Today, June 25th, is DAY #12 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. An explosive first day of opening statements and witnesses took place yesterday.

[yesterday] saw the completion of opening statements and the launch of the State’s case, with four of the State’s witnesses being brought to the stand. In a nutshell, I thought the defense did a far superior job in cross-examination than the State did on direct, with it’s own witnesses, which does not bode well for the State’s prospects in this case.

… even within the black community of Sanford.   Wow, what a staggering turn-a-round.   The NAACP event, which was WIDELY publicized by the ever helpful media, was a MASSIVE Thud.   Less than 200 people showed up at the Allen Chapel AME Church.

No Al Sharpton? No Ben Jealous?  No Jesse Jackson?

This is HUGE news.   Of course the NAACP goes in full spin control mode and proclaims they are not going to protest at the courthouse, because no-one should tell them where they can protest.   Which actually means, we can’t get enough people to show up so we’ll make some pathetic excuse to avoid the reality.   I was wondering why the media was not showing the outside of the courthouse.  Makes sense now.  No wonder the Scheme Team is distraught.  Here is the story from an NAACP friendly, white-apologist, local media outlet.

SANFORD — As the first day of the George Zimmerman trial comes to a close, supporters of Trayvon Martin and his family joined together not far from the courthouse to remember the teen.

Nearly 200 members of Seminole County’s NAACP spent the night of opening statements not in protest zones or in rallies but rather in prayer at the Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Sanford. (more…)

Benjamin Crump on AC360 last night.  Anderson Cooper asks him a question about “Dee Dee” (whom everyone assumes is witness #8) and his involvement in finding her – Watch Crump strategically parse words to deflect the “media evidence” onto the phone records.

Dee Dee  (16 year old, hospitalized, minor child, with extremely concerned parents) becomes known as a phone number.   A phone number is not a person.

Why?

Because then the owner of the phone number, whoever she is selected to be, becomes Dee Dee. (more…)

Here is the kid who never stood a chance.   People called him “Trey”, or “Slim”

Had the defense been prepared to make this argument -which understandably they were not – they could have removed Tracy from seeing/listening to witness testimony based on him giving intentionally and factually incorrect statements to Law Enforcement.

Skip video to 18:00 for the ruling and understanding of precedent used by Nelson to establish grounds for ruling:

Using the Beasley case as citation, the lie told by Tracy Martin about driving Trayvon 1/2 way to Sanford during his sworn statement to Law Enforcement on April 2nd 2012;  which is now conclusively shown as a false statement with evidence submitted by the State of Trayvon Martin’s phone records of him taking the bus the whole way and texting his sitting at the bus-stop waiting for Brandi Greene to pick him up;  Tracy Martin – as a potential trial witness – could be excluded (sequestered) from the courtroom.

Of course the point is now moot – but could still be argued if the Defense wanted it to be.

In the sake of time I’m going to be focused sharply and may not have full explanation so bear with me.

In my youth I had the great opportunity to work with, and be mentored by, a spokesperson for the Supreme Court of the United States.   Back when that position held SERIOUS clout. [Incidentally, GOP Congressman, and later House Speaker Newt Gingrich, also knew this fellow quite well.]

The guy could just flat out debate and deconstruct better than the next closest 100 people combined. He was an intellectual powerhouse of significant magnitude, and ultimately would forget more about position advancement than anyone else would ever learn.

What you saw Don West do with the knock-knock joke (albeit stumbly bumbly) was a cognitive reset. When you ask an engaged listening audience (during debate), in this case a jury: “how many pancakes does it take to fill a canoe”? It’s like taking a massive cognitive eraser to a mental white board.

All prior thoughts are frozen, all ponderings of what you just heard stop; and, most importantly, your focus is unintentionally snapped into position, on the questioner, by the questioner.

It is a classic old school cognitive reset tool to get people to not only stop thinking about what was previous, but it actually wipes out memory. It’s just the way synapses fire – Awesome job by West regardless of how it made him look. (more…)
