The number of people throughout this nation who can understand exactly what the issues are within this video would not fill a standard college lecture hall. Lucky for us, they are all reading this site. So y’all are in very good company.
It has been several months since this took place. And it might be a good time to refresh your memory, because its going to be with us for a while.
The Brady violations in State discovery are a big deal not only for George Zimmerman, but also for Ben Kruidbos, who has been fired from his job for speaking up about the hiding of, and manipulation of, evidence in the case. (more…)
During the time the jury was deliberating, and in anticipation of a possible guilty verdict, I had written a post outlining what was structurally wrong with the basis of the “optics” in the defense case. It contained, essentially, two possible issues to think about:
Then, as I was going to delete the post, it occurred to me that even in victory it actually still applies.
Why?
Well the structure of what I had written was about the aspects never presented to the jury. What I realized in reading it yesterday, was it still applies – only this time with modifications to explain why the viewing public had such a negative outcome to the verdict.
In essence, the same reason(s) the jury could have found George guilty, is the very same reason(s) the public is unable to accept his acquittal. FIRST: Mark O’Mara spent 4 minutes of silence to prove what exactly?
Sure, the implication was that Trayvon should have made it home; But he never actually said that directly, instead he just implied it was a possibility. Which “implies” Trayvon could have hidden around laying in wait for the “creepy ass cracka” to show up. But again he never actually presented the basis for Trayvon provoking the encounter. (more…)

Honorable Eric H. Holder Jr.
Attorney General of The United States Of America
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington DC, 20530-0001
Dear General Holder:
It has come to our attention that you have requested the citizens of the United States to provide your office with any evidence or documentation, to support your efforts, toward proving any civil rights violations in the case of The State of Florida VS. George Zimmerman.
Further we have found numerous national media articles citing your direct and specific request. It is our understanding you have created a website for the collection of evidence in that regard:
This is just unbelievable. This administration WANTS full blown race warfare. There is no other reason for setting up a national hotline for people to email in tips to aid in the prosecution of George Zimmerman. Keep in mind the name on this Orlando Sentinel report. Dept of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Department of Community Relations, TOM PEREZ. The same Tom Perez President Obama nominated for Labor Secretary. (more after article) ORLANDO – The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday afternoon appealed to civil rights groups and community leaders, nationally and in Sanford, for help investigating whether a federal criminal case might be brought against George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, one advocate said.
The DOJ has also set up a public email address to take in tips on its civil rights investigation.
Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law – who earlier in the day joined calls for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, said that later in the afternoon, she joined a U.S. Department of Justice conference call to discuss the prospects.

People don’t come to the Tree House to read the same story they can get from the Lame Stream Media, they come here to understand what is the back story that’s not being told. Zimmerman trial witness Rachel Jeantel was on CNN last night for an interview:
But the back story is who’s her handler?…. it’s one of the original players from the origin of the Scheme Team fraud, Rod Vereen:
“She really doesn’t want to be here,” Jeantel’s lawyer, Rod Vereen, said before she took the stand.
It showed. At one point, the key prosecution witness blurted out, “That’s retarded, sir.” That came after defense attorney Don West claimed Martin attacked Zimmerman. (link)
Who is Rod Vereen? We know him well, we wrote about him over a year ago. The associations highlighted explain how Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s dad, was put into contact with Benjamin Crump, the proverbial head of the “scheme team”, and along the way the cast of characters is quite interesting.
As well as one seeking political office in Miami-Dade. (more…)
Well, there you have it. Trayvon family attorney, Jasmine Rand, from the Daryl Parks and Ben Crump law firm, makes the following statement [@2:35 in video]:
…”I have a greater duty, beyond the law, and that’s to be a social engineer”…
Just like Miami-Dade School Superintendent, Alberto Carvalho; Just like Miami-Dade School Police Chief Charles Hurley; Just like DOJ Attorney General, Eric Holder, and just like President Obama, former community organizer, the greater goal “beyond the law” is to be a social engineer. (more…)
Wow, there are not enough negative adjectives to describe what is taking place in this interview. However, I believe Angela Corey opens herself to liable at the end of it, where she describes George Zimmerman as a murderer, post acquittal.
[…] Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally-charged issues that this case has raised. We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity pass.
[…] Moreover, I want to assure you that the Department will continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law. We are committed to standing with the people of Sanford, with the individuals and families affected by this incident, and with our state and local partners in order to alleviate tensions, address community concerns, and promote healing. We are determined to meet division and confusion with understanding and compassion – and also with truth. (link- his comments continue)
“Determined to meet division … with truth” Really? This is the type of comment you see associated with political pandering. Eric Holder already knows the truth, the FBI spent tens of thousands of hours looking for any evidence of racism in the Zimmerman case. None exists. (more…)
Apparently the TRUTH Behind Our Investigations are reaching the mainstream blogosphere. American Spectator has picked up the story. So too has Atlasshrugs:
M-DSPD instructions developed and enforced by Chief Hurley reveal that their police reports were not created for the purposes of law enforcement, but for school disciplinary actions.
The re-qualifying/redefining of student-police contacts ordered by the School Superintendent and the School Police Chief are at the heart of the issue that surfaces surrounding the Trayvon Martin case; and the involvement of Martin with the Miami-Dade School Police Dept
It was during 2009/2010 that the police chief had instructed his officers to find alternate methods for dealing with behavioral issues of school students. Officer Tagle affirms, and other witnesses corroborate, the instructions were specifically targeted to young black males within the Miami-Dade Public School system.
On October 21st, 2011, a burglary took place a few blocks from Krop Senior High School where Trayvon Martin attended. The stolen property outlined in the Miami-Dade Police Report (PD111021-422483) matches the descriptive presented by SRO Dunn in his School Police report 2011-1477 (more…)
