A travesty of justice

If you don't recognize the name Angela Corey, climb out of the hole you're in and read what follows:

Ronald Thompson of Keystone Heights is 65 and a 14-year Army veteran who has logged 5,000 hours of volunteer service at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Lake City.

But for the crime of firing two gunshots into the ground to scare off some teenagers, he is serving 20 years in prison.

Thompson is nearly blind, diabetic and has had multiple heart surgeries. In the past few years since he was in prison, he has had surgery on his prostate and to remove tumors from his face.

Two years ago, the judge who reviewed the 20-year term required by Florida's mandatory minimum law called it "a crime in itself." He sentenced Thompson to three years instead of 20.

But that was overturned on appeal by the office of 4th Circuit State Attorney Angela Corey, the prosecutor in the case of George Zimmerman — the accused shooter of Sanford teen Trayvon Martin.

The more we learn of Ms. Corey, the more one wonders how in hell someone like her is serving in the capacity she's serving.

And we're to expect she'll be pursuing truth and justice in the Zimmerman case?

When pigs fly out of my rear end.

If he instead had shot a policeman and was himself a black man then half the celebraties in Hollywood would be demonstrating for his release.

I have been on vacation and am, therefore, out of the loop. But after seeing this and doing a little research, I've come to two conclusions:

1. Angela Corey must go. She's insane.

2. My little corner of Florida (Marion County) may be the only sane portion of the state.

She is insane

This woman is out of her mind she is over abusing her power and needs to be put out of her position. Not only for this case but also for Christian Fernandez putting him through what he is going through is going to lead to more turmoil. His mother is the one who is at fault kids play, they have accidents and it was the mothers responsibility to get her son to the hospital but she didn't. Makes you wonder did she abuse the child and Christian is covering for her hmmm?

Angela Corey...... Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.... and she absolutely is not the person who should be standing in her shoes of authority ....the women is not the least bit remotely interested in justice, how does this women sleep at night. She herself should be locked up she commits crimes against humanity and basic human rights and the very laws that make laws and exercises them.
