Posters' Poll: Top Sportsbooks February 2013
the Mayor of Sanford said he had to force the Sanford Police Dept. and the original prosecutors to release the 911
tapes. He overruled them and forced the release, demanding to know what they were hiding. There was a former
Florida prosecutor interviewed who stated the video showing George Zimmerman handcuffed at the police station
meant, under Florida statute, Zimmerman was already under arrest. He further stated that, under Florida rules, a
person cannot be un-arrested. There must be a booking and investigation and that charges are required within 175
days of his initial handcuffing. If charges are not brought within 175 days, then the arrested (handcuffed) party
cannot be charged with any crime associated with the incident. George Zimmerman was not booked, he was
un-arrested, in violation of Florida law. It's pretty clear that the Sanford Police Dept. has simply been, for some
reason, trying to run out the clock. If the media had not picked up on this case, it would have been swept, on the
basis of a technicality, under the rug. The naming of a special prosecutor, the involvement of the FBI and the
Justice Dept. came about because of questions from the media and civil rights organizations. It
appears there is quite a bit of mischief at play.
