Day 21 (Week #5) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 9, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/09/2013 4:51:37 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

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.

This correlates to the the persecution’s ME in a very important way: Both say the hoodie was away from the body at the time of the gunshot, indicating Skittles thug was on top. The argument is about how much and that’s not all that important, that I can see.

It will be interesting to see the 105 IQ prosecutor attempt to cross examine this expert witness.

Sunny Hostin? You can ignore anything she says. She is completely pro prosecution. Mark Geragos hauled her rump to the woodshed last night on 360. It was hilarious!!

I am anxiously awaiting the cross as well.

Take note, this DR does not need notes for his testimony.

I’m totally engaged in this testimony.

The “Self-Defense” defense covers both charges, manslaughter as well as murder.

It is there so that at closing remarks the prosecution can cite their ME and say that if it was .4 then could Dr DeMaio be wrong — blah blah blah

Honest answer: I don’t know. Was just hoping moe was right. Maybe he can elaborate.

I heard him say that Martin was leaning over (he leaned forward to demonstrate as he said this) the person who shot him while he was being shot. I don’t remember his exact wording, but it was close to that. It was a very definitive thing that the jurors could grasp. It was good!

Lunch recess...for me! If I don’t get payroll done, I’ll have my own riot to contend with.
