CTH doesn’t do direct refutation unless the issues are very important. Earlier today, immediately following the jury conviction of three men in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a longtime Fox News legal analyst named Johnathan Turley made a claim of fact that must be refuted. My apologies for the delay here.
I do not have video citation, but watched in real time as it happened. Attorney and Law School Professor Johnathan Turley appeared on Fox News to discuss the jury verdict in the Arbery case.
During his appearance, Professor Turley stated the difference between Ahmaud Arbery’s death and the death of Trayvon Martin was video evidence.
Turley compared the Arbery case to the Trayvon case by saying there were no eyewitnesses for either events, but the difference in the Arbery case there was video.
The explicit and intended implication was that if video evidence existed in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, there’s a possibility George Zimmerman would have been convicted, or in the words of Turley, “there would have been a different outcome in that case.” Everything about this claim by Turley is FALSE.
Turley’s viewpoint for the Arbery case discussion is not only wrong, it dangerously presents a possibility that is entirely fictitious.
THERE WAS a direct eye witness in the fight between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. Direct eye witness Jonathan Good testified during the Zimmerman trial to witnessing the fight from his window in the condo unit next to the confrontation [LINK]. John Good testified in court to seeing Trayvon on top of Zimmerman and raining down blows MMA style, “ground and pound“, while Zimmerman was “shouting for help“, just before the fatal shot was fired.
John Good (pictured below right) originally gave the same statement to the police on the night of the incident, and all of the forensic evidence supported the description of the events as told during Good’s statement and court appearance. Mr. Good’s first hand eyewitness account, and all of the subsequent physical evidence in the case – which included recordings of 911 phone calls which documented the sound of the fight, was the primary reason why detectives in the case and the local district attorney in Orlando did not file charges against George Zimmerman after the shooting.
All of the evidence in the case supported traditional self defense. Ignored by most, and falsely reported by national media, George Zimmerman did not use a “stand your ground” defense, because traditional self-defense was evident in the facts of the case. The “duty to retreat” was never debated in court or even by prosecutors, because Zimmerman had no opportunity to retreat from a physical confrontation he did not initiate.
The media’s false reporting in the Zimmerman case was jaw-dropping, and all these years later – thanks to the fabrications by people like Johnathan Turley – most of the public still have no idea what factually took place in the encounter between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.
Perhaps Turley does not know about the police statements and direct courtroom testimony by eyewitness John Good, because what he said did not match the false media narrative that was built in the aftermath. The media ignored the evidence, and their complicit alignment with a prosecution narrative actually provided room for state special prosecutors Angela Corey and Bernie De La Rionda to carry out another egregious miscarriage of justice. They completely fabricated a pro-prosecution witness named Rachel Jeantel {Go Deep}.
John Good was an inconvenient witness that destroyed the media narrative about the confrontation between Trayvon and Zimmerman; so the media ignored it. Additionally, the officials in/around Sanford and Orlando Florida kept the spotlight away from John Good because there was a genuine worry that he would be targeted by the mob that was stirred up by the false racist narrative.
Essentially John Good was in hiding until he could give his first-hand eyewitness account in court. Those facts are likely why Professor Johnathan Turley doesn’t know about the eyewitness; however, in the larger picture, what does that reality say about the media?
CTH came to the defense of George Zimmerman, because we were defending the truth. Not the manipulated truth, and not any version of any individual truth; but the literal and empirical truth that undermined the myriad of lies around the Zimmerman case. The lies were so thick in the case against Zimmerman, the state prosecution even believed it would be possible to successfully create witness #8 out of nothing and get away with it.
Witness #8, Rachel Jeantel, appeared at the trial and gave testimony; unfortunately for the prosecution, she could not answer most questions because she never saw, heard, or had anything to do with the events. Jeantel was handed to the prosecution by the lawyers and family of Trayvon Martin. Jeantel signed a statement for the prosecution that she did not write and couldn’t even read.
Jeantel was needed because lawyers for Trayvon Martin’s family claimed publicly a girl was on the phone with Trayvon when the encounter with Zimmerman took place. Everything about that claim was a lie. However, worse still, the state prosecution was willing to go along with the lie because the falsehood became the central point of their case.
As a consequence, Rachel Jeantel was a completely made up witness by the Florida state prosecution in the highest profile legal case in the past decade…. and no one was ever held accountable for that.
Let that TRUTH sink in a while…
I hope everyone can see how dangerous this stuff is…
You’ve got a good memory, Mr. Sundance! I also seem to remember a woman who walked out her back door. I think she was on the phone or something.
The best part of the Zimmerman trial was Tracy Martin laughing at the fake girlfriend Crump found as a witness. He could not keep it in. He must have been thinking Trayvon would be turning in his grave considering her looks and low IQ. Travon would not be seen dead with this girl.
If Tracy and Travon meet up in the afterlife, Trayvon is going to have issues over this. “Dad, how could you have let them do this to me?”
yeah, I heard Turley say ‘no witness’ live on TV and immediately my alarm bell went off
thx for taking it up here, Sundance. you’re right – it MUST be refuted
I believe you’re thinking of Mary Cutcher. She didn’t SEE anything until after the shooting, but had lots of opinions about it. She tried to buddy up with Ben Trump to get her own 15 minutes of fame.
#MeToo
Zimmerman, Michael Brown and others, many people only know and believe the false narratives. Once they lock in the narrative some people won’t see or hear anything else. That’s why the narratives come out so quickly and immediately reverberate through the MSM and big tech echo chamber.
Both the Zimmerman case and the Michael Brown case were complete fabrications from the start. In both cases, the criminally corrupt Kenyan tried creating a false narrative.
Rene Stutzman of The Orlando Sentinel created the “St Skittles” narrative of the Trayvon Martin story, which she seemed to roll out in the fashion of crime serial. The mockingbird press repeated everything she wrote, as if they were reporting it themselves. Were it not for the easy availability of the discovery evidence, their BS would have prevailed.
in light of all this, I would like to ask a fundamental question about Floyd.
I thought that in court, Chauvin’s actual bodycam footage showed there was no knee on the neck.
If so, then it was just a hold of a suspect in an excited delirium state, with knee on shoulder, until medical help arrives. Officers trained that way.
And yet this went nowhere.
By that time, the narrative was so set in stone, and emotions so high, that no facts or evidence could change hearts and minds.
People believe what they think they saw, one video angle.
The Police chief could have released the cam video earlier, to tamp down rioting.
If no knee on neck, no malice, no murder. No injustice, no racism, no riots.
If that’s incorrect, let me know.
Excellent rebuttal.
Unfortunately, whether those in the Leftwing totally biased media “see” how dangerous this is, I don’t believe they have any intentions of correcting their overall strategy to continue pushing false narratives, direct lies, and fabricating “background stories” around those who they want to destroy. Regardless of how many are killed in the process….those unfortunate souls will be written off as collateral damage by the Liars.
I wish people would stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. They know they are lying and they know what hell their lies are wreaking. The rest of what you said is absolutely correct. They will not stop.
Apply that to the entire wrecking crew administration. To transform is to destroy. And that is what they are doing. To ‘build back’ is to start from destruction. But we aren’t going to like anything they build. Their ‘better’ is hell on earth.
They are always miserable. And they fully intend to make sure we are worse off so that they can lord it over us.
They will try.
“I don’t believe they have any intentions of correcting their overall strategy to continue pushing false narratives”
Fake stories is Woke’s whole bag of tricks.
To them, what people believe is truth becomes truth. That’s why they want to control all communication with their lies.
You can not reason with people who think there is no factual truth, only what people believe is truth.
Re “I hope everyone can see how dangerous this stuff is…”
Absolutely!
The truth should aways be told no matter who it helps or hurts in the short term; because, in the long term, falsehoods always hurt everyone involved directly or indirectly.
Truth is in very short supplies these days.
Thanks to Sundance and CTH for maintaining it in this little corner of the web.

The Arbery case is also a racist miscarriage of justice, surrounded by Enemedia lies.
Educate me. I haven’t followed it closely at all.
tl, there’s another thread on that case. Some do not agree with the verdict, and have made some cogent points in their comments.
Okay, I will.
Yes they were overcharged to begin with. I can see manslaughter but not what they were charged with
My assessment of the case is the same. From your keyboard to Jonathan Turley’s eyes. I often agree with Turley, and disagree too. I’d love to see Turley’s response to this.
If Turley sees this, he might very well have a nervous breakdown. That would probably be his best option.
Exactly 💯
Especially when George Zimmerman has his lawyers contact him and Fox News
There’s no difference! Both were looking for trouble and when confronted started to fight instead of simply waiting for the police!
When it comes to race (if it involves someone black and someone not black), many people, these days, contract a form of PC fright induced blindness.
I heard Jonathon Turley as well and yelled at my computer because it was nothing like this current case, nothing. I thought he was on the phone with his girlfriend but she wouldn’t come forward so they made up RJ.
Nope. That’s why the prosecution would never give up Trayvon’s phone records.
“Biden” says the guilty verdicts are not enough.

🔥 📛 Charles Manson alert ⚠️ 📢
I remember Charles saying and doing “things” trying to provoke some kind of Racial Ragnarok to get the race wars cooking 🍳.
Sounds like those in the installed Whitehouse propaganda department 🏬 are reaching back to the past for their stoking the Communist revolution
Traitor Joe Biden is a career criminal that, of course, supports the criminals.
Billion and billions in crime and the CCP for slow Joe.
Turley is just doing what fakeNews people do:
THAT is such a powerful image.
Centuries ago people argued about whether the sun revolves around the earth or the earth revolves around the sun. Galileo thought the earth revolves around the sun while the Roman Catholic Church was very insistent that the sun revolves around the earth.
Turns out they were broth wrong, as we now know that everything in the entire Universe revolves around black people. At least it does in America. You can be damn sure in doesn’t in China, in fact quite the contrary, and that is why they are likely now the wave of the future and we are are not.
You win the comment of the day in my book …. laugh my head off… thanks for that OCN…. I needed some levity after the last few days God bless you!
Like! For some reason the like button is not working for me this evening, maybe having to do with maintenance taking place.
Any guess what their next batch of bio weapons will focus on??
“Fake News is the enemy of the people”
Mr Turley is not always correct….this is not his first misunderstanding of the facts.
Mr. Turley has also said many times that Kyle Rittenhouse will have no case for law suits against his slanderers like CNN. Other legal analysts have disputed his opinion. Perhaps he fears backlash.
Thank you, Sundance.
THE Truth
(I am disappointed in Jonathan Turley)
The Trayvon Martin case is the linchpin that holds together the BLM Movement and if it is removed, then everything that has happened in the intervening decade becomes fruit of the poisoned tree…
If the real truth about that case, and how the facts were completely manipulated in order to bring about the “race wars” that The One desperately wanted, in order to kick off the agenda that his handlers desperately needed, ever hit the light of day, millions of people may finally realize that they were told a complete lie! And if they ever realize that, and start asking what other lies they have been told, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down!
Please send this to Turley, Sundance. He’s a fair man, but he doesn’t know the case as you do.
Educate him.
It was the Trayvon-Zimmerman incident that led me here. Someone posting on Steve Sailer’s blog linked to the Treehouse, said the guy who ran it, Sundance, had THE best investigative reporting on earth on this high profile case. He was right.
If every single prog or liberal could take the time, even over the course of a month, to read the archive posts done by Sundance and company on this case, they’d see the entire of the American media in an entire NEW light and the country just might, might be back on its way to the long road to reconcilation.
If people would read the archives, they’d see the whole mess of our public schools opened up before their eyes as well.
👌 👍 George Zimmerman and his legal representation can alert ⚠️ 📢 Fox News of their Propaganda errors
Sybrina “Ms Candy” Fulton and Tracy “Fruit” Martin, the family of Trayvon Martin, are heros now like Michael browns step dad aka , “burn the bitch” down along with his pipe swinging mom 🤣
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jimdalrympleii/michael-browns-family-got-into-a-huge-brawl-over-memorial-t
Another thing, if everyone would read the archival posts on this case here, they’d see not only the corrupt media and politicians in action, the corrupt school administrators, the decadence of the public school system but also the horrid state of “parenthood”.
Daily Mail US on Twitter: “EXCLUSIVE: Waukesha massacre suspect was convicted

You know what… if Obama had a son he would look like big Mike.
Agreed, this is all so true. The George Zimmerman and Arbery/McMichael cases are not even comparable.
The Zimmerman case was clear cut self defense.
The Arbery case entirely hinged on the legal interpretation of a 150 year old citizens arrest statute.
Totally different situations.
Let’s hope Rittenhouse doesn’t see his life upended the way Zimmerman’s was.
🔥 📛 George Zimmerman may have legal representation on retainer ready for Fox News(and any propagandists) to help with their corrected presentation of Propaganda.
Don’t forget who was FL AG at the time. She removed the proper State’s Attorney, appointed Angela Corey, and allowed, if not engineered, the entire Zimmerman travesty. It was perennial Trump orbiter Pam Bondi. She is not to be trusted. Another in a long list of questionable people from whom Trump has sought counsel.
Wasn’t Turley also on PDJTs legal defense In the first impeachment?
I lived in Orlando at the time, the Ministry Of Truth kept Mr. Martins MySpace shenanigans (Pictures of him holding firearms, weed plants and numerous clips of the “Knockout Game”) out of the trial.
Turley – the GWU prof and Faux News contributor… I think I’ll leave it there.
Fox had to trot somebody out there who might give some kind of legitimacy to the propaganda media mill of the communist racist democrats and their machinations. Turley is a stooge.
They’ve shown time and again they don’t care what it takes to achieve their goal. No matter what it they’re trying to accomplish, trial, taxes, steal a Presidency or any other communist goal. You’re dang straight right it’s dangerous Sundance.
I keep trying to tell anybody who will listen, the Communist racist democrats would rather burn this country to the ground and rule over the ashes than give one inch or leave us alone.
We been in a war for sometime now, and the only thing that hasn’t happened is that we have crossed over to the point of no return.
Somewhere, sometime in the maybe not too distant future somebody will snap. And the sad thing is, that’s what they’re waiting for. One frustrated, angry soul, who can’t take it any longer.
There are some here who think that we’re afraid to do what needs to be done. I don’t think it’s fear, lack of intestinal fortitude or lack of cojones. It’s the knowledge that once the line is crossed, we won’t be able to tamp it back down.
I am not trying to say what happens is not going to be justified, just that it’s going to force us to become like them in a very large way. And my fervent hope is that if God allows us to overcome this evil, we will let God keep us in our place and not remain like them after it’s over.
The only way out of this is Civil War, using our 2nd amendment rights, before it’s too late – ie. before we lose that right…… Or before the right is no longer of any use…….
Civil War is a last, desperate resort when all else fails, as it might.
We need to keep fighting the cultural wars and political wars for two reasons:
1. We might win, like taking the GOP away from RINOs, to start, and,
2. Every bit of political and cultural ground we can gain will greatly increase our chances of winning any civil war.
I simply believe it is too late. There will always be RINO’s we can’t get rid of. We’re already two generations deep into indoctrination, and that process will accelerate, despite any pushback on schoolboards. Honest journalism is all but dead, and too few see the honest truth and fewer still believe it when they do.
They stole a presidential election through massive fraud, and likely the MI senate race too. And they will do it again to keep Trump out should he try again. And as Sundance said – there is no one but Trump who can take on the globalists on the global stage. The powerbrokers of the world are against him as us much of the US guberment – both elected and unelected. Culture wars ???? We may win a battle here and there, but overall we’re losing the war with each generation….. Bigly.
⚠️ 📢 🚨 Once upon a time America 🇺🇸 had no cameras 📷 nor videos 📹 at spontaneous events. Kyle Rittenhouse and now this Christmas 🎄 Massacre have shown that almost everyone can bring instantaneous recording of events. It seems that America 🇺🇸 is generally armed with sufficient nationwide coverage that in similar fashion an instantaneous ARMED response may happen if for no other reason than the attempt to stop such a
demonic 😈 attack in the near future. Righteous response(s) of such righteous defense situations may put things into the National emergency these wicked ones are trying to infiltrate the Country for their Tyranny. There is no alternative than to enjoy ALL of our declared Bill of Rights.
Sundance
You are completely correct. I’ve been following CTH since 2012 and we spoke briefly long ago concerning this, you may not recall. In addition to little attention by the media of the nearby eyewitness, George was given a voice stress test (form of lie detector test) and proven to be absolutely truthful. His medical exam immediately following the incident confirmed two black eyes, a broken nose, and numerous other injuries consistent with having received a very severe beating. Additionally, it was proven in court the prosecution had altered and concealed a great deal of exculpatory evidence. Naturally, none of these facts mattered to the media. Their narrative concerned neighborhood watch and stand your ground laws. Of course, neither of these issues had anything whatsoever to do with the actual events.
Unfortunately, the family member’s ‘Foundation’ immediately received many very generous donations from around the world, in addition to having received an extremely generous cash settlement from the HOA.
This scenario worked well in the Martin Lee Anderson death and the death of Trayvon Martin. It worked so well, it’s become routine to provide a completely false narrative, advanced by the media daily, to make many individuals and their attorneys very wealthy and prominent.
The deceit and professional misconduct will continue as long as profit is the goal and mainstream media is a willing accomplice.
My best wishes this holiday season to you, your family, and all supporting our need for truthful dialogue.

Aside from Tucker I have no use for Fox news. It’s just controlled opposition. In covering the massacre of white parade-goers in Waukesha by an anti-white black supremacist seemingly in direct response to the Rittenhouse verdict – Fox & Friends went with “Parade Crash” in it’s chyron. Aside from Tucker none of the Fox hosts have raised the issue of motive in the Waukesha massacre. All they talk about is “bail reform” and “Soros prosecutors”.
I don’t know why Fox news hasn’t blown the lid off the Zimmerman case exposing Rachel Jeantel as the imposter she is. Filmmaker Joel Gilbert did all the legwork uncovering Jeantel as an imposter. When his documentary came out all Fox had to do is invite him on and it would have been the biggest story of the year with demands to prosecute everyone involved, Crump, Jeantel, and Trayvon’s parents to name a few.
So much of today’s racial strife started with Trayvon Martin. When Obama said if he had a son he would “look like Trayvon” that was the first calculated attempt to drive a wedge between black and white Americans. With Trayvon they learned that they could not only get away with lying about the facts but that they could put an imposter on a witness stand and no one is going to call them out. Certainly not MSNBC and CNN and apparently neither Fox news.
So much of today’s racial strife started with Trayvon Martin. When Obama said if he had a son he would “look like Trayvon”
You were close but it actually started with Obama and his merry band of communist racist democrat administrative staff and his “wing man”.
How about Obama’s professor friend trying to get into his house(what a hoax that was) and “Cambridge police acting stupidly.”
Do not forget his Green Czar was still not let go at the time. Van Jones , the self described “communist revolutionary” founded the Ella Baker Center in CA(Ella Baker a Castro lover and communist) as an anti-police brutality activist headquarters. The war on cops started in the 60’s but was revived by Jones in the 90’s. That is why Jarrett brought him to DC.
Paul Ryan joined Foxes BoD after leaving Congress.
John Turley has to make up for supporting President Trump and blowing away the 3 democrat “Constitutional Experts” during the Constitutional Panel discussion orchestrated during Adam Schiff’s public impeachment hearings in 2019.
He has been threatened and he caved to the threat.
Exactly 💯
“Caved” or “got paid”
Same result
This is why I quit watching Faux News in Mar 2020 (Super Thursday) when they allowed a fat, angry, byatch of a black woman call the head of the RNC, another female, all kinds of nasty names on morning TV while children were watching.
I should have left when Hannity, the last holdout, called the Bundy’s racist. That was when I truly knew they were all shady characters, and not what they made themselves out to be.
I live much calmer life without them and all of their b.s. I do not get the hold they have on others. They are all pretenders and posers, and in it for the graft.
I believe that Rachel could not read or write cursive, and only understood Ebonics.
Its all about the Marxist agenda to destroy our legal system and distributed justice where they see fit! Yes this is extrememly dangerous stuff and clever diversions from the FBI as their Jackboots going after their political adversaries will continue! Focus on “Whitey” Meanwhile there are much bigger things happening as it relates to stolen elections and squashing a large movement that is growing by the day. Racism is the emotional carrot offered by the agents of Chaos that serves as the divide and conquer tool! We are in deep trouble as country! They know it! We know it and the rest of the World knows it! God have mercy on all of us!
J. Turley is usually accurate and thoughtful with his analysis. (Or at least I usually agree.)
But sundance presented a compelling evidentiary case in opposition. I hope Turley corrects his error on the Trayvon/Zimmerman case. He hasn’t yet on Twitter.
Look at Rachel Jeantel and tell me a playah like Trayvon Martin is going to have a fat tub of goo with an idiot IQ like her as a “girl friend.” It didn’t happen. Trayvon Martin was a teen-age thug. That he died when he did means a lot of people were spared some bad experience because they never met up with him. It is a pity the same thing didn’t happen to Darrell Brooks somewhere along the way. Then those people in the Christmas Parade and many others would not have experienced their tale of woe.
This stuff is very dangerous. I’m afraid of the government. People should not be afraid of their government.
I remember the great Eric Hoffer, the writer/autodidact, making the observation that one thing that had changed during his life as a laborer (fruit picker and longshoreman) was that men had become less eager to physically fight. As a young man, in the labor camps and on the docks, he saw that men would fight at the slightest provocation. Over time that moderated, perhaps due to education, perhaps due to concealed weapons? Impossible to say..
I wonder how many physical fights Jonathan Turley has had in his life? To minimize the predicament of George Zimmerman, with a man sitting on him and applying a serious beating, only betrays the near-ignorance of Turley to physical violence. And as to guns, does Turley know a damn thing?
Turley’s knowledge of violence was no doubt manufactured by watching cowboy movies, where the huge John Wayne hits the bad guy in the face a dozen times, and gets punched just as often, and at the end both men are barely marked. Movie magic.
Turley’s opinions on the letter of the law are valuable, but why does his misinformation on physical violence have any currency?
Hmmmmmm…….sound familiar? Say…a contrived dossier ? False claims to a court?
Once the “Chicago Crew” succeeded in getting rid of Roger Ailes, it was downhill quickly to the cellar where Fox News now resides. They are not even a shadow of their former selves.
I too was introduced to this site by the Zimmerman case. I have no idea what actually happened up the road in Brunswick but I did notice in the local news coverage the spitting image of one Benjamin Crump, lawyer. He, along with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, seems to be all over these type media events. Just saying.
Does anyone know what is happening re Zimmerman’s lawsuit regarding the fake Rachel Jeantel? Last notice I can find is 1 year old.
The law allows you to use lethal force if someone tries to take your gun. Nothing else is relevant. NOTHING.
Exculpatory, indisputable video evidence. Arbery made a foolish calculation to try and take someone’s gun. Of COURSE he would have murdered the father and son, of COURSE. Travis was wrongfully convicted. He acted in self defense. The citizens arrest is irrelevant.
Joel Gilbert made a movie called The Trayvon Martin Hoax: Unmasking The Witness Fraud That Divided America. If I remember correctly, he tracked the real girlfriend, Diamond, down in Miami.
Here’s a link to the movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10947750/
Or this link
https://www.thetrayvonhoax.com/
The video evidence in the Arbery case is exculpatory towards the McMichaels, but somehow it was used to make case against them. It shows Arbery running towards the McMichaels truck and then purposely running into the younger McMichael and trying to take his gun.
Turley may have mispoken on live TV, his blog post covering the verdict is not so stark
<i>. Whether a videotape would have supported either Zimmerman or Martin will remain a matter of intense debate. However, a videotape has the ability to cut through legal arguments to bring clarity as to the question of intent.</i>
Writing out his thoughts he is much more scholarly and ambiguous. True enough if video had existed for the Zimmerman charges, video would have added clarity.
But the other evidence was clear enough. Zimmerman was getting his head smashed into the concrete. His only path to survival was do use his only available tool. The gun he carried for self defense.
It’s Thanks Giving morning and I just took a peek at CTH…This is a great reminder of events… (fyi having 14 people for dinner as we do/did each year INCLUDING during the shamdemic – None vaxed) 🙂
Sundance, are you aware how many of us Treepers LOVE YOU?!?! Happy Thanksgiving to All!!!
Dangerous is the right word. Otherwise smart people are being brainwashed by the media. They walk amongst us, completely deluded by state media.
I’ll be having a home full of them today for Thanksgiving.
The only blessing is that they aren’t militant.
I’ll pray for them as I pass the scalloped potatoes
