I said he didn't "bounce with his money." All we know definitively is he no longer has a relationship with those lawyers.

Awesome. This is all people have been asking.

Or, I didn't care enough to figure out the exact Florida statues and gave him the benefit of the doubt as I said.
Thankfully, he's charged now, so nobody will whine I say Zimmerman should be charged.

I think I'd rather they charge him with manslaughter if they feel that there isn't a strong enough case to get him convicted of murder. The worst case scenario (assuming that he was not attacked without provocation, which seems extremely unlikely) would be for him to be brought up on murder charges that don't stick due to lack of evidence. Unfortunately, the entire case was severely jeopardized by the horrible way in which the Sanford police handled the situation. I'm just glad that they are finally bringing charges against him, though. Hopefully he hasn't already fled the country.

Doubtful. It seemed rather obvious this news was coming this week.
I'm glad to hear it's finally going to happen. Better late than never.
To her credit, wasn't anything wrong in trying to correct the guy. But you're right that she made it seem definitive, so that wasn't really correcting anything. We can't really conclude one way or the other like you said.
And your sentiments mirror my own about peoples defense of zimmerman. It's a little disconcerting when a posters only contribution is making corrections in defense of zimmerman, but whatever.
They can do multiple charges in a courtroom at one time. Whatever the prosecution 'thinks' he is guilty of they can charge Zimmerman, they must of course prove it in court and he might only get charged with Manslaughter or not at all (Its up to the court system) but you put all the possible charges on the table from the start.

That still doesn't mean that he "bounced".

This actually crossed my mind as well.

Fuckin finally! Can't wait for the circus that is his trial.
Maybe he runs and the cops are forced to stand their ground. All bets are off in that state.
Wasn't it reported that he would turn himself in if charged?
Yeah, it was:HuffPo
Will be interesting to see if this holds true.

*puts my foot on the gas pedal* why is my car still driving?
Well that was said by his attorneys.
IIRC his father said something similar.
Can we get this thread closed and move to the other one?

People can say whatever they want. Doesn't make them right. If someone is getting robbed and they don't give up their wallet fast enough and get shot in the head I'd disagree with someone saying or insinuating that the victim made the mistake.
If someone is about to get sexually assaulted and doesn't remove their clothes fast enough I'd disagree with someone saying or insinuating that the victim made the mistake.
I just think it's wrong to blame or insinuate an error on the part of the victim. That's really all. He shouldn't be obligated to do anything different. He did what you're suppose to do: Keep walking, resist if you need to, scream for help. He wasn't the aggressor in this. Zimmerman was. That responsibility of doing things differently if given the chance should be on him and him alone.
Who knows what would maybe might have possible could have happened if Trayvon was as submissive as humanly possible. But we do know what would have happened if Zimmerman would have stayed in his car and waited for the police: Not a damned thing.
there's a new thread for this. no need to to have 2 similar threads going in parallel, imo.

Well since the family is still seeking an arrest, I'd say there's no reason to close it.

/giggle , just saw the news on cnn that he'll be charged. The question remains, will he come out and will the Martin family sue the SPD and Wolfinger for their corruption?
To answer Equaps question, thus thread will go on because people like Zoe will never accept that they were wrong.

Now comes the hard part. And I really hope they don't over-reach and go for a murder charge due to public sentiment. Unless they have a lot of evidence that hasn't been made public I just don't see how they could prove it.

You can charge him on multiple counts.
