Quantcast

“Parseltongue” – If He Wins, He Loses – If He Loses, He Loses Less….

… such is the bizarre reality of George  Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara.

Mark O'Mara 1Before getting into the substance of this consideration – multiple disclaimers are needed.

It is a sad reality the previous sentence even needs to be advanced, but it has become a necessary consideration.   Because discussion of Mark O’Mara is so toxic and divisive, if we don’t quantify the substance of presentation with disclaimers we’ll spend a ridiculous amount of time having to moderate, explain and explain again.

We have approached both opinion and research on Mark O’Mara using the exact same methodology applied to all other parties in this case.  People like Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson, Daryl Parks, Ryan Julison, Francis Oliver, et al, and even the media people like Daralene Jones, Matt Gutman, Frances Robles, Joy-Ann Reid etc.   The exact same critical research approach has been applied.

Some people cannot accept using a critical lens to look at the O’Mara aspect.  Many of those people are no longer here because of their inherent constitution not to be open-minded in the same regard.

What sets the Treehouse apart from most all others, is analysis based on research to apply the most logical explanations, Occam’s Razor, to some of the most difficult to understand aspects of any issue.   The State of Florida V Zimmerman is one of the most challenging to understand from a perspective of intent and motivation.

A Father, A Good Man, A Book Review – Robert Zimmerman Senior

Robert Zimmerman SeniorPained, troubled and brave–those are the sentiments, turned adjectives, I would use to describe the word-image when reading the recently published book by Robert Zimmerman Sr.

Knowing the Zimmerman family found some form of understanding through the research we had compiled last year surrounding the entire scheme to arrest George Zimmerman is good. Reading the words of George’s father, Robert, we can grasp the feeling of being overwhelmed. ‘Fleas looking into the furnace of hate’ is how we visualized them last year.

The recent publication outlines that sense with profound affirmation.

As followers of this site will know by now, there was a time several months ago when all of my available options were exhausted. Our promise of intellectual honesty demanded we not pull punches, and speak the truth openly and directly regardless of consequence. But when it came to honest discussion of George’s legal counsel, Mark O’Mara, we knew the ground was precarious and filled with invisible land mines. Trepidations were overwhelming.

So reluctantly, out of fear of undermining George Zimmerman’s defense, and yet the need for a necessarily dictated honesty, we reached out to his Dad. (more…)

Thread #2 – Zimmerman Trial Day #5 – Open Discussion Thread *UPDATE* Added O’Mara Presser

Thread #2

george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 14th is DAY #5 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection. Yesterday the Court continued its preliminary questioning of prospective jurors, moving through 10 candidates by the end of the day.

The biggest event of the day, however, occurred shortly after the lunch recess when Judge Nelson’s announced from the bench that she would be ordering the sequestration of the jury for the duration of the trial,. She based this decision on the fact that both parties agreed the trial was likely to take two to four weeks, as opposed to the four to six weeks that many had anticipated.

It appeared that she had been inclined to sequester the jury if the sequestration period was not to be too long. With the agreement on the likely shorter duration of the trial, the balance swung in favor of sequestration. [Yesterday summary HERE]

Day #1 Zimmerman Trial – Open Discussion Thread

george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 10th is DAY #1 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.  Which was scheduled for jury selection.  However…..

We are not quite sure which events will flow first: jury selection, or, the remainder of the Frye hearing audio witness analysis.    Over the weekend the hearing arguments by both the defense and the Prosecution teams for their “audio experts” continued.  However, one of the Defense experts, Dr. James Wayman,  was unable to complete testimony on Saturday.  His testimony is anticipated to refute state expert Tom Owen.

Mark O’Mara told the media at the conclusion of the Saturday hearing he planned to request a continuance but, if not granted, was prepared either way.
