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, Trayvons 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 OMara 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 Zimmermans 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.

Riveting testimony today. This man just saved George. There is no coming back for the prosecution, although I will be back to see them try.
HA!
Just more evidence, imho, that the entire world has gone mad!
I’m reading comments on my feed that keep repeating that ‘they’ can get anyone to say what they want. Hello, does perjury not enter their pea brains?
Still can’t believe I’m sitting here watching the entire trial while immigration hangs in the balance as well as Egypt labeling our _resident a supporter of terrorists!
Are expert witnesses sworn in in the same way as regular witnesses in the US courts?
My guess is right after Crump...say Thursday. This is about damaging ALL of the State’s witnesses.
I loved the point he made about George’s nose. Nose was not swollen, as swelling will not go away that quickly. Bone was deformed and visible, then pushed back. Nose was broken beyond any doubt.
“its not the video (for me)!!! Its this frickin thread!”
LOL! Admit it. You’re an addict....just like the rest of us. Is there a rehab for Freeper addiction? If so, I’m never going there.
Worth twice that amount for his credibility, skillful testimony and expert knowledge.
WTF TV channel 9 is trying to make a point he was being paid to be there. . .like that is some sort of impeachable offense. The man testifies to facts.
The state’s witnesses get their paycheck to testify, too.
I think she ended up in the South Pacific.
Page mark.
“open container”
FWIW, I’d say slamming a cottage cheese container four or five times against the ground will open the container.
The desire for the jury to give something to TM's mother will be very hard to overcome.
In my experience in a few state and federal courts...yes.
BS....Let them go visit Tray’s grave if they want to give something to Tray’s parents.
I hear ya. We are talking about 6 women here though....
bump
>> when the cops were acquitted in the Rodney King case, the feds brought civil rights action against the cops and the cops were found guilty
That comparison is better than the lame comparison with the OJ criminal/civil trials and Zimmerman’s case.
However, I maintain that the balance of evidence in the King case was worlds apart from the balance of evidence in Z’s case. Which is to say, in the King case the prosecution, and then the feds, had *something*. In the Z case, the pro’s got NUTHIN’. Literally, nuthin’.
It’s not enough to just bring charges — the feds would also have to prove them. WITHOUT calling Zimmerman to the stand. What new evidence would they bring to light that would change the picture and prove their charges? Or novel new argument on the existing evidence? I don’t see it.
I think the proper spelling in Bill’s case is pee brain...
Ashleigh Banfield said if you want to watch a classic manner, o blow apart a case this was it. Name. Set. Match.
