Predictions:  Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Lester will quit the case – The underlying biased witness #9 (Meza-Johnson) nonsense  was just the icing on the cake filled with bias.  Besides he is still taking judicial action even after a motion to recuse has been filed.    He is lining up his ducks, headed out, before he has to deal with a few issues stemming from his Fraternity Brother, Mark O’Mara.

Crazy Cousin Cristine issues will go nowhere:  They can’t, she’s not stable, and the entire thing is a joke on the media at this point.  Benjamin Crump swung for the fence he over promised #9 and waaaaaaaay  under delivered about a #2.    ***** Whiff *****  If he runs the bases on a strike-out he’ll look silly.  There is no “There” there….

But the biggie is the exposure of Mark O’Mara to big legal issues.   As Ad rem has outlined, it  is looking more and more like O’Mara knew about the defense fund money prior to the bond hearing.   And, if push comes to shove, the potential exists for witnesses to be brought forth to give testimony under oath of prior conversations about that defense fund.   Who knew what, where, and most importantly, when?
From what can be unearthed and understood within the “Orlando Courthouse Club”, apparently there is somewhat of an unwritten rule in the profession about shaping money, or ignoring ‘found money’, until after indigent filing;   and it’s done on purpose. (more…)

This whole thing is a mess.   A fabricated mess.  New media reports now reflect that 27-year-old  Christina Meza Johnson, was shopping her story?    The mainstream media essentially left a trail of breadcrumbs right up to her front door (see below) yet, some professional media people are “surprised” that her name is so easily known.  Seriously?
(Miami Herald) […] “It’s completely irrelevant, and now we will have to waste 50 hours on something that will never make it to a courtroom,” he [O’Mara] told The Miami Herald Monday night. “He [Zimmerman] denies it. He is saying that it never happened.”
O’Mara said he’s now put in the position of having to discredit the woman, by pointing out things like that she tried to sell her story to People magazine. (more)

“Mischief Managed”

If you were to read the NBC labeled African-American Interest Website TheGrio.Com one would think that our little insignificant Treehouse blog with no affiliation to anything, “outed” the identity of Witness #9  Christina Meza-Johnson.
Alas, the actual facts are again divergent from the poor reporting done by main stream authors.  In this case Ms. Joy-Ann Reid.
We should give due credit, where credit is due; and it most certainly does not belong to us.
Perhaps after we share with Ms. Reid and others the facts of the “outing” we might be able to talk people into a little actual fact-based investigative journalism in the Trayvon Martin Shooting case.  The least we can do is try.
If  Ms. Reid actually did a little research, of her own peers, in their words, she would discover the media had already “outed” Cristina Meza, aka Cristina M Johnson.  Starting with Matt Gutman identifying her as George Zimmerman’s cousin: (more…)

It would depend on the parabola.
Hopefully none except the most research minded Treepers will find this post.  I’m kinda burying it on purpose…. (more…)

The following exerpt is from a speech recently given by John Derbyshire:
John Derbyshire Via (vdare.com)   […] Mainstream Conservatism, like any other kind of Conservatism, is up against a very formidable foe. Because of my own professional background as a systems analyst, I think of that foe as “the installed base.”
Imagine you are hired in with a team of computer specialists to give a bank a computerized system for running its books. The job would be pretty easy if you could start from scratch, with a bank that had nothing but paper record-keeping—or better still, with a new-founded bank that had no established system of record-keeping at all.
Unfortunately things are rarely like that. The bank you are contracted to already has a computer system. It’s been in use for years, and it’s a mess. The databases are festooned with redundancies and contradictions, the code is unreadable, and the users have to do time-wasting work-arounds to deal with all the anomalies.
Everyone’s used to this creaking, leaking old system, though, and comfortable with it. They know its faults, but they know how to cope with them, like an old married couple. They resent you coming in and imposing new methods on them. (more…)

“Keep Hope A Lie”

(The Hill) — President Obama’s reelection campaign is making a determined and carefully calibrated effort to boost enthusiasm among black voters, a group that could swing the election in key battleground states.

Polls have Obama winning more than 90 percent of the black vote against Mitt Romney, but there are signs that the high African-American turnout that fueled his 2008 victories in North Carolina and Virginia could dissipate after the hard realities of the president’s first term.
The chances for depressed turnout are increased by the bad economy, which at its worst drove the unemployment rate for blacks above 16 percent and led to some disillusionment with the candidate of “hope and change.” (more…)

Perhaps “fear” is actually stronger than Sunlight – Sunlight might dull the appearance of a Tattoo, but “Fear” actually removes it.

Too much newly unearthed research to cover in one substantive and digestible thread.  So let us once again consider this Part 1 in a two-part series.   Part 1 dealing with Gang Membership, Parenting–or the lack thereof–and gang affiliation.   With Part 2 dealing with The Masonic Connection and research into Tracy Martin/Brandi Green’s “ACTUAL and TRUTHFUL” whereabouts on Saturday February 25th and Sunday February 26th.

 “Crippin’ is a choice, but it’s forever. You may slow down, but you will always be down forever.”

It started with trying to figure out why Traydaddy, Tracy Martin, changed his neck tattoo sometime between March 22nd and March 26th.   Perhaps Trayvon’s other Ghost-Daddy, President Barack Obama, …”if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon”, coming out four square on the side of Team Skittles had something to do with the need to clean up the image.  I mean, it would certainly appear, well, odd, if Barack Obama was ghost parent to a “gang banger”.

Prior to March 22nd Tracy Martin proudly displayed the following neck tattoo:

 It appears to say “CaT” in scrolled tattoo script.

Sometime between 3/22 and 3/26 the tattoo was redone, “CaT” was covered up and it was made to look like this: (more…)

CNN TRANSCRIPT: 7/13/12

And now, new developments tonight in the case against George Zimmerman. Defense attorney Mark O’Mara has filed a motion to disqualify the judge. Kenneth Lester is his name and Mark O’Mara says he’s biased against Zimmerman. He said this after he made what O’Mara is called gratuitous and disparaging remarks in his bail order last week.
Including and I quote, “Under any definition, the defendant has flouted the system.” And, I quote again, “The defendant has tried to manipulate the system when he has been presented the opportunity to do so.” Those and other remarks are what the defense says will prevent Zimmerman from getting a fair trial.
CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame is OUTFRONT.
Mark, do those statements, flouted the system and manipulating the system, do you agree with Mark O’Mara, that those are gratuitous and disparaging? Or are those fair ways to describe someone who when asked if he had money said no and he really did have money?
MARK NEJAME, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: I think it’s a fair comment from a court who’s evaluating the evidence, one can agree or disagree. But you can’t throw a judge off every time you disagree with him because basically you’d have half the judges thrown off at any given time, because somebody typically is going to be on the other side.
The fact is, is that, you know, the question will be did the judge go too far to suggest that he’s in fact, might be biased? I don’t think the judge is biased at all. (more…)

If anyone thinks this was a motion defense *cough* attorney Mark O’Mara wanted to file, well, I’ve got a bunch of beautiful land in south Florida to sell ya.   This motion was filed with strong hostile objection and forced client representation.   – /SD

H/T…hdfboo7…Verified Motion to Disqualify Trial Judge
(USAToday)…George Zimmerman wants a new judge to preside over his murder trial for shooting Trayvon Martin, arguing the current judge is biased against him.
Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, filed a motion to disqualify Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester, who revoked Zimmerman’s bond and then set a new, substantially higher bond.
“Mr. Zimmerman has a reasonable fear that he cannot get a fair trial or a fair stand your ground hearing by this court,” O’Mara wrote. “The court makes gratuitous, disparaging remarks about Mr. Zimmerman’s character; advocates for Mr. Zimmerman to be prosecuted for additional crimes; offers a personal opinion about the evidence for said prosecution; and continues to hold over Mr. Zimmerman’s head the threat of future contempt proceedings.”  (more…)

“He listed Sgt. Arthur Barnes, Rebecca Villenova, and Trekelle Perkins as all pressuring him to file charges against Zimmerman after the incident. […]  Serino also stated that Barnes is friendly with Tracy Martin and Barnes asked Serino for Martin’s phone number, but ended up getting the phone number from another source.” 

The lead Sanford Police investigator who sought manslaughter charges against George Zimmerman told the FBI that a sergeant and two others officers tried to pressure him into making an arrest in the controversial case — even though he didn’t think there was enough evidence.
