A Florida Criminal Lawyer Explains "Stand Your Ground" in Action For Zimmerman…

Zimmerman had just called the police.  He expected an officer to arrive at any moment.  The last thing he wanted to do is get into a fight with the very guy he’s called them about.


FLORIDA – Under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, if George Zimmerman can convince a judge that he acted justifiably, he is entitled to immunity from prosecution.  That means no jury; no conviction; no jail.  Think of it as a big “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
It is worth repeating: Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law does not just provide an affirmative defense; it provides immunity.  The distinction is extremely significant.
For instance, just last month, a Florida judge dismissed Second Degree Murder charges in the killing of Pedro Roteta, an unarmed 26 year old man.  The defendant, Greyston Garcia, allegedly saw Roteta steal a radio from Garcia’s truck.  Unlike George Zimmerman, Greyston Garcia didn’t call the police before running after Pedro Roteta.  Instead, Garcia grabbed a large knife and chased Roteta for at least a block.
Upon catching up with Roteta, Garcia proceeded to stab Roteta to death.  After the brutal killing, Garcia took Roteta’s bag of stolen radios and allegedly pawned two of them; he also hid the knife and never called 911 to report the incident.  Nevertheless, thanks to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” immunity clause, Greyston Garcia never faced a jury.  Instead, Garcia filed a Motion to Dismiss and testified that Roteta swung a bag of stolen radios at his head.  Fearing for his life, Garcia claims that he stood his ground–and stabbed Roteta to death.
That’s right: Garcia ran down and stabbed an unarmed man to death; pawned the items taken from the dead man; and hid the knife from police.  Yet, Garcia never stood trial or faced a jury.  How is that possible?  Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” immunity clause. (more…)

Crumped Up Charges….

Now we know the funeral director Richard Kurtz specifically and intentionally lied about injuries to Trayvon Martin. That’s right. “Lied”. It was not a mistake, it was not a lack of knowledge, it was a lie.  The lie was created to help the Crumped up Charges.  This is Richard Kurtz:



The autopsy confirms Trayvon’s hands were cut and bruised. The funeral director lied, period. But Benjamin Crump cannot let his false case slip through his fingers, so he spins.

Remember the Parks, Crump, Jackson, Martin, Fulton goal is a trial. That’s the key to their civil “wrongful death lawsuit“. Not a conviction, a trial. They manipulated their way to an arrest via public opinion pressure, now they are trying to manipulate their way to a trial; hiding their agenda behind the auspices of seeking justice.

Update #23 – Trayvon Martin Shooting – The Manipulations and Agendas Begin to Show…..

WHY THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR LIED


Today a WFTV report shows some aspects of the autopsy performed on Trayvon Martin.  The autopsy reveals bruising and cuts to the hands of Trayvon Martin consistent with the statements and accounts of George Zimmerman.   It should also be noted this is the same autopsy Trayvon Family Attorney Benjamin Crump filed a previous injunction to suppress.
We have outlined the lies, falsehoods and specific manipulations by various parties associated with the false narrative.    For this update, against the backdrop of the autopsy discovery, we will revisit the lies by Trayvon Family Funeral Director Richard Kurtz, and show the agenda driven intent.

Zimmerman Case: O'Mara Death Threats – Discovery – DeeDee/W8

First the article then some thoughts

Copy of Corey’s Redacted Witness List filing available HERE

ORLANDO, Fla. — George Zimmerman’s attorney  was threatened in an anonymous phone call Monday, according to Orlando Police  Department officers.
Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara received the call, officers said, while  waiting for evidence from prosecutors. The call came from a blocked number and  an unidentified man made some sort of threat, mentioning Zimmerman by name, but  officers did not elaborate further.    Officers are looking into the threat.

On Monday, O’Mara received 67 discs, a witness list and hundreds of pages  of documents in the case against his client. George Zimmerman is accused of  shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin to death. (more…)

Hate Crime Charge For Zimmerman, Or Media Hype Disguised As Reporting?


Zimmerman Maternal Family

The basic premise for a federal “hate crime” charge against George Zimmerman would be proof that the reason for his approaching Trayvon Martin was specifically and intentionally due to his race.    However, how can a black male, which, by definition George Zimmerman is, be charged with a race crime against another black male?
If President Obama is black then George Zimmerman is black.
George Zimmerman’s Grandparents were black, his mother was black, and there is multiple racial ancestry within his family.   So does Eric Holder actually propose to be the first Attorney General in the history of Hate Crime Legislation who is going to charge a hate crime regardless of ethnicity, when the very definition of “hate crime” is dependent on ethnicity?    If so, there are a bunch of Chicago murders now eligible for Federal Hate Crime legislation.     This is ridiculous.   Implausible, insufferable, and ridiculous.
SANFORD, Fla. —  WFTV has learned charges against George Zimmerman could be getting more serious.  State prosecutors said Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, profiled and stalked 17-year-old Trayvon Martin before killing him, so the FBI is now looking into charging him with a hate crime. (more…)

Zimmerman Prosecutor Files Witness List – Eight Page Document

UpdateFor whatever reason Weiner or Stutzman are updating this article from their original construct and NOT notifying readers. They have included several paragraphs from the original article….. /SD

The New Jersey forensics expert is more than likely the discredited “audio-expert“, Tom Owen, who the Orlando Sentinel used to advance the narrative on the 911 audio.  As of this update the Florida Courts website still had not added any new discovery information to their overview.    Rene Stutzman and Jeff Weiner provide the latest update from the Sentinel:

HatTip ‘pjrpjp’  SANFORD – As the world eagerly awaits the release of never-before-seen evidence in the case against George Zimmerman, employees for Special Prosecutor Angela Corey late this afternoon provided a preview in the form of an eight-page document.
The paperwork, filed with the Seminole County clerk as closing time approached, listed several witnesses the state plans to call and identified several pieces of the evidence prosecutors expect to use in their second-degree murder case against Zimmerman.

Most names were redacted from the document, but six civilian witnesses were listed: Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin — parents of the alleged victim, Trayvon Martin — as well as Trayvon’s brother, Jahvarius Fulton; Zimmerman’s neighbor, Frank Taaffe; his friend, Joe Oliver; and his father, Robert Zimmerman.

Three More Arrests In Virginia-Pilot Beatings

Police in Norfolk, Va., have arrested three more black teenagers in connection with a mob assault last month on two white reporters for the local newspaper, a case which has sparked national public outrage but little media attention.

Two 16-year-olds and one 13-year-old were taken into custody Saturday, each charged with two counts of simple assault by mob and one count of participation in a riot, both of which are misdemeanors.
It brings the total number of arrested suspects to four, since another 16-year-old was arrested May 3, charged with throwing a missile at a vehicle, a felony, as well as two counts of simple assault by mob, destruction of property and participation in a riot, all misdemeanors. (more…)

Update #22 – Trayvon Martin Shooting – Hold Them All Accountable

Sybrina ‘MsCandy’ Fulton  aka TrayMom™

Zimmerman Family

The media positioning in the Trayvon™ Martin v. George Zimmerman case is in full skulk-like retreat mode.   They are quietly trying to distance themselves from the original narrative they sold to the consuming public.
Readers, and those who have followed this story, have an important decision to make.  Are you willing to allow the media to backtrack without any consequential accountability for the damage they have caused?
It is an interesting exercise to look back at the original framing to see how the construct of a false narrative was intentionally injected into the media stream.   As this entire narrative played out we have kept a close eye on the key strategists responsible for the false storyline and it is worthwhile to revisit and reconsider, knowing now what you did not know then.    Two examples of initially toxic and dangerous media framing come immediately to mind.
