Angela Corey is the Florida prosecutor who used highly unethical (and possibly illegal) means to indict and try George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. NRO today has an article about Corey's "checkered past." Read it here.

Ted Nugent Agrees: Black Racism On The Rise
Ted Nugent has weighed in on the Zimmerman trial and verdict. He writes:
Read Ted's article here.
no one can possibly dispute the recent surge in black racism increasing throughout Barack Obama’s presidency. To attempt to claim otherwise is a laughable lie.And he furnished this gem:
America also believes that the entire prosecutorial team should be ashamed of themselves and disbarred for ignoring the obvious and kowtowing to the pure racism that forced the politically correct lie that only black lives killed by non-blacks matterNugent says much of what we already know, but it is still nice to hear truth amidst all the bogus cries of foul from the race-baiters and hucksters:
- That George Zimmerman was unjustly, physically attacked by Tryavon Martin
- That Zimmerman had reason to fear for his life
- That Zimmerman acted properly, reasonably and lawfully in defending himself
- That the irrational hatred now being poured out by blacks nationwide is undeniable evidence of their racism.

THANK GOD: Zimmerman Walks
FINALLY, some good news.
God bless the six ladies of the Florida jury who carefully weighed the evidence and came to the right conclusion. George Zimmerman is NOT GUILTY of either Second Degree Murder or Manslaughter.
Of course, his life is largely ruined, but at least he's not behind bars...yet.
The Federal Government could retry him for "violation of Trayvon Martin's civil rights," as they did in the case of the Rodney King cops. But they damn well better not.

Two Trayvon Martin Must Read Articles
Here are two great articles on the travesty of the Zimmerman trial:
1. Why the Zimmerman Prosecutors Should Be Disbarred
Jack Cashill, writing at the American Thinker, cites a Supreme Court case Brady vs Maryland, that shows prosecutors are charged with proving guilt honestly and fairly, not lying or withholding evidence in order to win a conviction at all costs:
2. Zimmerman Case's Legal Absurdities Astound

The State's job is to make the case for the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Fifty years ago, in Brady v. Maryland, the U.S. Supreme Court established that a prosecutor's responsibility was "to seek justice fairly, not merely win convictions by any means." In the case at hand, this meant that the State of Florida had the responsibility to share promptly all exculpatory evidence with the defense. It did not.The fact that the Zimmerman prosecutors went all out to convict an obviously innocent man only further proves that Florida v. Zimmerman was sham trial that was staged for political reasons, not justice. The prosecutors have deliberately attempted to railroad George Zimmerman, and they should pay for that with their law licenses.
2. Zimmerman Case's Legal Absurdities Astound
Mark Steyn writes:
If, for the purposes of American show trials, a Hispanic who voted for a black president can be instantly transformed into a white racist, there's no reason why he can't be a child abuser, too. The defense was notified of this novel development, on which the prosecution (judging by the volume of precedents assembled) had been working for weeks or more likely months, at 7:30 that morning. If you know your Magna Carta, you'll be aware that "no official shall place a man on trial ... without producing credible witnesses to the truth of it." But the rights enjoyed by free men in the England of King John in 1215 are harder to come by in the State of Florida eight centuries later.Read the two articles at the links provided above.

State Mandated Show Trial: The Fix Is In
Lots of commentary on Rush and the web about the outcome of the Zimmerman trial. Most pundits are pessimistic about the verdict. They believe that the government has entered into a new phase of tyranny and totalitarianism, the use of show trials with predetermined outcomes to achieve political ends.
This morning, the prosecution in the Zimmerman case presented a last-minute motion for the court to provide a third possible verdict, Third Degree Murder on the basis of "Child Abuse." The incompetent, yet ruthless prosecutors are trying to get a felony conviction at all costs. The defense objected to the last minute nature of the motion, and the judge (thankfully) denied the motion.
The fix seems to be in, in the Zimmerman trial, and the leftist government and leftist media are totally invested in convicting an innocent man for racial reasons. They believe that there is one standard of justice for black people, and a different one for everyone else. My understanding is:

- The original Chief of Police of Sanford, Florida was demoted for refusing to arrest Zimmerman and resisting political pressure to do so:
Bill Lee, who testified Monday in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, told CNN's George Howell in an exclusive interview that he felt pressure from city officials to arrest Zimmerman to placate the public rather than as a matter of justice. "It was (relayed) to me that they just wanted an arrest. They didn't care if it got dismissed later," he said. "You don't do that."
- The Department of Justice helped organize and support protests and demands for prosecuting Zimmerman, in effect, throwing the might of the federal government behind demands for a show trial.
- Informed pundits like William Jacobson have a bad feeling about the trial outcome. Although the evidence for acquittal is overwhelming, the jury may feel pressured to provide a politically correct verdict, in order to avoid criticism and violence while covering themselves in liberal glory. Jacobson writes:
I’ve said it before, this was a case which never should have been brought, and it wasn’t. Not until a carefully orchestrated professionally managed publicity campaign based on false racial accusations, resulting in a Special Prosecutor."Progressive" politics corrupts everything. Science, academia, media...and now the system of justice. Where will it all end? And what can we do about it?
