Let's see here. No charges. No evidence kept. No first hand investigation. 'Enhanced' video.
Still we set up for an insanity plea by virtue of "Shaken Baby Syndrome".

Will they keep rewriting this story until George Zimmerman is portrayed as an abused child turned suburban hero?
What are these people trying to prove?
Possably that stand you're ground laws are a good thing?
I do not think we will ever find out what realy happened.
