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.

Well...she had been a bit better yesterday..I thought maybe someone had talked to her about her demeanor
Judge is fed up with this as the state wants 45 minutes for cross. Will taked up later today. The state clearly does not want this guy’s animation in evidence.
Seems like they could have handled this hearing better, schedule wise. I agree with the call that Debbie made at this point.
She is right about bringing the jury back in..they can do this later..but she is so pissy about it.
There’s a FR thread that gives lots of info, including acronyms, IIRC. I still have to check it out. Hopefully, someone will ping you with the most updated version. This trial is hugh and series, don’t you think? hehehehe
Sorry for the sidebar. Now back to the show.
You haven’t missed anything. The jury is now coming in and the first witness will be called.
Yep, but in this case the jury was not in there to hear this entire testimony/back story.
Amen!
Hmmmm. I notice deb has her hair pulled back today. Probably hurts, could impact the defense.
Yes. Roll her over and see.
She has another side?
Did you catch her snarky comment about being there late last night, when she didn’t have to be - jeez, is that not her job?!
All those prop/exhibits are crazy expensive.
You’d think they’d be a little cheaper these days with so much more digital art available, or simpler animation apps in this case.
Imagine if he had gotten there yesterday after court..because he was on his way.
It could have been handled better.
MOM should have told her how long it was going to take
WFTV saying the State could have afforded this
Prosecution often brings in innovative things and cites an example about DNA
I thought I heard yesterday or possibly Friday that the court needed to warm up the projector whenever they wanted to use it and that took a few minutes. Hmm what else. Schumacher is using a Mac which implies the animation is in Quicktime. Quicktime player runs on a Windows computer too, if it is installed— if not, it needs to be installed. Installing it requires admin privileges, and court computers might be locked down to try to prevent windows viruses.
Why doesn’t the prosecution have an animation? This is making the prosecution look bad, very bad. I for one would welcome a prosecution animation that provides the prosecution scenario, which to my mind remains almost unintelligible.
Siigghhhhh
Judge Meat Loaf probably has a tee time with Barack at 4:00.
GZ website says they asked their witnesses to take a cut in fees.
This could lead to a lot more business for this guy, for sure..
I wonder about the intelligence of the jury? Can you imagine if they are of the same level as that moron Jeantal. They would not have a clue as to what this dude is talking about.
Someone once said that our form of government was designed for an intelligent populace. Somehow, some of the players in kangaroo court just don’t seem to raise to the level of what one would expect in a civilized society. It truly is a sad reflection of what our Country has devolved into.
