The original prosecutor it covering it up.
The police chief is wrong and covering it up.
I don't completely rule those out. The police won't look as bad in the end for
seemingly having done nothing early on if Zimmerman is acquitted. They can say "See, that's why we didn't do what you thought we should have. We knew the shooting was justified".
Would they risk the ensuing PR nightmare, unemployment, and possible jail time? I don't know, but people have been known to risk more for far less potential benefit.
