Thank goodness, this is what the Martin family wanted, transparency.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Special prosecutor Angela Corey says she will not bring the Trayvon Martin shooting death before a grand jury.

Corey said Monday she continues to investigate the case and will not involve a grand jury set to meet Tuesday

Corey says her decision to skip the grand jury shouldn’t be considered a factor in determining whether charges will be filed against George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who has admitted to fatally shooting the unarmed Martin.

That means the decision now rests solely with Corey

    I’m not a lawyer, but the only thing that can reasonably be expected to happen now would be some type of racial charges from the feds. The Florida special prosecutor cannot be expected to bring state charges on her own, can she?

    Wouldn’t it have been a more decisive statement had it gone to the grand jury?

    I would ASSUME this decision on her part indicates ultimately she anticipates filing charges?
