Mediaite<\/a>\u00a0posted an article yesterday on the George Zimmerman arrest. The article was an interview that occurred on MSNBC’s hardball when guest host Michel Smerconish was interviewing Professor Alan Dershowitz on the arrest of George Zimmerman. I will admit I was rather surprised at the Professor’s comments.<\/p>\n

The article reports Professor Dershowitz’s comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cMost affidavits of probable cause are very thin. This is so thin that it won\u2019t make it past a judge on a second degree murder charge,\u201d Dershowitz said. \u201cThere\u2019s simply nothing in there that would justify second degree murder.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dershowitz said that the elements that would constitute that crime are non-existent in the affidavit. \u201cIt\u2019s not only thin, it\u2019s irresponsible,\u201d said Dershowitz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dershowitz went on to strongly criticize Corey\u2019s decision to move forward with the case against Zimmerman. \u201cI think what you have here is an elected public official who made a campaign speech last night for reelection when she gave her presentation and overcharged. This case will not \u2013 if the evidence is no stronger than what appears in the probable cause affidavit \u2013 this case will result in an acquittal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess I have more than one question about this entire episode. If George Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin after he was told not to, that was a mistake. I understand that. However, I have a few questions, “If George Zimmerman had not shot Trayvon Martin, would George Zimmerman still be alive? Would he have been beaten to death? Did he have reason to fear that that was a possibility? Does that not then make Florida’s law that says he had a right to defend himself apply?”<\/p>\n

This is the modern equivalent of a gun battle at high noon. Regardless of who was right, someone was going to be killed that night.<\/p>\n
