re: #56 Charles Johnson

If there had not been a public outcry over this, the case would have simply gone away. That’s what the Sanford PD tried to do to it. If no charges are handed down within a certain amount of time (I believe it’s 20 weeks, but I could be remembering incorrectly), someone like Zimmerman can never be charged for the crime even if new evidence comes out.

In most jurisdictions, there is no statute of limitations for murder.
