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.

Curiouser and curiouser.
Now it remains to be seen if the defense is on their toes, and smack the state with it.
Good grief I’m online with a bunch of dopers. Lol. Closest I got was living in the Bay Area in 1969. Some one brought brownies to the pitch in at work. I probably was the only person in CA who was clueless to what they were talking about Love Chocolate Have never been so sick. Never had a desire to use anything after that. Moved back to the Midwest where friends don’t pull that type of thing!
right!? :) And yet....the mundane-ness of leasing office space :|
Uhh Huh -- Okay!!
I kind of understand - the testimony is very boring - technical to the nth.
The kind of stuff that will put a jury to sleep.
jury doesn’t have to hear all of this...so it’s okay
Judge Tool must be somewhat impressed with Animation Man. We haven't seen much in the way of gracious behavior from her to date, particularly for a defense witness.
just so everyone knows, they mentioned amyl nitrate in the trial earlier. You can buy it at convenience stores and it has a propensity to make you violent.
We were chatting about whether TM was on it hence the discussion going in that direction and wanting to know what it is.
Just like in the movies -- just before the big chase scene.
More technical difficulties in the courtroom —
How convenient for the prosecution
Bill Sheaffer:
Guest; that is a good question. It is not normal— but because the law changed mid stream, we have this change in standards.

Comment From Guest
These 3 D simulations have been used I major fedral court trials. However the question ishas this particular program been admitted for trial purposes. Bill do you know if it has been admitted as good science before?
“Love Mantei’s expression: “There goes my law career!””
Good! That’s the way it should be in a just world.
CALL TECH SUPPORT. They can’t get the animation up and running. How did that happen ?
Got it!! Thanks for that.. I understand it now, I don’t know how to do it but I don’t think I would ever use it. It was buggin me though that’s for sure!
What is the Rodney king or Mississippi burning maneuver?? I never saw the movie and only know the basics of the Rodney king story..

Lol thanks for the break down!! I’m a newb and some of these acronyms have me on google every 10 minutes!!!!
The prosecutor keeps his eyebrows raised and forehead fully wrinkled to prevent his eyes from closing in full sleep mode.
