Tornado Alley (PROG)

so what's your opinion on why he wasn't charged?

As I was saying to Peg, arresting just means physically taking someone into custody, for a minute or an hour or a day. It's what police officers do.

Charging is the filing of court papers by the prosecutor who reviews the police info and decides if it's sufficient. If it's not sufficient, the person arrested is let go.

It can't happen simultaneously and it doesn't have to happen consecutively, which is what I think is occurring in this situation.

The police are investigating what happened, Zimmerman may still be charged.
