A case that galvanized the nation also divided it. Gun advocates, white separatist groups and other conservative commentators supported Zimmerman’s right to defend himself and criticized black activists, accusing them of sowing racial strife by claiming Martin was a victim of racial profiling.

“We only know one category as prosecutors, and that’s a ‘V.’ It’s not a ‘B,’ it’s not a ‘W,’ it’s not an ‘H.’ It’s ‘V,’ for victim,” she said. “That’s who we work tirelessly for. And that’s all we know, is justice for our victims.”
But critics say the prosecutor’s zeal to quell critics may have gone too far.
The murder charge is “political prostitution,” said Cheney Mason, the criminal defense attorney who successfully defended last year’s high profile trial of accused child-killer Casey Anthony. “Now I don’t have all the facts — no one does — but you look at what we know of the case, and it looks like the prosecutor bowed to other pressures.”

… AP) — While Dominique Strauss-Kahn faces fresh charges in his native France amid a prostitution investigation, a judge in New York may decide whether to allow a civil case accusing him of sexually assaulting a hotel maid to go forward.

Still, she vowed to have her day in court, and sued Strauss-Kahn. She maintains he attacked her when she came to clean his luxury suite at the Sofitel Hotel.

Sanford and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office have another volunteer program called Citizens on Patrol. In Volusia, those volunteers ride two to a Sheriff’s Office-issued car. They undergo background and driver checks, an hourlong interview and 60 hours of training.
“We don’t want any cop wannabes or people thinking they’re going out and acting like cops and making arrests,” sheriff’s spokesman Gary Davidson said. “If we think that’s the motivation, we’re going to weed them out.”
Neighborhood Watch, by contrast, is less formal and is run by residents — although volunteers in both programs are told not to confront anyone. Their job is to observe and describe suspicious people or cars to law officers and help make their neighbors aware of problems.
“We tell people, ‘Don’t be a hero,’” Dorival said. “Don’t risk it.”
Watch group improved other Sanford neighborhood
