The Trayvon Martin Case ... The Narrative Spontaneously Combusts
Stately McDaniel Manor ^ | June 28, 2013 | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 06/29/2013 2:38:26 PM PDT by Uncle Chip

Following opening statements, the prosecution normally produces a succession of fact witnesses, people who can testify to the facts–the evidence–necessary to establish the elements of the offense and to prove that the defendant committed it.

Their ultimate job is to leave no room for reasonable doubt. But this is the George Zimmerman prosecution: the backwards case.

Normally, prosecutors are careful to fully question each prosecution witness, to obtain all of the evidence their testimony can produce, and also to avoid allowing the defense to reveal evidence left unmentioned, making it look like the prosecution was trying to conceal something.

But during the first week of this case, the prosecution has established a pattern of asking only the bare minimum of their witnesses.

In virtually every case, defense cross-examination reveals a great deal the prosecutors avoided bringing to light, and in virtually every case, that information either fully supports George’s Zimmerman’s account–which has not changed–casts doubt on The Narrative–which is actually the prosecution’s case–or both.

This bizarre turn of events has required the prosecutors, particularly Bernie de la Rionda (hereinafter BDLR) to treat his own witnesses as though they are hostile witnesses.

The prosecution has actually engaged in the extraordinary spectacle of aggressively questioning its own witnesses, trying to get them to ignore, disown or soft-pedal their testimony.

Another interesting–and disturbing–pattern established by prosecution witnesses is changing their testimony in significant and ethically questionable ways.

A number of prosecution witnesses have testified to important changes in their accounts that they have never said before, not in multiple law enforcement interviews or depositions.

This directly suggests that they’ve not only been coached, but perhaps the subordination of perjury is involved.....

I expected that [DeeDee] would not help the State’s case, but she went far beyond that and badly damaged it. During her first day of testimony, she was actively hostile to the defense. Her rudeness and glaring lack of respect for the dignity of the court left me slack jawed.

That kind of behavior would cause anyone to spend time in jail for contempt in virtually any court in the land, and rightfully so, yet not only did Judge Nelson ignore her conduct, she actually protected her from the defense on several occasions.

Good piece, except

The term is "subornation of perjury".

Classic description of a political trial. A replay of many a trial held in Germany during the mid '30s.

Zimmerman has already been found guilty.

Know how I know? With any liberal, when they know they won, they phone it in.

The prosecution is

presenting its case but it looks as if they maybe picked up the defense briefcase by mistake and are trying to CYA in redirect.

The problem with this case is that the facts are irrelevant to a lot people. If these 6 women do not convict, Florida and much of the rest of the country will burn, and Zimmerman will face federal civil rights charges and they will make sure those stick.

Emblematic of what’s wrong with this whole nation... hip-hop/drugs/abortion/homosexual marriage/abuse of every kind/ lawlessness/murder... and on and on and on... we have become Sodom and Gomorra, the whore of the world. I don’t pray for God’s judgement to fall, but I don’t pray for it to be restrained like I used to, either.

You wouldn’t have to be a seasoned lawyer to easily smash the prosecution’s case. A farce. Just about every media talking head has his head in his dark orifice for political correctness because they are nothing but little mouses with no honor.

That there haven’t been any major race riots in 20 years is likely associated with the fall of the Soviet Union. The cold war era red agitators are gone but Obama has a network of agitators continually stirring up the blacks over this case. If the jury acquits, or finds in favor of Zimmerman, watch out.

The term is "subornation of perjury".

Both terms are probably appropriate in Nelson's court.

Because the subornation of perjury is permitted and overlooked in her court, it's a subordinate offense.

I’m going to make a prediction.

After the not guilty verdict and the race riots are over, Obama is going to make a statement about innocent people being prosecuted because of

WAIT FOR IT

WHITE RACISM.

He will then order a review of all complaints filed against police with the FBI to find out if other innocent people have been prosecuted because of WHITE RACISM.

I think they are trying to do a Rodney King in reverse and what they tried to do in Obama’s first term with Gates and the so called “RACIAL PROFILING” where the CBC called for a review of all complaints filed against police with the FBI.

If I’m right, you’ve got a constitutional crises coming down the pike.
