Virtually no homicides are videotaped, yet prosecutors in jurisdictions where the police are not incompetent and/or corrupt do get convictions.
I think you're ignoring the fact that the only reason this case is even being reviewed at all is the protest from Martin's family and the people who support them. How dare anyone criticize the parents of this dead boy after Sanford Florida made them beg for basic justice, and the indecent way that the city treated their son's dead body?
Without that persistence, this was over. No chance of any type of justice.
Now that the DoJ is looking into it, and the FBI, and the state of Florida, there won't be any rush but there will, finally, be an investigation.
Zimmerman's attorney WILL use the stand your ground defense if his client goes to court, and it will probably work because the police botched the evidence so badly. He has nothing to be civilly sued for anyway, so who cares. It's the state of Florida and the city of Sanford that are going to get sued.
