Covert Diplomatic Arrangments--how much do they disrupt the justice system?

There is so much that goes whack in Seminole County, so much that gets passed over by the authorities, that there has to be more to it than your ordinary culture of corruption. We have a very strong presence of ex-military retirees, why wouldn't it be feasible that Florida's legal system is buckling from the weight of special favors or arrangements, made for diplomatic reasons? Or because, in the military world, ex-officers have decided that they've earned special consideration based on a merit system that none of us are aware of?

I'm just throwing the thought out, in light of the information that's coming in regarding Robert Zimmerman and his father's CIA connections (assuming they're true.) That would explain why Norm Wolfinger would take a personal interest in the shooting, and, also, why we may never be allowed to understand how that came to pass.

I'm just glad that the Martins are requesting a special investigation into the State Attorney's Office. They're doing us all a favor.

The longer we delay, the more time they get to come up with a security reason to tamp down the info.

Also, remember when the Sanford Commission feared he would be a flight risk?
