(Miami-Dade County, FL) - The Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board (CRB) and the Miami-Dade Youth Commission will brief the community regarding legal issues in the trial of George Zimmerman for the killing of Miami-Dade teenager Trayvon Martin. Information will also be shared about activities being planned around Miami-Dade county both before and after a verdict is announced. The briefing will take place Tuesday, July 9, 2013 from 6 to 8 p.m. the North Dade Regional Library, 2455 N.W. 183rd Street, Miami, FL 33145.
Representatives of the CRB and the Wilkie D. Ferguson Bar Association will be part of a panel describing the legal issues and procedures. They will also answer questions from community members regarding the trial. Miami-Dade faith leaders, advocates and law enforcement representativeshavealso committed to sharing information about other events and activities that are being planned to engage the public as the trial nears conclusion and once a verdict is announced. The shooting of the unarmed Miami Gardens teenager by a man in Sanford, Florida in February 2012, sparked an outpouring of public comment and large demonstrations across the nation. Tens of thousands of Miami-Dade teenagers took part in rallies and marches around 31 senior and middle schools in the community.
“The tragic death of 17-year-old high school student Trayvon Martin has raised many questions and concerns among young people in the community where he lived,” said Dr. Walter T. Richardson, CRB Chair. “The ongoing legal proceedings against the man accused of killing Trayvon Martin has re-focused back public attention on the case and issues of intense concern to this community. The briefing on the trial will keep our youth and community informed.”
The CRB works to prevent and reduce community tensions and build bridges of mutual understanding, cooperation and respect among our diversepopulations.TheCRB and YouthCommission areworking to promote non-violent responses to the killing of Trayvon Martin and are engaging key organizations and leaders to empower and protect our communities, particularly the youth.
Not only rioting and looting, either. There’s been more than one threat published on social media to go out and kill the first white person they see. I take these threats seriously, because after Zimmerman was charged, blacks did go out and attack whites and scream that “this be for Trayvon”
Through the duplicity of Florida’s Victim’s Family Law. The prosecution is taking egregious liberty with the intent of the law and that fat ass long-haired liberal hippy judge allowed it.
Shirley you jest...
Nothing like thinnin the heard!
They probably will destroy their own neighborhoods, maybe maim or kill some stupid white people who have the unlucky fortune to be there, and that’s about it.
If they make the mistake of venturing into more armed territory, they’ll wish they hadn’t.
It could come as early as Friday, with the Prosecution resting their case, and defense asking the judge to throw out the entire case for lack of evidence of guilt.. Not likely to happen, but it has shown to be a further miscarriage of justice to continue..
Screw that, Lock and Load. Protect your neighbors, friends, property, family, and self. This is no time to turn tail and run. Turning tail and running time and again is how we got to this point.
Stand your Ground!
“Gibs-Me-Dat” (Ebonics) (n.) 1. Annuities, in the form of goods, services, or material (usually welfare checks) given predominately to blacks, in exchange for their tacit agreement to reciprocate by not burning down America’s cities.
Example:
“Yo Trayvon, who you be votin' fo'?”
“I gots to go wit Obama, baby. The democrats be givin out moe betta gibsmedat.”
2. (n) One who accepts said annuities.
Synonymous with: tribute, baksheesh, Danegeld, reparations
They all go home and make signs for their violent protest...no matter which way it goes.
Of course I fell sorry for the parents....They're not responsible for this thug...he was already beyond repair. But I sure as hell don't feel sorry for Tray.
I’ve enjoyed Rick Sanchez’s commentary on it. But he’s not TV news, or even print.
New Orleans cops have been a breed apart. There’s one serving for armed robbery and I believe, murder, right now. One Antoinette something or other.
It scares me because I have to go into some very unsavory neighborhoods for my job.
By law the parents of the deceased are entitled to be in court regardless of their status as potential witnesses. I do not think that Sybrina Fulton will take the stand tomorrow and the prosecution will rest its case.
If Sybrina Fulton takes the stand, the defense may ask her why she didn't immediately contact police when she learned the identity of mystery girlfriend witness #8, some two weeks before investigators. Additional questioning along those lines should reveal the extent to which the Martin/Fulton family tampered with this witness, and suborned her testimony.
That’s insane!
Neither do I. From the Trayvons come the criminals like the man in New Jersey who broke in a woman’s back door and beat her in front of her three yo daughter, then robbed her. It’s a wonder he didn’t rape and kill her, he certainly could have. It was all caught on her nanny cam. This happened in an upscale majority white neighborhood located between two housing project areas.
That would scare me too, and you will be in my prayers. I don’t know how you do it. There are places I won’t even drive through. This just shouldn’t be in the US.
Meant to allow grieving family members to be informed on proceedings against the accused killer of the victim. However, one could query the framers of this law and I’d dare say they never intended it as a mechanism for the grieving family member to become privy to ALL testimony and then TESTIFY themselves.
Completely against the spirit of the law and is a low down dirty trick which this judge should have stopped firsthand.
“when is the verdict expected?”
You mean, when is the guilty verdict expected?
You’re right, they can’t risk the cross examination questions. It would be much more effective for her to save the sob story for after the verdict when she can stand on the steps of the courthouse fueling the riots by screaming “No Justice, No Peace!”
