FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Special prosecutor Angela Corey says she will not bring the Trayvon Martin shooting death before a grand jury.
Updated at 12:54 p.m. ET: A special prosecutor has ruled out the use of a grand jury in the Trayvon Martin case.
State Attorney Angela Corey’s decision is not to be considered a factor in whether charges are eventually brought against George Zimmerman, Corey’s office said in a statement.
The grand jury, which was scheduled by a previous prosecutor, was set to convene on Tuesday in Sanford, Fla.
That means the decision whether to prosecute Zimmerman, 28, for Martin’s death now rests with Corey’s office. The case is also under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI.
Martin, a 17-year-old from Miami Gardens, was shot to death by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, at a gated community in Sanford on Feb. 26.
“From the moment she was assigned, Ms. Corey noted she may not need a grand jury,” according to a statement released from Corey’s office. “At this time, the investigation continues and there will be no further comment from this office.”
The case has led to protests and sparked debate nationwide about race and the laws of self-defense, particularly Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows the use of deadly force and eliminates a person’s duty to retreat in the face of danger. Martin was black; Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic.
Though Martin was unarmed, Zimmerman has claimed self-defense, telling police Martin attacked him.
The Martin family and their lawyer, Benjamin Crump, have claimed the teen wasn’t the aggressor, saying his race played a role in the fatal shooting.
No charges have been filed in the case.
