"  Almost any movement by law enforcement in the case of the death of Trayvon Martin, who was shot for the offense of carrying snack food in a neighborhood where the local gun-toting crank thought he had no right to be, is going to reverberate nationally. So, on Monday, when the special prosecutor assigned to the case said she would not be presenting it to a grand jury on Tuesday, as she apparently was scheduled to do, there was a general scrambling to the effect that we all should not make too much of this, and that Angela Corey&amp;#039;s investigation would continue, and that she didn&amp;#039;t need the grand jury anyway because could bring charges herself, if she thought they were warranted. It was requested that everybody else chill the fk out for a spell: Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump said Trayvon&amp;#039;s parents are &amp;quot;not surprised&amp;quot; by the announcement, and remain &amp;quot;hopeful that a decision will be reached very soon to arrest George Zimmerman and give Trayvon Martin&amp;#039;s family the simple justice they have been seeking all along.... &amp;quot;The family has been patient throughout this process and asks that those who support them do the same during this very important investigation,&amp;quot; Crump said in a statement. I have wondered about Corey&amp;#039;s appointment from the jump. She is not merely the special prosecutor in this case; she&amp;#039;s also the state&amp;#039;s attorney for Duval, Clay, and Nassau counties. In that capacity, her day-job would seem to depend vitally on maintaining good relationships with local law enforcement. (I&amp;#039;d also imagine that, in other cases, she would have to defend the &amp;quot;Stand Your Ground&amp;quot; law that is so critical to the eventual disposition regarding the events in Sanford.) And as the days have ground on in this saga, it has become plain that the most important part of the story for which there is empirical evidence is that elements of the Sanford P. D. screwed this thing up from minute one, and that they have something of a history in this regard. It looks as though, among other things, the local police lied to the Martins about how thorough their investigation was. Other cops are howling with laughter. The FBI must be holding its head in its hands. And Angela Corey has a bureaucratic and jurisdictional rat&amp;#039;s nest to untangle. There can be no justice in this case until the appalling malfeasance and nonfeasance of the local police is brought fully to light. And if, for context, prior malfeasance and nonfeasance gets an airing, that&amp;#039;s just too damn bad. Corey faces the prospect of one day having to go to court depending on the testimony of a police department that she has made out to be a clown college in front of the entire nation. I do not envy her the next month or so. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
