He would be an idiot to plea bargain.

Don't take this that I am suggesting it, but he could try using the insanity defense. I know it is a hard defense in court.

The state attorney said that the decision didn’t take a long time, despite it more than 40 days since the original crime was committted.

“It didn’t take long,” Corey said. “Remember, the prosecutor’s burden is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. We have numerous homicides where immediate arrests are not made. We have to have a reasonable certainty for conviction before we file charges.”

Under Florida law, second degree murder is the unlawful killing of a person when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual. The maximum sentence for the crime is life in prison.

Corey said the decision to charge Zimmerman was made last week. She said Seminole County officials have worked with her office to set up the courts for coming hearings.

I just found a fantastic site which goes into great detail about the Zimmerman case.

http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/evidence-that-trayvon-martin-doubled-back

This site has timelines and maps.  They have come to the same conclusion that I came to long ago: that Trayvon had run off and had then returned to confront George Zimmerman.

Please visit this site to see the map and timeline alone.

What his "attorneys" did yesterday was highly unprofessional.

I agree. They totally threw Zimmerman under the bus. It was also revealed that they have never even met face to face with him? WTF

I hope his attorney can make the case that there's no way in hell the man can get a fair trial due to media and political interventions.  I wouldn't have blamed him in the least if he'd left the country. 

I didn't live through Rodney King, but I lived in Durham during Duke Lacrosse. They were tried and sentenced in the media, by Duke faculty and by locals with guilt or an axe to grind at every turn.  I had to listen to my in-laws discussing poor Crystal at every family function.  Funny how they shut up after the truth emerged.

Plus, I notice Martin's mother thanking The Lord and Jesus for Zimmerman's arrest.  Have the DUmmies censured her for that yet as they do those who thank God after surviving natural disasters?

Zimmermans lawyer said that they are going work the case around the "Stand Your Ground" law. I also agree that there is no way the man will get a fair trial. There are way too many people who know about the case, and already convicted him.

Angela Cory may have charged him with a crime which she knows he can't be convicted. I was expecting manslaughter and the 2nd degree murder threw me for a loop. After I thought about it, a jury might be convinced to convict on manslaughter just to keep the peace but I don't think they will be able to seat a jury that will convict for murder. They either clear him or you have a hung jury. Either way Cory is off the hook.

Holder will be out of office by then.  This trial is going to take I while IMO.  Hell the actual arraignment isn't until next month according to a news report I heard today.

The first thing out of Cory's mouth was she wasn't politically pressured into arresting and charging zimmerman. That is grounds for immediate disbarment.

We all know she lied when she made that claim.

What about the two lawyers who left on Zimmerman? That sounds likes grounds for disbarment to me.

I'm all for option number two. Maybe with, ah never mind, not enough time left in his term to even contemplate such a stroke of good fortune.

Sounds to me like they didn't want to get dragged into the political arena that this case has turned into, but I don't know that this would be cause for disbarment.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how dropping a client would lead to disbarment proceedings in this case.
