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.

Ever since the name “Francine” came up during the George Zimmerman hearing(s) as the author of the DeeDee statement, and chaperone for the August 2012 visit to Jacksonville, many people have been puzzled by exactly who this person could be.

According to statements/testimony during the discovery hearings, during her deposition Witness #8 (aka Dee Dee) claimed the letter/statement with her signature was not authored by her, but by a person named “Francine” of unknown  (to W8) last name.  It was also stated during the more recent hearing that “Francine” accompanied Witness #8 to Jacksonville for a follow-up of some sort with the State’s attorney.

Many people have been chewing this revelation over and speculating about who “Francine” might be.   It is an interesting consideration. (more…)

If there was any doubt about the strength of the professional grievance industry aligned against George Zimmerman, and their single-minded focus to convict him despite he evidence to the contrary, one only needs to look at a recent Bay 9 interview with Francis Oliver, the mother of Trayvon Martin family attorney Natalie Jackson.

The ‘in-your-face’ level of racism expressed by Oliver is quite staggering to witness. However, it should not come as a surprise given the embedded hatred Oliver carries for non-blacks.

“I’ve been fighting white people my whole life seems like” Francis Oliver March 18th 2012

What should be alarming to casual followers is witnessing Oliver’s expressed strategic goal of getting like-minded black racists to find their way onto the jury. Even to the extent of her outlining how potential black jurors need to conceal their animosity:

“Don’t get eliminated before you even get a chance to be questioned. We definitely don’t want it to the point that all blacks are eliminated because we got over excited and blew our chances. At least give us a chance. Give yourself a chance,” said Oliver.

“blew our chances“?    Blew their chances at what exactly?  Sorry, that’s a rhetorical question, we know exactly what the goal is here – Ms. Oliver has outlined it clearly in all of her prior points of advocacy.   The goal is to convict George Zimmerman AT ALL COSTS. (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:

The George Zimmerman case was not a fight we chose, it was a fight that chose us. We wanted to find the truth, the opposition wanted to hide the truth – such is the nature of the conflict comprised.

That said, the serious issues at hand are far greater than a product now defined as George Zimmerman. However, the ideological argument is always augmented with the consideration that one man’s freedom does actually lie in the balance.

What George Zimmerman ‘the product’ is to the Professional Black Grievance Industry, albeit under the auspices of ‘civil rights and wrongful death’ protestations, is not dissimilar to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and what he was for the Obama administration.

Both Nakoula and Zimmerman are tools, representative products, needed to advance a claim. The merit of the claim is tied intrinsically into the narrative that each product represents for those who seek to use it. (more…)

Given recent Orlando experience with the Casey Anthony trial verdict, Mark O’Mara is seeking to protect the jury in the George Zimmerman case from a similar fate.

The motion, filed by the defense to afford the jury protections, anonymity et al, are prudent considering the inflamed nature of the charges and sentiment surrounding the case against George Zimmerman.

Many of those concerns are outlined with specific example in the recent filing. To substantiate his request O’Mara has compiled an extensive list of exhibits attached to his motion.

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…)

Timing is everything, and the media production crews are very pleased with how things are coming along with recent Court cases.   Now that the Arias trial has ended, the Gosnell trial merely days away from finality, and the Tsarnaev  trial slated for sometime in the fall, that leaves a window of opportunity for George Zimmerman to take center stage this summer:

The “media” has a vested ratings, viewership and financial interest in seeing this trial take place exactly as scheduled.   Expect any request from Mark O’Mara for delay to be met with the full-throated ire of a National Media Press Corp.

A few interesting insights filed today in the State V. George Zimmerman case.

Including the minutes from the April 30th Hearing (*Note* exhibit “C” strangely out of place amid court notes – Hmmmm ?)
