of the concern now has to be, if the prosecutor s office wanted to talk to mr. zimmerman, mr. zimmerman has no lawyers. how do they do that? exactly. i mean, what these lawyers did today, whether intentional or unintentional, is they cast serious doubts on whether or not mr. zimmerman is acting, right now, in a reasonable matter np prosecutor who is a very, very intelligent and seasoned homicide prosecutor will take that into account. if in fact she find the evidence and charges mr. zimmerman, she will ask for a bond that will prevent mr. zimmerman, if he is a flight risk. there are questions raised by the two lawyers that represent id mr. zimmerman as to his reasonableness. as to whether or not he is acting rational and whether or not he is in fact a flight risk. let me go back to you about mrs. corey, attorney smith.
well i think she s going to keep her eyes on the prize. i think her her goal is going to be to gather as much information as she can to make a charging decision. as far as the impact of what s happened today, i think that the most obvious down side to it is likely to be the fact that in the event that mr. zimmerman is charged and arrested, the prosecutor s going to be looking for a higher bond or no bond at all because now there are questions about whether or not he is, number one a flight risk, and number two a danger to the community. those questions have probably always been there, but probably weren t as pointed as they are now. now, let me go back to you a minute, ken, i want to ask russell something about ms. corey. but i want it ask you this, ken, as he states about the arrest, the bond issue and all of that, wouldn t you also say that part
clearly it casts some credibility issues on mr. zimmerman. now, russell smith, you ve been h a defense attorney and in fact headed the association there in jacksonville. does this not really impact the case and credibility of mr. zimmerman? well, i think it certainly causes people to wonder about his motives and his actions. both of the lawyers have good reputations in the central florida area, as defense lawyers. this was a pretty unprecedented news conference. it was very unusual. so you have to assume there, some significant reasons why it happened. now, you know an gentlemenly corey, the special prosecutors. i m sure you don t know her thoughts on this case, but just from what you know of her, how do you think that someone like her would view this? this has got to impact the how she conducts her investigation.
