Is the FL prosecutor preparing a case against Zimmerman for the grand jury?

I have heard nothing about this. Am really worried that the prosecution is going to present little to nothing and Zimmerman won't get indicted.

If there is not enough evidence to arrest Zimmerman, then how could the grand jury indict him?

As the saying goes, any competent DA could get a ham sandwich indicted.

While some here on DU are still posting wild inflated claims about the Zimmerman and the Martin shooting, the facts we have at this point should give the State Attorney more than enough for an arrest. That he not been arrested is more than curious.
