I don't know. This Trayvon thing seems to be CONSUMING America

14. The killing of Trayvon Martin was horrible.

However, the system is working, however slowly, even though Zimmerman has not yet been charged.

The original prosecutor who refused to charge has recused himself and Zimmerman now is being investigated by a higher level State Attorney, who has an investigative team and the authority either to charge or to take the case to the grand jury for an indictment. A grand jury here is composed of citzens just like a regular jury, but the grand jury works in private. The prosecutor puts the evidence and the law before the grand jury, but the grand jury votes on whether to indict, or charge, the alleged criminal.

Zimmerman could easily be indicted or otherwise charged within the next two or three weeks.

Once charged, he will be brought before the court for a preliminary hearing, at which bail and a trial date will be set. I expect that Zimmerman will be required to post a very significant amount of bail.

All I ask is that people not believe everything said in the media or on the internet. There have already been instances of inaccurate reporting in the TV media. This is a very, very upsetting case, and I think that the media needs to be careful to check facts thoroughly before airing or printing them.
