and more distortions:
ABC News reported last week that Sanford police detective Chris Serino, unconvinced by Zimmerman’s story of self-defense, wanted to charge him with manslaughter, but was overruled by Wolfinger’s office.
A separate report by news website TheGrio.com, unconfirmed by Reuters, said
Wolfinger left his home the Sunday night of the shooting to meet with Sanford police in person.
Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the Martin family, asked the Justice Department in a letter on Monday to investigate those reports. Though the letter reported the events without attribution, Crump told Reuters his information came from the media reports and he did not have independent verification.
Wolfinger had declined all comment since removing himself from the case on March 22, but fired back in a statement on Monday.
“I am outraged by the outright lies contained in the letter by Benjamin Crump,†Wolfinger said.
“I encourage the Justice Department to investigate and document that no such meeting or communication occurred.â€
Wolfinger said last month he removed himself from the case in the hope of “toning down the rhetoric.â€
