Discovery documents released yesterday shows that the special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin shooting case has a difficult task in front of her. The presumed motive for the shooting, which defendant George Zimmerman claims was necessary to save his life, was racism. The FBI investigation ruled out that motive,NBC’s Miami affiliate reports — but that doesn’t mean Zimmerman is out of the woods yet:

This may doom a second-degree murder case, in which there has to be some malice present prior to the killing. It doesn’t negate the possibility of a manslaughter charge, though, which doesn’t necessarily require a showing of malice. Having led with the second-degree charge, the special prosecutor’s credibility will be seriously undermined by the FBI report, and an attempt to shift the charge downward will undermine it even further. Unless the state has overwhelming evidence that the FBI missed, their case is in serious trouble.
I don't think rational people needed an FBI report to tell us that. However, those who thrive on screaming "racism" like Henny Penny shouting that the sky is falling, will undoubtable continue to ignore the facts.
This actually works in the prosecutions favor. There is no way they could have got a guilty in any murder charge. Now they can just go for manslaughter and have an excuse.
