Really ruined a positive image I had of all those Perry Mason shows.
That said, I was always curious why he wasn't all over the delectable Della Street.
I still have the books in my wonderful library and love to reread them regularly.

Today, July 11th, is DAY #23 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
Yesterday the defense rested its case. A legal analysis via Professor Jacobson HERE.
From my perspective the entire case ended, as expected, early in the day yesterday when Judge Nelson gave George Zimmerman his personal Platinum Express DCA Acquittal Card. The ruling, and more importantly the legal determination she used on the ruling, regarding the Trayvon Martin phone evidence was an immediate Nuclear DCA option. Nelson essentially ruled against admissibility based on ”authentication”. She could have kept it out under other legal reasoning, but no, she chose the one without the slightest chance of being upheld by a District Court of Appeals. IMHO this was intentional and aligns itself with the way she has ruled during the pre-trial discovery phase, and during the case itself. She’s a rigid ideologue, but she’s not stupid – this was intentional.
By ruling the phone records (texts and pics from Trayvon) cannot be “authenticated” to have originated by the specific personage of Trayvon Martin just gave the dismissal of the case to George Zimmerman with a bow on it.
As it was carefully explained to me, the phone is like a bucket. The data inside the phone is like marbles in a bucket. Some marbles from calls, others from pictures, others from texts, etc. The State brought the bucket into court – and validated the bucket contents with their own witness from the phone company – Both the State and the defense then began arguing their case around the phone call marbles in the bucket – Primarily with Rachel Jeantel. But no-one challenged the bucket itself. The State authenticated the bucket and the content of the bucket during the introduction.
The defense picks up the same bucket the state hands them, and now begins to use the contents – texts and pictures – and then Nelson rules the bucket itself cannot be authenticated. It doesn’t work that way.
If the state authenticates evidence, it cannot be divided and only authentic when the state holds it, but not the defense. Flawed logic – ABSOLUTELY positioned to give such a prejudicial outcome, the appeal would result in dismissal, not retrial. Nelson gave the case away to George Zimmerman.
She could have ruled on relevance, admissibility, or other factors – but she chose the one destined to fail, “authentication”. She gave it away.
In other news, people are catching on to the Eric Holder, Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Community Relations Service – being the actual puppeteers behind the entire construct of the false case. To them we say “welcome to the party pal“.
No no, not tequila, its the mixer for a margarita, which is a lime juice based mixer you can buy anywhere with no alcohol in it.
My son makes a great BS dish with bacon and melted cheese
Defense closing comments begin at 8:30. Should be sent to the jury after noon.
I just learned that the defense closes tomorrow.
Maybe cooler heads in the black communities will prevail as well. We all need to live together and work out our problems without the violence you see occurring in other countries. Our current administration and race baiters are not helping - only working to make matters much worse so that they can become more important and powerful.

Kewl. That Fairey guy ain’t got nothin’ on you Joe. And thanks again, by the way for all the screen grabs you post. There are some great ones. Bernie doing the Limbo was a classic!
But poor George. My heart goes out to him, his family and friends.
Why did God choose him for a case that could effect any one of us. The right to defend oneself...the right to bear arms...Shakes the very foundation of the Bill of Rights.
Thank you so much for that BykrBayb. A nice rendition. Oh yes, those were the days.
I saw a “different” very early version of Perry Mason. I forgot the actor. But he was indeed involved with Della in this movie or show...P>It was on not to long ago. I’ll see if I can find more.
I am in GA and there's still a lot of gold panning in North GA. I would think the panners would give up panning and look for the source.
Best of luck...keep me advised (so I can follow in your footsteps if you hit a big strike).
I have done a lot of cat ranching in the last few years and while it is fun...it is mostly cash outflow (except for the cats...they are mostly inflow;-).
Ready for a new adventure, but I guess these darn cats will be coming with me.
Hey, long time no see.
Good to see you now, though!
When you locate it, please ping me. I was about to post that Bernie the bat thinks he’s a cross between Kevin Costner and Hamilton Berger!
Yeah...quick as a wink to get da word out, not to mention organize a flash mob. Hope your parents are doing well this evening.
Prosecutors are prosecutors because they are not smart enough to be top flight trial lawyers......that make the big money.
Lil’ Tray Tray though he’d pull a ‘whitey beat-down’ like the ones that have become so in vogue since bro Obongo has been pres, but he got the tables turned on him.
The beat-downs will only get worse until people start arming themselves and standing up to these feral animals.
Oh (self-schmack). I saw the “Cuervo” and automatically thought tequila. I’ll try that. Thanks!
We have a few head of cat at our suburban ranch. Same on the cash outflow/cat inflow thing. I've always wondered about something...what am I supposed to *do* with them? They just get big and start yodeling.
One of my buds did some panning in Alaska several years back. Found a pretty big chunk. He should have saved it...probably over an ounce of pure gold.
