FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“The first thing we did was pray with them. We did not promise them anything,”
she said.
Speaking at the press conference 44 days after her son’s death, Miss Fulton
said: “We simply wanted an arrest. Nothing more, nothing less and we
got it and I say thank you.
“And I want to speak from my heart. A heart has no colour, it’s not black and
it’s not white, it’s red. And I want to say thank you from my heart to your
heart.”
Supporters of the family clapped and called out “Praise, Jesus,” as their lawyer,
Benjamin Crump, called for “justice, justice, justice and only justice”.
The maximum sentence for second degree murder in Florida is life in prison.
The charge is usually levied in cases in which the perpetrator intended to
cause harm but not death, and is similar to the offence of manslaughter in
the United Kingdom.
Miss Corey refused to say where Zimmerman was being held, but ABC News
reported that he was in Orange County jail in Orlando.
By arresting Zimmerman, prosecutors have brought to a close weeks of
speculation over whether charges would ever be brought over Trayvon’s death.
As tensions rose, Miss Corey, was appointed to review the decision made by
the police and original prosecutors not to arrest him.
On Tuesday, Zimmerman’s lawyers dropped him as a client, saying that he was no
longer in contact with them and was acting erratically. He has retained the
services of a new attorney, Mark O’Mara.
Trayvon was killed on February 26 as he walked back from a grocery store where
he had been buying sweets for his younger brother.
Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighbourhood watch coordinator, was patrolling
the gated community where he and Trayvon’s father lived.
A tape of a call he made to police shows that he claimed that there was a
black suspect acting suspiciously in the area. He was ordered by the
operator not to follow the man, but apparently did so.
Trayvon’s 16-year-old girlfriend, who police failed to speak to before
releasing Zimmerman, has said that she was on the phone to him at the time,
and that he had said he was being followed and was frightened.
She said she heard the sound of someone challenge then slam into the teenager,
before the line went dead.
An emergency 911 call made by a neighbour alarmed by the sound of a struggle
was also released – on it, someone can be heard screaming in pain or fear
before a shot rings out.
Zimmerman was not arrested and was allowed to leave the Sanford police station
within hours of Trayvon’s death after telling detectives he fired in
self-defence.
The case shone a spotlight on race relations in the United States, with
protesters claiming that the incident would have been handled differently
had the teenager been white.
It also raised questions over Florida’s controversial “shoot first”
self-defence law, called Stand Your Ground, which allows citizens to attack
if they believe they are in danger. Zimmerman, whose father is white and
mother Hispanic, said he killed the 17-year-old while in fear for his life
after Trayvon assaulted him.
In the weeks that followed, protests erupted around the country, with
thousands of people taking to the streets wearing “hoodies” – hooded
sweatshirts – like that Trayvon had on when he was killed, and which
apparently made Zimmerman suspicious of him.
Black leaders called for his arrest, and at least one militant group put a
vigilante bounty on his head.
A separate investigation is being conducted by the Justice Department into
Sanford police, to examine whether racism was involved in the handling of
the case.
