1.) The crime scene was poorly secured and there was no indication of a search for evidence until the FBI came in

2.) The Sanford police ignored critical witnesses and tried to change the testimony of others

3.) That strategy leaves a potential flight risk free

4.) Bill Lee defended his and the SA's "No crime here" claim until the Mayor and Council voted "No Confidence"

But feel free to try that "Poor soul, you're uninformed" strategy again. Or better yet, sell it to Robert Crump.

Unfortunately, Zimmerman's behavior sylvi Apr 2012 #23

Yes, repeatedly is the key. amandabeech Apr 2012 #33

The beauty of the word (repeatedly) and the beast of the definition: Liber-AL Apr 2012 #51
