The city manager of Sanford, Fla., says George Zimmerman wasn’t arrested despite his confession that he fatally shot Trayvon Martin because police were legally barred from doing so.
“Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self defense, which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony,” Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. wrote in a letter released publicly Wednesday evening. “By Florida Statute, law enforcement was PROHIBITED from making an arrest based on the facts and circumstances they had at the time.”
