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.

>> Looks like this is going to take a while
I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy... it’s a dress rehearsal of the testimony for the defense; shake out the bugs and help the presentation to the jury go smoothly.
Wish we could see the animation....:(
Another screw up in the court — the video won’t play on the court’s video feed — what a coincidence.
Probably Baldo cutting the wires during the evening
There are no coincidences, IOW.
MOM is undaunted. Gotta love his action.
The prosecutor on the right of that screen shot looks like he is thinking, crap, what am I going to say about this. He looks mystified.
Look at Mantei’s face when he was told that there was a bug in the video feed — bug???
Thanks, JPB! I was trying to put a pic up of Schumacher but I haven’t had my caffeine fix yet and was struggling...lol.
Nice Apple product placement. :-)
This technology is very cool, I have to admit. A drone to film the scene! (Didn’t use it in this case IIRC)
Joe is back on the job! Thanks for the screenshots.
Love Mantei’s expression: “There goes my law career!”
Clueless ! Buy a vowel , Sir!
Yep. It was Don West IIRC.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.Winston Churchill
havent been paying attention to this..but if he does this in a lot of cases and it has been allowed in court...will be interesting to see how Judge Nelson denies it.
What is IIRC?
If I remember correctly, it has something to do with disclaiming memory flaws in the statement.
If I remember correctly.
IIRC: “If I Recall Correctly”, if I recall correctly.
