George Zimmerman judge schedules hearing on Trayvon's school records
The Orlando Sentinel ^ | September 25, 2012 | Rene Stutzman

Posted on 09/26/2012 7:46:27 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

A Sanford judge has set an Oct. 19 hearing so that George Zimmerman's lawyer and prosecutors can argue over what to do about Trayvon Martin's school records.

Trayvon is the unarmed black 17-year-old whom Zimmerman fatally shot Feb. 26 in Sanford.

Earlier this month defense attorney Mark O'Mara issued subpoenas for the school records, making clear that he wants to look at Trayvon's disciplinary records, attendance, test scores and other information.

Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda accused O'Mara of trying to start a media feeding frenzy – he used the phrase "chum the waters" – with that request.

Trayvon's school records have become a contentious issue because police reported that he was in Sanford the night he was shot – and not in high school in Miami-Dade – because he'd been suspended for 10 days after officials found him with an empty marijuana baggie.

Prosecutors have charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder. He says he acted in self-defense after Trayvon attacked him.

De la Rionda does not oppose the subpoena for Trayvon's school records, he wrote in court paperwork filed, but he doesn't want the information made public.

He asked Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to seal whatever they reveal.

De la Rionda also asked the judge to make O'Mara file all future subpoenas under seal, to review each one in secret and decide whether it should be issued and then to evaluate in secret the information it produces and decide whether that information should be kept from the public.

<>They might have wrestled around a bit but I don’t think Trayvon punched or in any other way ‘assaulted’ Zimmerman.<>

The video of George and Trayvon that night says otherwise:

<>The next hearing is October 19th, not today.<>

That will be too late for the State to suppress. O’Mara will have all the school records by then, and probably DeeDee’s deposition. He started with it all yesterday.

So then sitting on him to keep him from getting up while holding your hand over his mouth to keep him from calling out for help is what??? some new kind of wrestling hold??? or attempted rape???

Isn’t it convenient that the only person who said seven-handed Trayvon held a hand over Zimmerman’s mouth was Zimmerman … a proved liar.

Explain how in the first place the clumsy, uncoordinated Zimmerman could catch up to the younger leaner swifter stronger teenager who had already fled the scene -- much less try to detain him.

In his excitement to detain the suspect, maybe Zimmerman tripped in the dark. Maybe he ran or backed into a tree, a satellite dish bracket, or the dog poop sign. Sh!t happens. Ex-bouncer, cop-wannabe George looked pretty mean and lean -- like a fighting machine -- in this photo. Looks like he was working out at the gym in the clubhouse.

After a two mile walk to and from the store, I don’t know how “swift” Trayvon would be. Personally, I’d be pooped. And with a 46-pound weight advantage, Zimmerman would be the stronger of the two.

*Wanna bet Zimmerman’s sitting at home right this minute stuffing his face, trying to gain weight so he’ll look fat at his trial?

*Wanna bet Zimmerman's growing his hair in an attempt to lose that skin-head image?

*Wanna bet they’ll lower Zimmerman's chair in the courtroom, a la Casey Anthony, so he’ll look puny too?

Martin was on top of him and it was raining. All blood and saliva would drain downward to the wet ground not upward to the raining sky.

So all the blood and saliva and DNA drained away --- except for the blood and saliva and DNA that didn’t. Okie-dokie …

Maybe the blood on Zimmerman's head was photoshopped too?

after he shot him and just as the police were arriving on the scene as he said in his deposition ...

And which deposition would that be? Zimmerman made many statements to the police, each different from the last: he was punched at the T and fell backward – he was punched at the T and stumbled forward. None of his statements explained the 50-foot debris trail down the sidewalk.

As you can see the State has no case and should be investigating the Trayvon Trashcan Tour for fraud and the Crumpmeister and company for obstruction of justice and subourning perjury.

OMG, you’re blaming the victim again. Pitiful! And nary a word about the money-grubbing Zimmermans, eh? George and his sites, Gracie and her site, mom & pop and their site, and now we’re treated to Bobby and the bleeding from the ears story. (Hey, nice diamond earrings, Bobby, but maybe you should take ‘em off when you’re out begging for money.) I wonder if Dawn, the sister with another mother, will popping out of the woodwork anytime soon.

BTW: I was looking at my husband’s autopsy report. He was a LEO -- or a JBT as they are so affectionately referred to on this site. Guess what, he was 6’1” both before and after death. People don’t shrivel up like the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz when they die.

The State has already acknowledged as much in its cross examination of GZ's father months ago.

maybe ....Maybe .... Sh!t happens.

That always works well in court.

After a two mile walk to and from the store, I don’t know how “swift” Trayvon would be.

Swift enough to run down to Brandi's condo and back to the T to confront GZ according to DeeDee.

Maybe the blood on Zimmerman's head was photoshopped too?

So you're questioning the EMT and police photos/reports, but you believe Leatherhead!!!

None of his statements explained the 50-foot debris trail down the sidewalk.

The location of the keys etc at the T and the body 45 feet down the sidewalk explain it.

he was 6’1” both before and after death.

So the ME copied it off of his DL where you got it from.

OMG, you’re blaming the victim again.

No -- that's what the Crumpmeisters have been doing.

Yeah, since the waters haven’t already been chumed by the prosecutors and race hustlers.

The State has not acknowledged anything. They’ll present their case at Zimmerman’s trial.

You’ve mistaken “near” for “at”.

The neighbor’s photo magically appeared many weeks later. It’s astonishing — both Zimmerman and the professional wrestler had the exact same wounds! A miracle, I tell you – unless one was photoshopped.

LOL, you are implying that the wind blew Zimmerman’s tactical flashlight down the path, a tornado lifted Trayvon’s body, and a water spout transported the bullet. Pathetic. Witness 18 watched Zimmerman walk back to the T where he supposedly ‘dropped’ the key fob. He made sure the little flashlight was ‘on’, so it would be easily found.

Remember when Zimmerman said he was fearful to walk back to his truck in the dark. I guess he forget that he had not one, but two (2) flashlights with him. Sorta like he forgot he had a gun on his hip, even ‘tho he had just put it there moments before. But then again, maybe Zimmerman wore it at home all day long, so his not-yet-born children wouldn’t play with it.

Of course, we all know Zimmerman never went to RVC, nor did he ever provide a house address from RVC to the cops. But they weren’t expecting one — a fixed address would have been useless to them. Zimmerman had already stated that the suspect was on the move – heading to the back gate – and Zimmerman’s vehicle was parked on a different street.

The ME did not have my husband’s DL. I hope you are not suggesting that he requested a copy of it from the DMV instead of using his tape measure. Get real!

I guess you forgot about the 2nd bond hearing when the BDLR asked GZ's father: "How could your son cry out [if,since, when] Martin had his hand over his mouth???"

There had been no testimony yet that Martin had his hand over his mouth, but BDLR assumed and acknowledged it to have been so in his question. His question entered it into the court record along with the answer to the prosecution's and the Trayvonista's dismay.

The neighbor’s photo magically appeared many weeks later.

The grainy b/w one but the one with cuts scrapes blood was taken that night by the police/emt along with written reports that blood covered 40% of his head.

Witness 18 watched Zimmerman walk back to the T where he supposedly ‘dropped’ the key fob. He made sure the little flashlight was ‘on’, so it would be easily found.

Show that to us in her sworn statement.

You are grasping at so many straws that you ought to be heading up the yellow brick road to the Emerald City singing "if I only had a brain".

Instead we see scraping types of injuries all over the back of the head. These appear to be the kind of injuries that would have resulted from rolling round on pavement or hitting curbs or other obstructions and not from concentrated blows to the head.

So his head injuries came from scraping his head on the sidewalk during the assault.

Since no hood was seen, Zimmerman was, by logical deduction, on top and not Martin.

But he was on top of Martin???

If he was on top of Martin, how did he scrape his head on the sidewalk???

Is that the sidewalk above his head theory???

or the raining concrete theory???

or the flying monkeys with rocks theory???

It should be called the freedumb bulletin.

Another mindless idiot grasping at straws in real desperation.

I don't believe any witness saw the entire altercation -- just bits and pieces. But good try . . .

George Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara who is adamant that, given the preponderance of evidence in his client’s favor, they’re not looking for a deal to avoid going to trial. In his estimation, the broken nose Zimmerman suffered at the hands of Trayvon Martin (moreso than the cuts on the back of his head) is proof positive the altercation was started by the Skittles-scarfing yoot, and that GZ acted in self defense.

O’Mara also let slip that, in order to try to catch Zimmerman in a lie, the Sanford police told him they had a surveillance video of the whole thing. Only they don’t. And Zimmerman stuck to his story.

You seem emotionally invested to the point were facts mean nothing.

Did Zimmerman do something to you, personally? Or somebody you know?

When a mature woman stands in front of a stranger’s house, shaking her fist and holding a noose, you kinda wonder what’s on her mind...

Go back and take a look at Zimmerman's photos from the police station. Take a good look at his boots. The front/toes of his boots are soaking wet and covered with grass bits. The back of his boots and his jeans are dry and pristine.

Kevin O'Rourke, a paramedic on the scene, said that Zimmerman had a possible fracture. He was the only paramedic that made that judgement call. He was also the only paramedic who said 45% of Zimmerman's head was covered with blood, thus the defense called him as a witness.

But Mr. O'Rourke was not the lead paramedic and if you listen to his interview you'll find out that he never had any personal contact with Zimmerman. His sole contribution that night was to pour peroxide onto a gauze pad and pass it to the paramedic who was attending to Zimmerman.

I assume when he saw the PA the next day, Zimmerman proclaimed, "The EMS guy said my nose was broken!" Thus, she charted "likely broken nose".

Too bad he never followed her advise to see an ENT . . . now we'll never know if Zimmerman's nose was broken or not.

Many believe Zimmerman's nose injury could have been caused by the recoil from his gun.

The Diagnosis Code 802.0 on his chart reads: "Nasal Bone, closed fracture. Broken Nose~ We discussed that it is likely broken, but does not appear to have septal devialion. The swelling and black e.yes are typical of this injury."

http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2012/07/03/15/01/2uxIe.So.56.pdf

Too bad he never followed her advise to see an ENT . . . now we'll never know if Zimmerman's nose was broken or not.

Who is "we"???

There is a medical record of a diagnosed "closed fracture" of the nasal bones, Broken Nose, likely broken nose, with two black eyes that usually accompany this type of injury.

Do you have a medical report that says otherwise???

and a medical report that says that firing a gun can cause these types of injuries???

You're running out of straws. Only the short ones are left.

we, the masses . . .

Page 3 of 4:
Notes: Pt is here for a return note for work. Pt was in fight on 2/26/12, pt was punched in nose and has 2 laceration in the back of head. 911 was called and EMT said pt's nose was broken.

My, my . . .

In case you forgot, Kevin O'Rourke, the EMT who is not a doctor and who did not treat Zimmerman, said 'possible fracture'.

ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Codes are billable medical codes that are used to specify a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim. They are used to insure payment to the medical provider by the patient's insurance.

There is no code for 'likely broken' or 'possible fracture'. In order to get paid, the billing clerk had to enter something.

I notice that ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 309.81, the billable medical code that is used to specify a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is not entered. Who told Zimmerman he had PTSD? Release his records!

I don't need no stinkin' medical report that says the recoil from firing a gun can cause unjuries. There are plenty of Kel Tec PF-9 owners who have posted youtube videos discussing that very problem with their Kel Tec PF-9's.

So what now??? the doctor is lying??? the clinic has committed insurance fraud??? the emt is lying??? the pictures are lying??? everybody and everything is lying except team skittles??? yeah right!!!

Show me a medical report that says the "nose is not likely broken". Even if it wasn't and was just swollen as it was, that is sufficient documentation. "Likely broken nose" with the black eyes, lacerations to the back of the head, and cut on the bridge of his nose are all sufficient enough to prove that he was assaulted by a thug.

And btw the ME did not test the thug's hands for Zimmerman's blood/DNA. It's not that he didn't find any. He didn't test for it or look for it. If you don't test for something or look for it you won't find it. They only did scrapings under the fingernails. The ME will get torn apart in court for that and it will be to Zimmerman's benefit.

Did the EMT lie – the one who attended to Zimmerman? That would be Michael Brandy.

He wrote: 'Pt has abrasions to forehead, + bleeding/tenderness to his nose, and a small laceration to the back of his head. All injuries have minor bleeding.'

Brandy noted: ‘Pt states he was assaulted and his head was struck on the pavement.’

Brandy also noted: 'Pt states he was assaulted and his head was struck on the pavement.'

Brandy charted the cause of the injury as: 'struck by blunt/thrown object', and that the laceration on Zimmerman’s head was one-inch in length.

Brandy went on to note Zimmerman’s past medical history: IBS with Librax and Tamazepam as medications. But there is no mention of Zimmerman's ADD/ADHD and his Adderall.
