Special prosecutor in Trayvon Martin shooting has decided against sending the case to a grand jury, her office says.

WOW! I sure hope they have a briefing on why so that folks can hear how this decision came about.

It will be interesting to see whether the prosecutor's office still goes ahead with charges.

Zimmerman's lawyers have quit. They say they haven't talked to him and they don't know where he is. But they know where he's not. Florida.

Shouldn't he have been required to stay in the state and in touch with the police until it was decided charges aren't being filed?

Zimmerman has never met his lawyers, doesn't seek their advice when speaking to journalists, set up a different website than the one they made for him, and fled the state? This really doesn't sound like a sane, innocent man. They can say it is PTSD, but chasing Trayvon after the dispatcher said not to and making up wild stories is not what a reasonable person would do. I'm getting pessimistic about Trayvon's family ever seeing justice.

This case is insane. Apparently, his website has an option for donations. WTF? What sane person would donate for his relocation and lawyer fees? I just don't get it.

I think those lawyers are really suspect, too. Not only have they never met with GZ, they don't have a contract with him, and he hasn't been arrested/indicted on anything. So, to hold a press conference telling everyone that 1) they've quit his case (um, he doesn't HAVE a case yet) and 2) he has PTSD (which, if true, would be privileged info, and if not ...........), and 3) they quit because they hadn't heard from him in 2 days(?!). I think they're just trying to get publicity. CNN had other lawyers commenting on this and they were all appalled.

As for the website, I just don't know about people. They are still looking for reasons why TM brought this upon himself. My mom keeps saying "he killed a child who only had ice tea and candy". It seems so clear.
