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.

If there are six fully functioning brains, then not guilty. I am not confident of that. I wish I could be; I'm just nor
So, hung jury - mistrial.
LOL

One thing that is unsual in this case. Neither Prosecution or Defense has no known friends or associates of TM.
There had to be a circle of people that knew TM in his neighborhood that could attest to his integrety good or bad!
Noted that TM was not the one on trial but I would suggest someone knew him other than 2 women and his parents.
Yeah, I agree...it definitely wouldn’t be worth it to do that.....Hopefully nothing comes of this then.
Dolt on WTFTV channel 9 just said he CAN’T see a Not Guilty result.
Good gawd. . .these people are hopeless.
Orginally “thought” to be racially motivated...hence, FBI.
how you feel about women’s ability to think compartmentally,...Compartmentally? Shheeeesh.
MOM said he had called his last witness. No venue to introduce any additional evidence
Bill Schaeffer WFT saying the strongest evidence for the state is Rachel Jeantel.
More fodder for the riot. Everyone knew that Zim was guilty except the racist jury.
The rule of witness sequestration is not an absolute rule which must be invoked at the mere request of counsel. The trial judge is endowed with a sound judicial discretion to decide whether particular prospective witnesses should be excluded from the sequestration rule.” Randolph v. State, 463 So.2d 186, 191 (Fla.1984).
John Donnelly was the Vietnam combat vet that positively identified Zimmerman on the tape. The defense needs to get his testtimony thrown out because it will hard for any jury member to disregard it. It was the most powerful testimony of the trial. By the way why didn’t George’s father take the stand and identify his son’s voice? I’ve seen the tape of him. He positively identifies the voice as George’s.
If the jury truly gets the requirements, NOT GUILTY will be returned. I'm still not clear on whether the jury could return with a manslaughter verdict or not.
I heard GretaVanSustern say last night she thought bringing up toxicology would be a bad idea....she felt tainting TM would not go well with the jury...and she wished they just kept it at ‘this was a bad accident.’
They cannot hide their bias.
Can you just believe that? Also saying he can not see the jury returning a not guilty verdict. I am living in an alternate universe.
“Bill Schaeffer WFT saying the strongest evidence for the state is Rachel Jeantel.”
Then they are well and truly screwed.
They put Zim’s mom on the stand because she was a person of color. Otherwise, they wanted non-family to identify the voice.
Animation guy Shoemaker is now being grilled by Mantei.
That's not saying much for the state's case!
