Justice Slowed is Still Not Justice Denied

I'm really pleased to see that Trayvon Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, has now been arrested and charged with 2nd Degree Murder.  I want to say that I'm fine with the police taking a long time to do this (though I don't really understand the delay)- it's not in the cause of justice to rush to judgment, and I always think of things like the Duke Lacrosse Team scandal when the public is out for blood.

I'll be interested to see how the trial turns out.  I remain open to the possibility that some new information will give this case a new twist, but here's something to keep in mind: Zimmerman seems like a very dangerous man, and having him off the streets definitely makes those streets safer.
