Day 21 (Week #5) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 9, 2013 | Sundance

[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.

Did the defense really expect that daddy gang banger would NOT lie? He’s only in it for the money and so far is making out pretty well.

Live threads are a venerable tradition on FR. We enjoy sharing our thoughts, opinions and knowledge related to events as they unfold. The live threads can also be useful to those who cannot see the event itself, but look to the thread for updates on what is happening.

Though we may be “like minded” we are still individuals with unique insights and perceptions. Mutual respect should be shown in the way we react to each other.

A certain amount of “rough and tumble” goes with the territory. But, there needs to be a limit, especially on the live threads.. After all, isn’t self-restraint a virtue that conservatism promotes?

OK so TM basically said the officers are lying, does that sound familiar? Reminds me of the OJ trial and putting the officers on trial.

I am hoping the toxicology report turns up traces of amyl nitrate.

Yeah but they nailed him on the depo. He’s reduced to “I lied under oath about the depo but not the cops”.

I would be surprised to see them finish on Wednesday. They still need to make it absolutely crystal clear to the world that Trashcan ran the length of a football field to the house where he was staying and back again to ambush George from the shadows. Any talk of “who was screaming” has got to be pushed off the front page once and for all.

I don’t agree with this

I think something has happened behind the scenes -such as a sidebar that has tied MOM’s hands. He was carefully constructing his sentences when questioning Lee after a lengthy sidebar

Present and ready to go!

[RummyChick]

there is a video on that site in the comments showing the Vet in the courtroom on Day 3.

Word yesterday was 23 - 26 witnesses to be called. No way it wraps Wednesday.

How quickly will he get Crump on the stand? How deeply will he dig into the jiggery pokery that even created this fiasco?

Answers I am hoping for:

1. Soon
2. Very
