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 black city manager of Sanford testified that they excluded police and did not tape the playing of the 911 call for the family. Former police chief (fired for not arresting Z) testified that this city manager refused to allow police into this meeting to witness the playing of the tape.
The manager was angry, clearly angry. He scowled and looked furious.
Is this about the 90’s when Snapple was supporting the gay agenda and conservatives boycotted?
Sorry to butt in
False arrest at a minimum........malicious prosecution seems more fitting.
The ME when was given the flashlight by Bernie, started laughing and said it was plastic and not a weapon.
Ugh. Ashleigh just called Bernie “a great prosecutor”.
Listening to these two WTF TV morons is like being punched in the nose and having your head slammed on the sidewalk.
Too bad I don’t have a Keltec-9.
>> Is it against the law to not have LE in this kind of setting?
Unknown. My guess is, it’s not illegal. It could really taint legal testimony, however.
No, we were remembering when Rush used to advertise snapple.
>> ” dxmn popcorn” Do you wash that down with Purple Drank?
Ew... not where I hang out. I prefer a nice porter or oatmeal stout!
And the town of Sanford actually pays this idiot Bonaparte to “manage” Sanford (while actually financially destroying it)?
had to compromise for next witness
I thought when Bernie introduced the trees, maybe their case would come into focus. It did not, at least for me.
No worries! I just read it and thot: As IF (we need more lightening up around here today). LOL!
lol, yes, it was Francis.

Florida law defines manslaughter as:
The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification... and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder, according to the provisions of this chapter, is manslaughter, a felony of the second degree.
Manslaughter is basically murder without intent, and can be charged in cases where mere negligence is involved, including vehicular manslaughter, which occurs when a drunk driver causes an accident that results in death. Manslaughter includes penalties that can include decades of prison time, but there is no possibility of the death penalty under such a charge.
Regardless of what your specific charge may be, an arrest or indictment for homicide is the most serious criminal charge a defendant can face. As such, your very life may depend on your ability to work with an experienced, accomplished Tampa Bay criminal defense attorney. Attorney Michael D. Fluke has represented more than a dozen individuals on Homicide cases. If you are charged or think you may be charged or investigated in a homicide case Contact a Tampa Bay criminal defense attorney at Michael D. Fluke, P.A. immediately.
I don’t know how you get manslaughter from this case. GZ definitely intended to inflict death or serious bodily harm. If he was justified in shooting, because he had a reasonable fear of immediate danger, then he’s not guilty because it’s self defense. If he was not justified in shooting, because he any fear of immediate danger was not reasonable, then he’s guilty of second degree murder. Manslaughter makes no sense at all.
Who is it RC?
no but its highly irresponsible...
dont know yet
