Corey looks courageous, savvy in Trayvon Martin case so far
Only time will tell whether Special Prosecutor Angela Corey got it right in charging George Zimmerman with second-degree murder.
As I've said before, there's no sense trying to second-guess that call without all the facts.
But the Republican state attorney from Jacksonville has already done a few things that show she's tougher and savvier than the average bear
especially the bears in these parts.
First of all, Corey stepped up to the plate and decided to bring charges herself instead of using a grand jury. That took guts.

I think charging him with 1st degree would have been to harsh and he might have walked. I really don't think he will walk; at least I hope he doesn't.

I love how she continually tells the idiotic reporters about the process because somehow they have become so inundated with trivialities they can't be bothered to give the people a fucking civics lesson.
