Angela Corey, George Zimmerman Prosecutor Talks About Trayvon Martin Case Mistake In Exclusive Interview

Florida prosecutor, Angela Corey opened up about what may have gone wrong in their quest for a second-degree murder charge in the George Zimmerman trial in an interview with CBS News.

CBS News: Did you overcharge with second-degree murder?

Angela Corey: I don't think that we overcharged. He killed a young man because he thought he was a criminal. And he should be held accountable for what he did.

CBS News: You wanted accountability. A manslaughter conviction would have put Zimmerman behind bars. So why not push harder for that?

Corey: In hindsight, that might have been something we should have done. We second guess ourselves on we win or don't win - "Gosh, I wish I had done a better job on this or that." It's hard to say what could have changed this verdict.

CBS News: Are you comfortable with George Zimmerman in particular getting his gun back?

Corey: I'm not comfortable with the way George Zimmerman went out in the night armed, looking for someone he believed is dangerous. If they're dangerous enough to call the police, don't get out of your car.

After the Zimmerman verdict came back not guilty, protesters throughout major cities such as: L.A., Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. shown thousands of Trayvon supporters, police force, and blocked off highways and streets filled with people.

President Obama said that he would separate himself from the Department of Justice investigation because his involvement would be inappropriate
