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.

He’ll use this in closing argument if not allowed as evidence

It’s all just for show, apparently. She had to put up at least the “appearance” of impartiality. It didn’t fool me for a NY second.

>> So it’s probably been a waste of time.

Maybe.

My bet is, she’ll allow the defense to use it during their closing argument.

Actually, keeping one ear to the courtroom action: she has a (legal) point with her concern that the jury could apparently take it into the deliberation room and play it “over and over” and thus make the animation the “bible” of the actual events.

I suppose the jury could do what we used to do when I was little and make flip-book drawings.

I suppose so. Closing argument admission is better than nothing. We’ll see.

apparently common sense is ruled out

the prosecution could have brought in their own animation

... but that does not go back to the jury room

... that they can play over and over and over again

judge

gives a certain weight that this court does not necessarily
feel comports with the weight of the evidence blah blah

Pierce is the only Florida case

GM versus someone is a civil case

Pierce:

demonstrative exhibit

when they are clear they should be accepted and when they are confusing they should be rejected

I think the state feels the defense could have slipped something into this animation which could tip the scale just enough by watching it and there is no control over the whole package. They can only pick apart things seperately and create doubt. There is probably strong reluctance for the judge to allow it.

Pretty gutsy. I will go ahead and agree. This thing is getting a fair hearing and in the future, it will be more and more of an issue.
