While watching George Zimmerman's immunity hearing online in late April 2013, Chip Bennett took satisfaction seeing Florida prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda flail away at the one blog that has given him fits from the beginning. "BDLR alleges that The Conservative Treehouse doxed Witness 8," Bennett commented. "Double shot!"

If anyone is a criminal lawyer can you explain why Barry's comment wouldn't be grounds for a mistrial? I mean the president weighs in on a case on national media, so any jury would be potentially prejudiced either for or against Zimmerman.
I remember another case like that, State of California vs. Manson.
We're supposed to believe that's the only explanation for his headset falling off?
“On the 911 call from Witness #11 one hears in the background forty-two seconds of screaming. The man on the tape yells “help” over and over.”
Good point. Has there EVER been a case where someone who’s had a gun pointed at them just began screaming and screaming for 42 seconds?
Typically that person will 1. Shut up., 2. Plead with the person with the gun, 3. Run away.
So we’re supposed to believe he’s screaming “help help help he has a gun! Help Help Help! He’s pointing a gun at me! A Gun! Help Help!” ??
It’s twue, it’s twue.
Perhaps Mr. Zimmerman will be released and his political trial tossed into the dumpster about the time the anti-Mohammed video producer is released.
Looks like it’ll be a long term in that case. Should the producer of the anti-muzzie video be sued since “he should have known” that it would cause riots and the eventual death of someone? (lib think!)
Importantly, Crump is not a “court officer” in this trial, so the judge has refused for him to be examined by the defense, even after obviously conspiring with the woman to tamper with the jury.
So the best bet might be a civil suit directed at Crump and the woman, which could be used to force legal discovery on both of them, which might overcome his pretensions of being her legal counsel.
While she might refuse to testify in the lawsuit using the 5th Amendment, which is not usually done, it would expose her as an adult, and make her a public figure, so none of her false evidence could be used by the prosecution.
Since Crump made the statements public, they are not protected as such by the attorney client privilege, so indirect evidence that they are blatant lies could really slap them both.
I’d like to slap the both. LOL!
I’m surprised that our munificent government didn’t hand the video maker over to the gaggle of Muslim fanatics in order that he be stoned, hanged, shot and beheaded.
Unless Zimmerman’s lawyers make a huge mistake during jury selection his trials will end in hung juries.And after the second or third hung jury in Florida Attorney Corporal Holder will weigh in on the issue.
Since Dear Leader who was elected with 94% of the black vote and he has weighed in on this case against the defendant, I think blacks should be excluded from the jury entirely.
To counterbalance that so should all white hispanics just to be fair — even though GZ is entitled to a jury of his peers.
Now let’s start from there and find a fair jury.
