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.

The state said yesterday that defense witness John Donnelly was in court though witnesses had been sequestered. #Zimmermanon9
What vet in the courtroom? Sorry to be obtuse. I have no audio ...
WTF TV. Defense witness John Donnelly was in court though witness ad been sequestered. WTF checked found him in public seating June 25 and June 26. Showing oictures
The witness was asked about storage of forensic samples.
Apparently, the samples taken after TM was shot were put into plastic bags. The materials were wet and the plastic bags would not allow the samples to dry out. Instead, any bacteria and molds etc. on the wet samples will destroy any organic materials, DNA etc.
He stated that any samples should be put into paper bags so they can dry out and not rot and decay.
So far it's only his credentials and background. West is questioning. Has published 88 articles. 13 book chapters and 4 books
Discussion of packaging. Must be in paper. Well known for thirty years
Now more info on the witnesses pedigree. Books written, posts held....
88 papers and 4 books published..
Establishing credentials... which seem impeccable
They can't. They could only cross the creator of the animation.
we already knew this about the Vet this morning...not sure what will happen to the testimony..but the Jury already heard it.
there goes donnelly’s testimony.
but i think his impact was more emotional than anything else and in that sense the bell is already rung
These blasted professionals and experts are showing exactly one reason kids don’t learn in school. Forensic pathology is so fascinating and he has the opportunity to educate the jury (and the world) exactly what’s going on and instead he’s so freaking monotone, it’s painfully boring, even to me and me and investigations are my field. He sounds just like a boooorrriinnggg old man professor or teacher.... Good grief! Have a little passion about what you do.
Omg, they just said was a professor..... Holy Heck, his poor students!
Ok, rant off.... It’s just a pet peeve of mine as a former educator also...
I’ll guess the plan is to impeach Bao, at least his asinine comment about how TM was in pain and suffering for a long while before he died.
I think that this is the key question by the defense that would destroy what remains of the prosecution case. Recall the person to whom GZ gave his name, telephone # and location and ask the following:
“”Have you ever had someone who is planning and subsequently commits a crime call you in advance to give police his name, number and location?”
Even if an objection is sustained, the jury would hear and react to the question. Game, set, match.
You have to wonder why they were put in plastic.
The Vet?
How on earth could the defense let that happen?
Pros. brought up that he thought witness was in room yesterday during the Richardson hearing
