I was impressed by O’Mara’s low key performance. He more than got the job done in a quiet effective manner. Getting the 7-Eleven video before the judge was a master stroke. When the judge sees that video he’s going to have to wonder what was going on with Martin.
Anybody in their right mind seeing Martin’s shuffle and disoriented actions in the 7-Eleven would be on the alert just like the clerk.
I’d like to see O’Mara get a couple of experts to review DeeCee’s statement. The investigator lead her around like a dog. He never explored the fact that the girl was not Martin’s girlfriend or asked her why she didn’t go to the funeral. IIRC she had something more important to do like going shopping.
The answer to why she skipped the funeral is she didn’t really give a crap. Crump though had to use her to pluck heart strings. O’Mara will have fun with her. She admitted in her statement that they were not an item. She also mentioned going to see about her high blood pressure. That was not what her twitters said.
One might get the idea that DeeDee was Martin’s ‘bundler’.
She fenced any goods he stole, and provided new leads for drug sales. All in a very informal way, or course, with all due respect to the black ‘drug’ culture.
And I expect that the 7-Eleven video will speak volumes as to TM's mindset that night.
There are laws against wearing hoodies in Florida but there he is. And he is rocking back and forth like he's on something. The clerk is watching him as if he expected him to pull out a weapon at any moment.
And that photobutton on the sweatshirt was found in his pocket. Why was it in his pocket??? His taking it off and putting it in his pocket to keep it safe from his expected confrontation shows premeditation on his part -- big time.
And he asks the clerk for something behind the counter and the clerk refuses to sell it to him. What was it -- something else illegal for him to have.
And he definitely looks like he's taller than 5'11" and probably was. The autopsy did not say that he was 5'11" Tall. It said that he was 5'11" Long. He was taller in life than he was longer in death. That video shows someone 6 foot or taller.
And I hope the police tested that can of Arizona Juice for GZ's blood. It was probably used as the weapon that opened the gash on the back of his head.
I'll bet that clerk is on the witness list. I hope he stays safe.
And as far as DeeDee, if she actually thought TM was in danger that night, why didn't she call 911, or call him the next morning to see if he was all right, or the day after or the day after, or the police or his parents or anybody. She wasn't worried about him because she knew that he was a good fighter and could take care of himself. It's possible that TM told DD that he was going to beat GZ down and teach him a lesson and when he didn't call back she decided to lay low lest she be dragged into it.
And from what I understand the phone records of TM's and DeeDee phones don't line up. That's Crump's doing.
