This CM has only been on the job for several months. He is still trying to get a feel for the office.
Having served in the same capacity in Topeka KS, though, Bonaparte has the credentials and the experience to make make a sound decision. Whether he will or not remains to be seen.

At first I was appalled that he might be tied up in what many of us have perceived as foot dragging and circumventing justice for Trayvon Martin. I was even more skeptical after reading his letter. But delving further into the reports of a series of burglaries that had plagued the Twin Lakes gated community in the preceding months before the shooting, I could start to see why Bonaparte has responded the way he did. Kansas doesn't have a "stand your ground" law. So, being new to Florida and unacquainted with such a controversial law, he relied on advisors such as the State Attorney and Bill Lee himself to educate him. He cites, through Lee, the pertinent statutes in his letter and also notes that he ( Bonaparte) was the instigator in summoning the US government for an independent investigation.
