No Grand Jury In The Trayvon Martin Case

Via The Blaze:
Tuesday was set to be a pivotal day in the ongoing investigation into the Trayvon Martin case that has rocked headlines and dominated political discussion for the last month, for it was when a group of citizens were set to make up a grand jury taksed with determining if there was enough evidence to arrest George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed the 17-year-old in late February. The Orlando Sentinel is now reporting though that State Attorney Angela Corey has announced that there will be no grand jury in the investigation of the Martin shooting....
According to the Orlando Sentinel:
...Angela Corey, special prosecutor in the case and state attorney for Duval, Clay and Nassau counties, said Monday that her investigation will continue, but the grand jury will not hear the case.

Corey stressed in a statement that the decision to forego the scheduled grand jury proceedings did not reflect whether or not there will ultimately be a prosecution in the case.

In lieu of a grand jury, Corey's office can choose on its own whether or not to charge George Zimmerman with a crime in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon on Feb. 26.

"The decision should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case," Corey's office said in a statement....
How will the New Black Panthers receive this information? Remember this earlier post here at IBA.

I'm not any kind of expert on law, but I'm gonna guess that it's clear that a Grand Jury wouldn't indict Zimmerman so they're gonna do what they have to in order to please the mob.
So it looks like he's beating out a ham sandwich as far as innocence goes.
