Earlier this week Mark O’Mara filed a motion with the court concerning jury protections.  Apparently one of our research articles surrounding the larger alignment of political forces was included in one of the exhibits.

REPOST: Understanding how and why George Zimmerman is being prosecuted in the Trayvon Martin shooting is a complex undertaking. Most of the people with a ‘general sense’ of the case have no idea the depth of the alignment against him. (more…)

Yesterday the defense posted three new attachments to the George Zimmerman defense. The first was a motion to the 5th District Court of Appeal stating the defense response to Benjamin Crump’s attachment to the State of Florida’s response to the Writ of Certiorari filed by Mark O’Mara. The second was the actual reply to Benjamin Crump’s position.

The Third, and more important of the filings, was the reply to the District Court directly to the State of Florida’s position as asserted by Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi:

Bernie De La Rionda is using the blanket O’Mara discovery and witness list approach against O’Mara’s client George Zimmerman. Previously O’Mara filed a response during “witness” discovery, witness listing, which included the catch line:

“Any witness identified through State’s discovery not otherwise disclosed herein”.

What O’Mara is intending to say appeared to be the defense *may* add additional witnesses which may come to light as a result of the continual disclosure of the State’s discovery.  However, because BDLR had previously listed Shellie Zimmerman as a possible State’s Witness, the catch line tagged all current State witnesses as also defense witnesses.  Ergo, Shellie is by default now listed as a Defense witness.

Why is this important?

Because Bernie De La Rionda has a right to depose and question all of the Defense Witnesses, so if Shellie is a defense witness, then she must be forced to sit for his questioning.  It appears BDLR intends to use Shellie to injure the credibility of her husband George. (more…)

Recently I received advice, from a person closely following the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman story, to take some researched evidence to the “main stream” media.   So I did, and I’ll outline my experience below.   What follows is the exact reason why the Media is no longer considered a Fourth Estate.

One thing the media never does any longer is ask questions, the “why” questions.  You’ll notice the mainstream media, in a general sense, only reports on stories, and even then only on the stories they view are within the purpose of their editorial agenda;  And stories fed to them from daily newswires, or occasionally consultants, which they are paid to regurgitate.

“It’s a cost vs. benefit analysis”, I was told by a local Orlando media reporter, “we have limited funding for resources, and expenses, and so the editors only want to expend money on stories that will drive income”, they continued.

As I asked whether or not they would be willing to look into information, or even consider information if it were just presented to them, the response was also oddly disjointed when you think of the original purpose of a news gathering and public interest.

“If it pertains to Trayvon Martin’s criminal behavior, or evidence of burglary, we are not interested”, I was told.  “Our editors and editorial board have decided that nothing about that has anything to do with the events in Sanford”.  “Nor does that have anything to do with the shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman”. (more…)

The “Girlfriend”

It is now a matter of public record that Witness #8, “DeeDee” was not 16 years old on March 19, 2012 – she was 18.   Nor was she in the hospital during Trayvon’s visitation/funeral, nor did Ronquavis actually meet her;  And as a consequence of the last hearing, nor did she write the statement/affidavit previously attributed to her.  [She now claims it was written by someone named “Francine”? ]

So how long before it is released that she was not actually on the phone with Trayvon?  And, what is becoming more than likely, she is, as was thought from the outset, a person fulfilling the role of a constructed character fabrication, ‘media evidence’.  400 minutes on the phone?  Yeah, riiiight.

Am I reading this correctly, this was ordered in chambers yesterday after the hearing?

The MDSPD was “in court” and delivered a copy?

What do you guys make of this?

The audio quality improves after about 6 minutes:

Florida Attorney General, and friend of Benjamin Crump, {{*INSERT LOUD CONFLICT OF INTEREST FLAG HERE}}  Pam Bondi, has filed the State’s response to the Defense request for a Writ of Certiorari surrounding deposition of Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump.

AG Pam Bondi has previously outlined, at great length -and effort for political capital-  her close personal friendship with Benjamin Crump.   During the Martin Lee Anderson Case Pam Bondi worked as prosecutor on behalf of the State of Florida, while Ben Crump was family attorney for the Andersons.

In addition, current special prosecutor, Angela Corey, was a campaign manager and advocate for Pam Bondi during Bondi’s 2010 campaign for Attorney General.

Here is the response pleading filed with the 10th District Court of Appeals: (more…)

So where do things stand?   

What happened to the release of the Martin Family VS. RTL Homeowners Association Settlement?     Wasn’t that supposed to be released around April 15th?…..  Or did O’Mara’s filing mess up that determination?

Next scheduled hearing date still scheduled for April 30th?

FYI, we will be following up with the M-DSPD Public Information Records request (FOIA) on Thursday if we do not hear anything over the next two days.

At 8:01 am this morning the Fifth District Court of Appeals in Florida gave Benjamin Crump 20 days to respond to the request for a Writ of Certiorari filed last week by George Zimmerman’s defense attorney Mark O’Mara – before they make a ruling.

After reception of Crumps response – O’Mara will have another 10 days to submit a reply.

At stake is whether or not Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, will be deposed during the discovery phase surrounding the State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

The judge, Debra Nelson, ruled twice that Benjamin Crump would not have to present himself for questioning by the defense surrounding the discovery, in March 2012, of a witness he named “Dee Dee” (Witness #8). (more…)
