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.

I have been doing some thinking...how can you prove it was Trayvon sending those messages??? Didn’t he say he got suspended and had to move with his dad? That can be proven by dates. Also, whoever he was talking to may have answered him by his name in the return text msgs.
Demons recognize their own.

>> I wonder if the Judge will hold West in contempt
I’ll go out on a limb here and say: She wouldn’t dare.
She is in the wrong and she DAMN WELL knows it.
Guy ought to be concerned about his ability to practice law after this fiasco. Every criminal these guys have put in jail are probably calling their lawyers now.
3/4 is perfect.
YUP! “I’ll come as fast as I can”
Currently watching HLN After Dark. Almost unwatchable. The jurors on the TV show are absolute derelicts.
Great point about recognizing it’s TM’s messages!
I’ve gotta get to bed to be ready for 8 am. Nite everyone!
She’s been hamming it up over his weight...
Last I checked, she wasn’t exactly buff herself...
>>>Remember this is the first time she’s heard this info too. Alter she cools down and thinks about it prosecution lied to her too.<<<
I hear ya! Much as I...well, HATE her right now (forgive me), I believe she is under some powerful pressure...not just from earthly PTB, but from beyond flesh and blood.
Did your dad get his meal? I bet he’s really loving this evening’s doings.
>> I wonder if the Judge will hold West in contempt
She’s tying the defense by the pace in addition to evidence being withheld. Geez, Barry, Holder, MSM may have pushed this too far. I wonder what a FOIA inquiry to the DOJ about conversations and interactions with Prosecution, witnesses, talk show hosts, and the Judge might reveal?
Seems to me, if the state (and judge) doesn’t want the evidence heard, they should have to prove that it was NOT Trayvon using his own phone. It’s not like it would be that difficult. They know how damning this evidence will be though.
She’s a Pontius Pilate
We conclude that the procedures used by this trial judge unreasonably inhibited the ability of counsel to engage in meaningful voir dire examination of prospective jurors. Beginning the process of choosing jurors at 7:30 in the evening hours, after a party’s lawyer has already worked a full day in court representing various clients, is likely to call upon reserves of energy, insight and diligence already spent. A lawyer whose resources are thus depleted cannot be presumed to be able to operate at the ordinary skills level. And even if that lawyer is nonetheless able to perform with some competence, fatigue can impel the lawyer into subconsciously hurrying the process. In either event, the effect is to deprive the client of the lawyer’s skill, energy and dedication. For that reason, we find an abuse of discretion in beginning jury selection for this case at that time over the objection of the party, and the concerned party has shown some prejudice. Our holding is therefore limited to the circumstances here present in which the defendant has shown a proper and timely objection, the absence of any record circumstances for continuing so late, and the objecting party has demonstrated some prejudice.

Yes, I wonder if that wasn’t part of MOM’s questioning at the end was going to be?
Have to work tomorrow...will probably be back here around 10A. Work butts in! UGH.
Okay - I go swimming, cook and eat dinner with the hubs thinking I won’t miss anything at this point in the evening. What the heck! Watching Greta now to catch up.
This whole thing is crazy. Someone mentioned West’s health...what’s up with that? Hope he’s okay.
And Nelson walked out?!?!
Wow.
