Not many on this TOTV forum expressed concern about what she did, or what was done to the investigation and the politics of interference.
That issue was superseded by an almost sporting event aura, cheering and rooting during the trial, etc.
If folks who are tearing at this verdict, crying race, etc are not concerned, and here I make the assumption they do not care because of political party or political leanings.....why would they care at election time ?
Thy will vote their party no matter what.

This did become a political hot potato and, to some, reeked of Florida racism because the Sanford police seemed to nothing in an investigation. It did take the intercession of the Florida governor to prompt an arrest 44 days after the killing. Sometimes a third party is necessary. However, it is not always necessary to kowtow to agitators just for political reasons.
I highly doubt that any other special prosecutor appointed by the Florida governor would have handled the case any differently.
As for Federal civil rights charges being levied against Z, I say why bother? The deed is done, a verdict is in, Z is vilified by some, praised by others, but he will never be absolutely free.
