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.

I’m just watching Greta on FOX. Four pundits, attorneys and retired detective discussing the issue of whether there could have been “reasonable fear of grave bodily harm or death.” I have seen this over and over again, no one ever mentions Zimmerman’s statements that Trayvon side, “you’re going to die tonight $%^&*(!.” Zimmerman also said that he believed Trayvon was going down his side toward his weapon. None of the “talking heads” ever mention these two issue when discussing the “fear factor.”
Judge got up and walked out without any decisions tonight.
>> Is there something known about the juror from Chicago that you all think would make her the bleeding heart on the jury?
In my case, it’s total speculation based on reading about her here: http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/06/meet-the-zimmerman-trial-jurors/
I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
Thanks for that...I hope so!
Judge Judy uses them all the time. Judy...call her.
<< Seems to me, if the state (and judge) doesn’t want the evidence heard, they should have to prove that it was NOT Trayvon using his own phone. It’s not like it would be that difficult. They know how damning this evidence will be though. >>
Exactly. Assumed innocent until proven guilty. Assumed using his phone until proven he wasn’t.
Don’t ask me what that means on a deeper level. I have no idea. lol.
She walked out sayin court was adjourned as she slammed the door. Get the picture. West had hit a few blows so it was run run run. Very frustrated. And put in that position by a lying prosecution ( or incompetent )
Spend ten minutes watching Discovery ID, and anyone can see people hauled off to jail based on cell phone records, google searches, etc. etc.
So if this information is good enough to send someone to prison, it sure as heck is good enough to keep someone OUT.
She had to get back to chambers so the DA could draft all the sustained objections briefs are prepared by 8AM.
>> put in that position by a lying prosecution ( or incompetent )
It’s not either/or. It’s both. :-)
interesting paper from doj on electronic evidence. one way of authenticating includes cell towers used to transmit messages may show location of cell phones..

I do not like it but I do not have the power to do anything about it. I will not vote for Scott or Bondi this election, but that is all I can do.
The defense was still doing a presentation and she began giving her opinion on why it couldn’t be authenticated, she even said.....a seven year old can enter a pass code like that they do it all the time. West attempted to explain then she became infuriated, said its over for the night. West got right in her face. She got up and was walking out,Mom said I can’t proceed have no idea who to call, have no time, etc. she said GOOD NIGHT. (Some paraphrased but pretty accurate.)
Not pretty when a judge loses it like that. She is way out of her depth.
AND...it looks as if she plans to throw out Donnelly’s testimony too.
She was ragging on Defense about that before she flounced out.
Yes, she was. She screeched like my Family Court Judge.
Actually I don’t think it is incompetence. The whole thing got to where it is because the witch DA from Jax figured she would file the murder 2, then get him to plead to something less...case closed, feather in her cap. When GZ decided to go the route and managed to hire a great counsel, the DA went so far as to have his bail revoked as they figured he did not have the resources to fight this, got aggravated he did, and then trumped up a perjury charge over his bail filing for failing to list the money which was in a defense fund as an asset.
This whole bunch needs to be put in hell for what they have done to this man. Someone else said it before me, I have no power to do anything about this except to not vote for Scott and Bondi nor that DA if she runs again. If I were king, they would all be in some dark dungeon for the remainder of their days.
