It Is Time to Disbar Zimmerman Prosecutor
Judson Phillips writes at the WTimes:
George Zimmerman was acquitted . . . by a jury that did the job the prosecutors did not do: It examined the evidence and found it woefully wanting. . . .
It is painfully obvious to any fair observer that [Florida State's attorney] Angela Corey played to the mob and forgot her duties as a prosecutor. The Sanford Police Department and Seminole-Brevard County State’s Attorney Norm Wolfinger originally determined Zimmerman had acted in self-defense. That was not good enough for the racist mob, and Governor Rick Scott appointed Corey as a special prosecutor.
She immediately said her job was to “seek justice for Trayvon.” No, her job was to seek justice, period, and that meant not prosecuting a man when the evidence did not support the prosecution.
Once Corey had played to the mob by having Zimmerman charged, that was not enough. She had to get him convicted. Corey’s office hid evidence, refusing to release photographs showing Zimmerman’s injuries, which were consistent with the claim of self-defense.
Making the case even worse, Corey’s office hid other evidence. . . .
"Angela Corey is singularly unfit to be a prosecutor or a lawyer," Phillips continues. "In most states, the State Supreme Court can summarily suspend the law license of a lawyer who poses an imminent threat to the public safety or welfare. Corey is the textbook definition of a lawyer who is a threat to the public.
"The Florida Bar should take immediate disciplinary action against her, and the Florida Supreme Court should immediately suspend her law license before they disbar her," Phillips concludes: "It is time for more justice in Florida."
