GEORGIA – City Commissioner James Henry Brooks Sr. has been charged with influencing a witness and obstructing the investigation of the fatal shooting of a baby and wounding of his mother March 21.

Brooks, also charged with racketeering in unrelated cases in Camden County, was booked into the Glynn County jail.

He was at the Glynn County Courthouse Monday when the mother of murder defendant De’Marquise Elkins left the courthouse after her son’s initial court appearance. As Karimah Elkins and another woman walked from the courthouse, a county police investigator tried to speak with her. Brooks stepped between them and prevented the officer from speaking with the mother, officials said. (more…)

Many people were wondering what approach Mark O’Mara would take now that Operation Q-Beam has been successful.    While this is not a formal retort to the court, the GZ Defense Team has posted the following notification as a reply to The State’s Response:

The STATE’S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SANCTIONS AGAINST STATE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR DISCOVERY VIOLATIONS, while pointed, has little substance that addresses the very serious motion we have before the Court.

From a legal perspective, the Zimmerman case is about whether George Zimmerman acted in self-defense, but we understand that the case has also become important to the national conversation about race relations, about gun control, and about “Stand Your Ground” laws. Although the Court will not be able to resolve these larger issues, we as the defense team, have chosen to engage in the national conversation in a responsible and respectful way. (more…)

The BACKSTORY HERE. (more…)

Yesterday President Obama stood arm in arm with the survivors of the Benghazi Massacre and led the nation in a promise that they shall never be forgotten.

Very deliberately President Obama said “speeches are not enough”, he went on to talk about the tears, anguish and pain felt by those family members of the fallen Benghazi heroes, and how they shall never be forgotten by the nation they served.

It was quite moving….

Wait, huh…. what’s that?…. Ooooh, Newtown people….  huh?  wha.. Sandy Hook…

Whoops, my bad.

Nevermind.

In a staggering, but not unexpected, display of judicial bias Judge Nelson has ruled against George Zimmerman’s defense,… again.    Denying George Zimmerman the right to depose Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, about his involvement with all issues surrounding Witness #8, “DeeDee”: (more…)

This cannot be allowed to continue….

Meet at the old mill…..  We ride at midnight… 

We choose FREEDOM !

On March 18th George Zimmerman attorney, Mark O’Mara, filed a motion for judicial reconsideration regarding a prior ruling stopping Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump from being deposed.

There were/are multiple substantive arguments in the motion filed by O’Mara outlining the defense position that Benjamin Crump, is specifically a key witness for deposition surrounding all of the elements regarding discovery of Witness #8, Dee Dee.   Additionally the motion draws attention to misleading statements, false representations to the court, and false claims by Crump to the media and defense.  (review here)

Today Benjamin Crump, through his counsel, Bruce Blackwell, responded: (more…)

[Excerpt From Orlando Sentinel] … for the second time in as many days, defense attorneys asked Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to sanction prosecutors, accusing them of another rule violation.  [pdf available here]

This time was a fight over whether to video record the deposition of the state’s most important witness, a young Miami woman who was on the phone with Trayvon moments before he was shot.

Her deposition was scheduled for 9 a.m. March 13 at a state office in Miami, and the parties were in place, along with a camera and operator, according to new paperwork filed by defense attorney Mark O’Mara, but Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda said no to the video recording.

That happened after defense attorneys had sent two deposition notices to the state,  [The first on March 6th, the second on March 11th] spelling out that the session would be videotaped and identifying the company that would do the recording. (more…)

A while ago, around the time we were contemplating “Password Protected Posts for ongoing research sharing”, and during an email exchange with DiwataMan, he posed the question: (paraphrased)

“how do you know the integrity of the person you may or may not give the password to – that they would not divulge sensitive information“?

Indeed, it has been a challenge to discover the “intents” of many people following this case – because, as you are probably aware, many of the Scheme Team players embedded into the Treehouse commenting community. They hid their agenda and operated a psy-ops campaign to discover information, that information was then transmitted to the prosecution team, the BGI and the concentric circles around the DOJ.

Today in the State of Florida VS. George Zimmerman case (Trayvon Martin shooting) the defense counsel Mark O’Mara has provided the court with a motion to Sanction the Prosecutorial Team [The State of Florida].   pdf available here

Specifically O’Mara is outlining to the court how Witness #8, “DeeDee”, Trayvon’s reported girlfriend, had lied in her sworn statements and how the State of Florida, Bernie De La Rionda, had known about her lies since August 2nd 2012, and yet never divulged that factual knowledge to the court or defense team in discovery.

O’Mara is asking for punitive sanctions, fines and legal reimbursement, against the State of Florida for their complicit and intentional hiding of pertinent discovery.

The motion cites the specific examples of how the lies were created, why the lies were told, and how the State of Florida was told about the lying by the witness herself. (more…)
