You're right Bill, it's a serious police screw-up, aided and abetted by an insane law that stands in the way of justice.
However, you seemed to be accepting Zimmerman's story without benefit of evidence, and assume that people who want justice just don't like Zimmerman. The police had plenty of "probably cause" to do an much more complete investigation before accepting Zimmerman's story. Police can't accept testimony from a witness at the scene of a crime, they can collect evidence and statements but a prosecutor should make the call about charges.
It was your willingness to blindly accept Zimmerman's story and lack of interest in justice that was a bit startling.
I appreciate your updated comment though.
