Today the Zimmerman defense team presented their 3rd supplemental discovery release in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.  Part of that discovery release includes the text messages from, and to, Trayvon Martin.

The text messages not only reflect his activities leading up to his encounter with George Zimmerman, but also provide further insight  toward his behavioral teen issues of multiple school suspensions, fights on/off campus, drug use, “Lean drinking”, gun ownership/selling, etc., the same text messages also convey Trayvon’s values and outlook.

Just reposting the Discovery Information from yesterday so peeps have a fresh place to chew the discovery info.  It does not appear to be of much significant value.  However, if you note something you would consider significant value,  that warrants further research, discussion or inquiry, we can separate into individual discussion threads.

There is a quite extensive new list of defense discovery now outlined at the GZ Case Website: As you review the evidence/items drop your thoughts into the comment section. Which ones do you view as most important ?

UPDATE:   Major mistake on my part.   I wrongly attributed the keen strategy to The O’Mara…  I did not notice it was actually written by, and filed by, Don West.  So I take back my compliment of O’Mara and place it where it should be – with Don West.   Figures.  

“Admissibility”, that’s the key question behind the State of Florida attempting to keep the toxicology report on Trayvon Martin out of the courtroom.   Bernie De La Rionda (prosecution) wants to keep the jury from hearing about young Martin’s stoner proclivities.  Mark O’Mara  Don West (defense) feels the jury should know about Trayvon’s illegal drug use.

What’s more interesting, at least to me, is how O’Mara Don West  uses his response to share “NEW”, previously unknown,  discovery evidence.    Well played. (more…)

Remember that “awkward” sideways look on Sybrina’s face when the reporter asked about the “button” Trayvon was wearing when he was shot, that was also visible in the 7-11 video.?

Treeper Shari – uncovered some very interesting aspect about Cory Craig Johnson that leads to a far greater understanding about “why” Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin have such a keen interest in the “Stand-Your-Ground” legislation.

Apparently this is something they have a vested interest in keeping hidden from public understanding or awareness.

The conflict of interest is so blatant it is no wonder why never divulged this to the media and are so awkward when questioned. (more…)

What Tawana Brawley was to Al Sharpton – So too is Witness 8 To Benjamin Crump

RdG outlined the evidence of yet another obvious lie by Benjamin Crump we had previously missed:

When Crump filed his affidavit he claimed he never had contact with Witness 8 following the initial 3/19/12 telephonic interview with ABC et al:

However, the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement contradicts that claim.

(Dr. Krop High School – 2007) A student was arrested for possession of marijuana in the butterfly garden in November, during second lunch. [Dr. Krop High School Resource] Officer Darryl Dunn was informed by Crime Watch students and arrested him immediately.

This was the eighth case of student arrests for drug possession this year; which, according to Dunn, is a low number compared to other years.

“Last year around this time, I had about 15 to 20 arrests,” he said. (more…)

UPDATE:  No ruling from the Florida 5th District Court of Appeals today regarding deposition for Benjamin Crump.   Maybe a decision next week ?

Large numbers of people have formulated numerous hypothesis about the various “W8 factors”. The entire construct of the Benjamin Crump deposition is structurally framed around the Crump presentation of the W8 narrative.

That’s why the 5th DCA decision to allow deposition (override trial judge Nelson), or support the judge Nelson ruling (barring deposition), carries so much weight. The 5th DCA delivers rulings on Fridays.

This is more than just a bit of a big deal. It’s a Joe Biden moment. (more…)

Not coincidentally in the State of Florida VS. George Zimmerman case a similar term has been used by those who perpetrate the fraud:

“Leave No Stone Unturned”

On its face it seems a disingenuous statement made to affirm an intent to get to the truth. However, to factually understand the context of its intimidated use in the Zimmerman case you must consider the surrounding facts when it was used.

Throughout the month of March, 2012, the Sanford Police Department had repeatedly stated to the media and interested parties (Martin Family troop of lawyers: Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson, Daryl Parks – and media consultant Ryan Julison) that investigation into the case had resulted in nothing found to contradict the description of events outlined by George Zimmerman.

The entire weight of the Sanford PD had turned over every stone, while under extreme pressure, national spotlight, and scrutiny,  and yet found nothing to contradict Mr. Zimmerman.

Nothing.

The President of the United States called Trayvon “his son”, and subsequently new “Stone Turners” were demanded – Police Chief Bill Lee was removed from the department;  Then District Attorney Norman Wolfinger was removed the day after he scheduled a Grand Jury  impanel on April 11th.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, DOJ Civil Rights Head Tom Perez, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and the full weight of the Federal DOJ together with the Federal Community Relations Service, The “Peacekeepers” and The State of Florida took over. (more…)

Multiple motions filed by the State of Florida last week are coming to light today.   One of the more interesting motions is the “State Motion Regarding The Calling Of A Witness“.

In essence BDLR is filing a motion, in advance of the case even starting, asking the judge to deliver an order, to stop the defense from using the absence of witness testimony to show the weakness in the State’s case.

The motion itself is predictive in nature – meaning the State is predicting the Defense will use a non-called witness against them.    Which begs the following question:

What witnesses are optically so valuable to the State’s case that their absence would prejudice a jury?   (more…)

I’ve been on the phone almost all day today and I’m only just now getting to absorb much of the State’s filings recently released.

However, that said, a cursory review shows both intent and direction the State plans on taking with the case.

We’ll be highlighting some of the motions, individually, from not only a “what” perspective, but also based on the knowledge and depth of previous, and ongoing, research into the mix we will be presenting the more important “why” factors.

As with all discussions considerations of “timing” are key to a greater understanding of “intent”.   Example:  With the discovery phase still ongoing why would the state present blanket motions to “exclude” information from the trial.   One can only logically apply a “predictive sense” or trying to “get out ahead of an issue” to diminish the importance or value of it.
