Source: Sanford police chief, state attorney made Zimmerman 'no charge' call in personhttp://www.thegrio.com/specials/trayvon-martin/source-sanford-police-chief-state-attorney-made-zimmerman-no-charge-call-in-person.php#46882946
It seems George Zimmerman has some friends in high places. Despite the fact that at least one Sanford police detective did not buy Zimmerman's story that Trayvon Martin posed a threat to his life, officials at the highest level of local justice said to "cut him loose."
Joy-Ann Reid reported earlier Wednesday for TheGrio that state attorney Wolfinger and the Sanford Chief of Police were at the scene that evening before telling the police department to let him go. While there's no way to know whether these officials and former Virginia Supreme Court Magistrate Robert Zimmerman play golf together or hang out or what. What is known is that these officials visited the crime scene and then told police to release Zimmerman without taking any pictures of the alleged broken nose or cut head, without getting blood samples from the bloody t-shirt at least one officer alleges he saw, without even performing the most basic investigative procedures.
None of these things happened, and Zimmerman went free. Trayvon Martin's phone records corroborate his girlfriend's account that he was on the phone with her just moments before the shooting, yet George Zimmerman's father insists she's lying about talking to him.
So far the only story that has been corroborated with fact is Trayvon Martin's, posthumously. Yet George Zimmerman is not yet facing any legal action for shooting an unarmed kid

(6,086 posts)This stinks to high Heaven!! Everything that can be corroborated leans toward Trayvon. So, the girlfriend is lying about a phone call that is backed up by PHONE RECORDS? Wow, I knew we are suspected of having superhuman powers sometimes but this takes the cake. Daddy needs to stop lying. He beginning to look like a fool and he's making his son look more and more guilty.

(28,498 posts)I just walked by a public big-screen in the building I work and saw a silhouette (or shadow) of Daddy Zimmerman commenting. I believe it was CNN.
A silhouette? Why doesnt this guy want to show himself?

(50,326 posts)may be something or nothing at all, the common tidbit is both served in Vietnam. I found the Vietnam connection re Wolfinger in a wikipedia page and I believe Mr. Zimmerman talked about his service in his Fox interview. Could they have served in the same unit?
I just think there has to be more than Zimmerman's father being a retired judge being the reason for the actions taken by the SA in this case.
Again, the tidbit I mention could mean nothing at all but it did pique my interest.

(50,326 posts)he served in Virginia so, unless the SA in question also worked in Virginia, they would not have had any working relationship either past or present.

(31,849 posts)Look at the immediately above photo ... Look at the Officer.
L/E routinely wear gloves when escorting, and possibly having to handle, bleeding prisoners/detainees. The officer doesn't have on gloves.

Either there is NO wound to treat, or someone is lying.

and fabricate such a weak cover story.
Time for some major arrests to be made!

But just look the other way Americans, impeachment was off the table as all accountability is now.
