Zimmerman prosecutor has history of going after critics
Yesterday I posted about how Alan Dershowitz alleged that Zimmerman prosecutor Angela Corey called up Harvard Law School complaining about Dershowitz and treatening to sue for libel based on Dershowitz’s criticisms of her handling of the case.
The whole incident seemed strange, and reflected conduct that should be off limits for any prosecutor and certainly for a senior prosecutor on a high profile case.
It appears, however, that the Dershowitz incident was no isolated incident. According to Ron Littlepage, a columnist for the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union, Corey has done this several times before:
Last December when I wrote a column critical of how she handled the Cristian Fernandez case, she fired off a two-page, single-spaced letter on official state attorney letterhead hinting at lawsuits for libel.
In the letter, she called me out for my “lack of knowledge and objectivity about the workings of the criminal justice system.” Ouch. I think she called me stupid….
Then there’s Corey’s spat with Sandy D’Alemberte.
D’Alemberte is a former president of the American Bar Association, a former president of Florida State University and a law professor — not too shabby in the legal credentials department.
When Corey was appointed to head up the investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, D’Alemberte had this to say:
“I cannot imagine a worse choice for a prosecutor to serve in the Sanford case. There is nothing in Angela Corey’s background that suits her for the task, and she cannot command the respect of people who care about justice.”
Earlier, D’Alemberte had criticized Corey in the Fernandez case. The reaction then: A public records request from her office to FSU seeking all emails, text messages and phone messages involving D’Alemberte related to Fernandez.
Then there was this:

Was Corey a cellmate of Kimberlin?

Me thinks Angela Corey may be somewhat liberal. If you don’t agree with her then you’re sub-human.

Flop sweat. She knows her case is a farce. You don’t spend 40 minutes throwing a temper tantrum at a third party if you know you’re on solid ground. She needs to mix some liquid codeine, Skittles and an Arizona Watermelon Juice, sip it and relax.

Tell her to go screw herself, then report her to the Florida bar.

Seems like she would be real easy to set up with a hidden camera. Where’s whats-his-name from Breitbart?

There will be trauma in the streets when this is over. Nobody will see the law as its written cuz it was a “white man”. Law means nothing when you actually see the democratic(by definition, mob rule) show its fangs. This man will be convicted or innocent people and businesses will be beaten, burned, and killed…..sad.

@Troy: “Both skin thinned beotches.”
And both in positions of power over the lives of others. Scary.

Time for Corey to join up with Ray Nifong. Seems about the same professionally and ethically.
