"Well, a jury found him not guilty. We will always know we made every attempt possible under our laws to hold George Zimmerman accountable for his irresponsible and illegal behavior," Corey said.
Pipitone asked how the state can still call it "illegal behavior" when the jury found it was self-defense.
"No, the jury found that we could not prove our case beyond a reasonable doubt," Corey said.
"But he didn't violate the law. He's not a murderer. What is he?" Pipitone asked.
"He is and always will be a man who profiled and tracked an unarmed teenager. He provoked that teenager. What George Zimmerman did after disobeying that dispatcher and getting out of his truck set the entire set of circumstances into motion," Corey said.
"But it wasn't a crime," Pipitone said.
That alone wasn't a crime. That combined with his mindset, his profiling, him wanting to be the cop, him wanting to apprehend Trayvon, that's what was all against the law," Corey said.
But the jury didn't appear to see it that way, as the state tried to disprove Zimmerman's claim of self-defense.
"His actions -- he assumed certain things. Assumptions itself are not a crime, but when you act upon the assumptions and you take steps in following, getting out of a car and following this person, confronting him and shooting him. When Rachel Jeantel said she heard, 'Get off me,' that's a crime," de la Rionda said.

"The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." - George Orwell, 1984

The woman is an embarrassment to the whole justice system !!
You are aware that Zero is a lawyer and Eric Holder runs the Justice dept? There isn't a whole hell of a lot that isn't an embarrassment with the justice system (except for you of course).
