Day 21 (Week #5) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 9, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/09/2013 4:51:37 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, July 9th, is DAY #21 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Yesterday was the first full day of defense witnesses. Perhaps the most significant of the first set were the two police officers who stated Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, said on 2/28/12 the cries for help on the 911 calls were NOT Trayvon. Later in the day Tracy Martin took the stand and essentially said the two detectives were lying. A great analysis of the events from yesterday is available HERE.

What additionally strikes as important to us is the first signs of desperation from the original nucleus of the Scheme Team construct, Benjamin Crump and Daryl Parks – attorneys for the Martin family. Parks appeared on Piers Morgan show last night and the video should be watched by anyone who knows how the scheme was constructed.

We accept that Mark O’Mara is conflicted in this case, and he is trying to walk a fine line between presenting a defense to a case built on political pressure and outright fraud; Yet simultaneously avoiding exposition of both the politics and the fraud itself.

The intentionally avoided open doors exposing the fraud creates anxiety for those of us who know what is inside the room he is avoiding. Our prayers are that his passing those wide open doors is based on prudence [within an unknown strategy]. However, our fear is the hasty and politically correct avoidance might cause him to pass by the room holding the key to George Zimmerman’s ultimate ‘long-term’ freedom.

It should be noted the NAACP Annual National Convention starts in Orlando on Friday; Additionally, preparations are being made in/around Miami-Dade for a Wednesday defense wrap up with a community/LEO preparation meeting today.

CV is curriculum vitae, it’s a summary of one’s education, professional history, and job qualifications, similar to an abbreviated resume.

Nobody feel bad for the prosecution, if Marsha Clark can bungle a high profile case and make money on tv, these prosecutors can do the same.

Corey will go on to be an appellate judge or run for AG.

Bondi will end up in a Trump pagent.

Comment From Georgia Blogger
RE: Donnely....Apparently he wasn’t under subpoena, wasn’t on the witness list, so the rule of sequester did not affect him. The State let him testify without asking if he had been in the courtroom or objecting to the fact that he had , so I’m thinking the State waived that objection since they didn’t raise it at that time. They knew he was a witness who had just come forward two days before, because they demanded a Richardson Hearing.

Martin’s father, if he said the police are lying, is by his same standard, lying. He said his words were something to the effect, “I can’t tell.” One officer described that as a “no” and another that he didn’t identify the voice as Trayvon Martin’s. Those are not “lies” on the part of those officers. They are not verbatim reports, perhaps, but they all THREE agree that he did not identify the voice as Trayvon Martin’s voice.

If their summarizing his “failure to identify” as a “no” is a lie, then his summarizing their “conclusion in the negative” is a lie.

The bottom line is that Tracy Martin agrees that he wasn’t able to identify that voice as Trayvon Martin UNTIL he was in a GROUP session where everyone was agreeing it was Trayvon Martin.

O’Mara, I believe, in questioning the police chief on that found out that it is not acceptable practice to get “groupthink” on a subject, but instead to have individuals one-at-a-time make an identification.

Photo shows discharge against clothing. Muzzle was in contact - agree with firearms expert

Wound to chest shows two inch “powder tatooing”

There is specific Fla law that allows parents of the victim to be present. This was argued before opening statements. Seems all wrong, but it is "legal."

Omara knew what to do in that case. He used the fact that TraydDad saw all the testimony to gaslight him into admitting Lil' St. Skittles spent time in the Juvie and had run-ins with the law. IOW, Defense twisted that little loophole to their advantage.

I guess if you are the Prosecution (and by that I include the MSM), when you don't have much of a case, you have to grab for any 'straw' you can get.

George's Uncle's testimony was opinion and emotion. If I was a jury, I would not give it any more 'weight' than say, Sybrina Fulton's claim it was Trayvon.

What ever happened to her....she seemed like a pretty good actress (Bridget Fonda).

I think she retired off of her fitness videos and residuals from Barbarella.

Re the dull/boring professional testimony (or lecture)...obviously some things are of necessity “dull/boring.” I think some blame, if you will, is on society in general for not fostering an interest in certain things that require deeper thinking, paying more attention, and so forth. As it is now, too many citizens just want to get to the gory pics. JMHO

Di Maio said the two most important pieces of evidence are....

I.m surprised there was not an objection. Surely the MOST important piece of evidence was COREY’s decision to prosecute for no reason other than political gain.

Bill Sheaffer:
DiMaio testified in Peterson trial: “my opinion is in all medical probability, it’s an accident. I concluded the death was an accident due to slipping and striking the back of the head.

The jury is paying very close attention to his testimony using the photo of the gun wound. They are taking notes. #Zimmermanon9
