[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1796369, member: 1294"] Google Norman Wolfinger, would some rather see racial division and even violence than allow the "more equal" be disturbed? CNN revealed a telling piece of information Friday that has been missed by many of the media outlets covering the slaying of 17-year old Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch captain on Feb. 26. "The portrayal of George Zimmerman in the media, as well as the series of events that led to the tragic shooting, are false and extremely misleading," his father, a retired magistrate judge, wrote in a letter published in the Orlando Sentinel. "Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas." "George is a Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends," Robert Zimmerman wrote. "He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever." (Emphasis added.) Might this explain why, [B]when he was first taken to police headquarters on Feb. 26, the lead investigator wanted to bring charges against Zimmerman, saying he was unconvinced of the 28-year old's description of events. [/B] ABC News reports: [B]The lead homicide investigator in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin recommended that neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, multiple sources told ABC News.[/B] But Sanford, Fla., [B]Investigator Chris Serino was instructed to not press charges against Zimmerman because the state attorney's office headed by Norman Wolfinger determined there wasn't enough evidence to lead to a conviction[/B], the sources told ABC News. According to Think Progress, [B]Wolfinger has since removed himself from the case.[/B] Was Wolfinger doing a favor for a retired judge? The blog Hinterland Gazette believes that may be the case. [B]It should be noted that George Zimmerman may have received favorable treatment from the police because of his family. ‎According to court records, his father is retired Supreme Court Magistrate Judge Robert Zimmerman and his mother Gladys Zimmerman was a court clerk. Connections in the legal community run deep and go far.[/B] [B]Might this also explain the younger Zimmerman's record that includes three "closed arrests"?[/B] Another blog, RollingOut.com, puts it like this: [B]According to a records search on George, he was previously arrested for domestic violence, resisting an officer without violence and most shockingly, resisting an officer with violence - a felony charge that surely could have landed him in prison.[/B] All three of those arrests, however, were mysteriously closed with no semblance of charges for the Florida resident. So how was someone with a violent past including that of battery against an officer able to carry a 9 mm handgun? Maybe that’s a question Robert Zimmerman should answer. RollingOut goes on to list the arrests and cases in question. One case seems to be a "he-said-she-said" case of domestic violence where both parties were charged. ZUAZO, VERONICA vs. ZIMMERMAN, GEORGE M 08/09/2005 Div 44 44, TBA Domestic Violence Closed – SRS 2005-DR-013069-O ZIMMERMAN, GEORGE M vs. ZUAZO, VERONICA A 08/10/2005 Div 46 White, Keith F Domestic Violence Closed – SRS There was a resisting an officer without violence charge: 07/18/2005 Orlando Miller, W Michael Misdemeanor Closed CR-RESISTING OFFICER WITHOUT VIOLENCE 2005-DR-012980-O [B]And, most disturbingly, a case where he was charged with resisting an officer with violence.[/B] 2005-CF-009525-A-O ZIMMERMAN, GEORGE MICHAEL 10/05/1983 07/18/2005 Div 10 OKane, Julie H Criminal Felony Closed CR-RESISTING OFFICER WITH VIOLENCE BATTERY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER Three cases, three charges, all closed. How did this guy get a gun, let alone a carry permit? By the selective leaking of information, whose ass is the Sanford Police Department trying to cover? It's own? The former state attorney? Retired Virginia Supreme Court Magistrate Judge Robert Zimmerman's? Or George Zimmerman's? One thing seems crystal clear. Despite the conservative rush to smear Trayvon, it's looking less like a case of justifiable homicide and self-defense and more like someone trying to protect the privileged son of a retired Virginia Supreme Court Magistrate Judge.
