“This [George Zimmerman Trial] is a dangerous intersection of racial politics and law. Were the racial politics not animating this prosecution, prosecutors should be free to say, ‘you know what, this is not a second degree murder case, our witnesses are weak, they’re going to help the defense as well as they’re going to help us, we should charge him with a much lesser crime and we’d have a better chance of convicting’. They’re not stupid. They know they have a weak case, and they’re putting it out anyway because of the public pressure to prosecute this guy, and that’s not how this is supposed to work.” -Judge Andrew P. Napolitano,
