Zimmerman has reason to launch a defamation of character case against Corey.
"Clearly he is somebody who was acquitted by a jury on the grounds of self-defense and she shouldn’t be going around second-guessing the jury verdict and calling him a murderer," the veteran Harvard Law professor said.
"He probably has a defamation action against her. She has no immunity as a prosecutor for appearing on television and if I were his lawyer I would think seriously about bringing a defamation lawsuit against her."
On an interview taped after Zimmerman's acquittal Saturday and airing Monday night on CNN's Headline News program "HLN After Dark," Corey is asked for a word that comes to mind for the former neighborhood-watch volunteer.
"Murderer," she says after several seconds of silence.
...Other noted legal experts also expressed their disgust at Corey’s remark, agreeing with Dershowitz that it could spur legal action by Zimmerman.
“That is shockingly inappropriate, unethical conduct by a prosecutor. And frankly, she might very well be sued for it — and properly so,” noted criminal attorney and CNN legal analyst Paul Callan told Steve Malzberg.
“Prosecutors get immunity when they’re acting within the scope of their employment as prosecutors. But appearing on a TV show doing a word association game is not going to give her immunity. Now that’s really stunning.”
And I hope he takes action. I wonder if he can go after Nancy Grace as well for her racist comments and continuing falsely to claim he said f*****" c**n when he did not.
I know he wants things to die down a bit, but going after these people, especially the media can help send a message. Dont lie and twist things all the time or you may end up paying for it
Nothing will happen to Corey even if he brought the lawsuit. She is covered from the highest ranks of the government. When they sat down with her and this worthless case, she was told, "Be our lapdog and go after him. We'll take care of you down the road." She did as she was told, by the governor and he probably had someone telling him what to do. Any state or federal lawsuit would be dismissed by a judge, which is already on the "payroll."

That is why we have civil rights lawsuits that take these cases out of the hands of "good-old-boy" networks.

While I was not happy with the verdict, and I hope Zimmerman isn't able to profit off of killing Trayvon Martin, I absolutely agree that Corey was completely out of line. An incredibly unethical response to the question, and she should be sanctioned/reprimanded in some way.

Oh, nose! A Citizens Grand Jury! I bet she's just shaking in her boots.
I'm surprised they weren't too busy trying to prove Obama was born on Mars.
