Following the incident, O’Connor was placed in charge of the Zimmerman investigation. Three canvasses of the neighborhood were done the night of the shooting. A video re-enactment was done, and George Zimmerman was cooperative...
...After 48 hours of investigation, the local State’s Attorney was given a run-down of the findings. Lee and O’Connor were told by the State’s Attorney’s Office that there was no criminal case, and there was no way to prosecute. It appeared to be a clear case of self-defense.
...[But when] the dissemination of sensational information began in national media outlets, the department’s Public Information Officer (PIO) was on leave for a family medical situation... By this point, it had become a national story, with both information and misinformation about how the encounter occurred and how Trayvon died.
“The biggest travesty by the media was showing Trayvon when he was 12-13 years old,” O’Connor said. “He was a six foot, 160-pound, 17-year-old young man. Those images of young Trayvon Martin did more to incite this case than anything they would have done, and they did it masterfully.”
Politicians — both near and far — entered into the situation...
After 15 days the investigation was pulled from the Sanford Police Department. The Governor of Florida assigned the case to Angela Corey, the State’s Attorney in the 4th Judicial District in Jacksonville, Florida.
Chief Lee was relieved of his duties and was informed the community no longer had trust in him.
The co-conspirators behind this travesty include Barack Obama, NBC and its deceptive audio-tape edits, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and the rest of the usual suspects. In a sane world, these people would be laughed off the public stage.

You left out Governor Rick Scott from the list, an unusual suspect.
ReplyDelete"In a sane world" Obama would never have been elected, and this kind of self-defense would be commonplace. "In a sane world" there would be no need for this blog!
