The wheels of justice move mighty slow at times. Just waiting on autopsy results, reports from the crime lab, etc can take a long time.
And you can't proceed with a case until you have all of the evidence. Meantime, everybody is running around bitching that the cops ain't doing their job...which may or may not be the case.
A grand jury has been convened, so it looks like people are doing their job, and justice...or in the absence of that, legality...will be served.

After the Feds stepped in.
The details are way to complex to sum up in short posts. One thing is a fact. Trayvon was tested for drugs, Zimmerman wasn't. The investigation is already compromised.
The Sanford police department Has a very checkered recent past. I look forward to learning more.
Read the link I just posted. It is interesting to see what defensive gun rights advocates are saying.
Oh, I know lots of prosecutors, public defenders, judges, and cops. They are personal friends, or my wife has represented them, keeping their ass' out of the ringer or in the money. I know how the process works. This one does not pass the smell test.
Man, I have some good stories to tell about lawyers, judges, and cops. I think that would be a great new thread. Some of it is very interesting. One involves my father in law, a prominent lawyer, law school professor, and an Assistant US Attorney that represented Eisenhower in the Little Rock Central High School segregation debacle in the 50's.
That was his early career. The accusation, conviction, and then the eventual acquittal for importing four tons of Columbian pot into the US is a really good story. Case law is still used today in drug trials.
Guess I just don't trust the legal system that much.
