've read, the grand jury didn't take place because there will not be a charge of homicide. What would you call shooting a person dead in the streets? I think the Zimmermans are so well connected that their child will never spend a day in jail. Money buys a lot in America. Even a free pass for murder!~!

Absolutely cosign Alrene's comment. It's sad that this egregious crime may go untried and this gaping wide a-hole of a murderer will never pay for his crime. I'll tell you what though; Zimmerman will more than live his suffering should he not face trial and be sentenced because there will forever be a bounty on his head. If it were me, I'd rather face the jury and live my time in solitary than always know I had a target on me.

Sidebar...I pray it doesn't happen, but if Zimmerman gets a pass; I pray people will NOT stop the fight for justice and will do more to start preserving the lives of our children and do more as a community to end the violence.
