Desperate People do desperately stupid things

Like most people -- thank goodness -- I've never committed -- nor for that matter charged  - anything greater than petty crimes (speeding, parking etc.) never the really big ones.  Most who do such crimes, or are charged with them, are not twisted geniuses, but rather desperate and/or stupid people.

So there's nothing shocking about the Zimmermans' lies really

I think that is generally true for those who get prosecuted for their crimes, but not for a lot of white collar criminals. Folks like the big bankers are simply greedy fucks insulated from accountability by class privilege. That said, most of them aren't all that bright either.

Why isn't Zimmerman charged, too? Christ, if he lied about this, is there any reason to believe he didn't lie about Trayvon Martin assaulting him? Is that why the DA won't charge him in his inexcusably under charged second degree case?
