Veteran attorney Hal Uhrig joins Zimmerman's defense team (Zimmerman passed a voice stress test)
The Orlando Sentinel ^ | April 3, 2012 | Rene Stutzman

Veteran Orlando-area criminal defense attorney Hal Uhrig today announced he's joining George Zimmerman's defense team.

He told WOFL-Channel 35 that he's confident that Zimmerman acted in self-defense when he shot Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in Sanford Feb. 26.

Zimmerman passed a voice stress test, something similar to a lie detector test, that was administered by Sanford police, Uhrig told WOFL on its 6 p.m. newscast.

Uhrig is the senior partner at The Defense Group...

I wouldn’t mind so all the evidence can come out and it can be shoved up the arses of idiots like Sharpton, Jackson, NBC, MSNBC and the Black Panthers. All of them the true racists in this story.

Oprah is going to be po’d.

So are a bunch of other “stars” who have loaned their name to this. Most of them looking for press since they are mostly unknowns to most people including to me!

Still waiting for an autopsy/toxicology report to become public. That should tell us where this case will end up going.

I know LE in the Orlando area. Zimmerman will not be arrested for murder. As it should be. Martin was a fool for jumping him. Zimmerman fired his LEGAL concealed weapon out of fear for his life. I would bet Trayvon was even making a move on his gun. Meanwhile, 2 black young men attacked a motorist in Sanford with a hammer and stole his car yesterday. And you’ll never hear a word about it in the LSM.

My understanding from cboldt is that the State prosecutor will probably provide a report with statements, evidence noted if she decides not to take it to court.

But would you mind paying the tab for Zimmerman’s defense?

Where’s he supposed to get the money to shut up a bunch of useless black racists?

What if he gets a few of our local idiot FReepers on his jury?

Why should anyone be forced to defend themselves with their money and freedom at risk when no crime was even committed?

Get ready for SHTF time. The Obamabots want blood and don’t care about facts.

Went the link and saw another story about the 2 Sons Of Bam Bam (from here on in known as SOBs) that carjacked the 50 yr old White guy and beat him into a coma with a hammer. Race wasn’t mentioned...period.
Similar thing happened to a friend of mine. Auto shop teacher beaten into a coma with a sledge hammer by 2 student SOBs. Local naacp came out in support of the poor children who must’ve been provoked to do
it and since they missed some of his money and didn’t take it all robbery wasn’t the motive.
The head of the local naacp said that it wasn’t a hate crime but if the races were reversed it would have been.

The more I read about this, the only thing I can post without “abuse buttoning” myself is BACKLASH.

As I understand it a lot of people have already donated money to his defense. But I was just saying it would be good to have all the evidence come out instead of this constant one-sided crap that is constantly played out in the press every single day. The MSM wants to public to think he is a white skinhead who saw a black kid, walked up to him and shot him just because he was black, and the cops won’t arrest him because he is white. What a trial would do would show the public the real story.

Well, I fully understand what you are saying regarding the media narrative on this, it is utter bullspit, and it absolutely needs to be resolved.

However, a trial costs a lot of money, both to the defendant and the tax payers.

But I want to primarily focus on the defendant. It is very fortunate that enough people have seen through the media BS and decided to donate to a defense fund for this man, but what if they did not?

What if it was me or you, and the US media made us enemies of every person in this country via a campaign of lies, and all we had was our weekly paycheck to attempt to defend ourselves, and on top of that, we can’t even get our weekly paychack, because the mother ****ing Black Panthers put a hit out on us, and the department of Black Just Us didn’t do a damn thing about it?

Now Mr. Zimmerman has to pay a TEAM of lawyers, very expensive lawyers, that charge for every single minute of every single thing they do to 1. keep him alive by representing him against character assassins and real assasisns and 2. keep him out of jail where he will die without a doubt.

On top of that, he must now face the ordeal of a potential grand jury indictment and a potenital jury trial in which God knows how many race zombie media poison fed idiots could end up on and decide the outcome of his life all because a POS black president wants to get re-elecetd and decided to whip his people into a frenzy over a dead thug who ****in’-A deserved to get shot dead.

You know, if I was George Zimmerman, no if I was chris37, I would never go anywhere around black people again, because God knows how your life could fall apart completely as a result of doing so, as a result of reporting one for being suspicious or even as a result of being a 50 year old white guy in Sanford FL who gets beaten with a HAMMER...avoid them.

Personally, I do not care if any of these parasites ever get any answer they want, screw them, to Hell with them, it is time to leave George Zimmerman alone!

Sorry, don’t mean to come off like I did, but man this thing infuriates me >_<

Hal Uhrig and the other lawyers that are signing up to defend Zimmerman smell blood in the water - that translates to $$$.

They’re going to get a number of “undisclosed settlements” from various players like NBC without it ever going to court. Remember Spike Lee, more cash... And there are plenty of others...

After the Duke Lacrosse fiasco, why is it that Jackson and Sharpton have any remaining credibility? I really don’t understand it.
