The State of Florida has filed a response to the defense sanctions motion regarding their attempt to block videotaping of Witness #8 “DeeDee” during deposition in the George Zimmerman Case.

The response motion to the court is filled with a laugh out loud admission of their incompetence in the attempt to block videotaping.   Bernie De La Rionda opines that he never paid any attention to the “intent to videotape” the deposition and whines that no-one else was video taped – therefore he didn’t expect it.

BDLR compains that he should not be sanctioned for his obstruction – despite the court ruling that videotaping was appropriate and the defense team adequately informed the State of their intention ahead of deposition session.

(VIA BEN JEALOUS) One year later, the Trayvon Martin tragedy still stings – and some people are still throwing salt on the open wound. Last week George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman, posted a tweet comparing Trayvon Martin to De’Marquis Elkins, 17-year-old black teenager charged with fatally shooting a one-year-old baby.

The tweet showed a photo of Elkins side by side with a photo of Martin, both making inappropriate gestures, with the caption “A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?”

Zimmerman’s follow-up tweet read “Lib[eral] media [should] ask if what these [two] black teens did [to] a [woman and her baby] is the reason [people] think blacks might [be] risky”. The implication was that Trayvon Martin’s actions on the night he was murdered were equivalent to the killing of an innocent child. (more…)

The following article is a highlight submitted to the mailroom and presented by reader/contributor “Ackbarsays” Such a great job was done in presentation that we’ll just present it as it was submitted, including commentary by Ackbarsays, and you can determine for yourself the agenda at play.   This example cuts to many of the central issues surrounding stories you are seeing under current headlines.

Ackbarsays (ABS) Writes: This article concerns Bethune Cookman University. You’ll remember them because a group of BCU students famously marched from downtown Daytona Beach to Sanford during the height of the whole Zimmerman lynch-fest last year.   This private university of less than 3600 students is asking (demanding?) they be allowed to establish their own police force, answerable to the school president rather than the local police chief. Note that they try to cover their real intentions by saying that this is about student safety (an “added layer of protection” from “violent shooters”).  I highlighted a few things and added a few notes:

DAYTONA BEACH — Bethune-Cookman University could have its own independent police force in about five months, an autonomous law enforcement agency that would report to the school’s president — not the city’s police chief.

That’s the hope of top B-CU officials who have been talking to city officials and working on a proposed agreement they would like city commissioners to vote on within the next month.

“As we looked across the country at the number of violent shooters, the Board of Trustees felt we needed an added layer of protection,” said Cheryl Lawson-Young, B-CU’s crime prevention and compliance manager. (more…)

I know we all enjoyed watching Bernie go off the deep end in his response to the sanctions motions. But to make things even better, it appears that the meltdown may have been helped along by some things Sundance has done. And not only did Bernie make a fool of himself, but much more importantly this could have a real impact on the case as we move forward.

You all know there’s been a pretty major rift here at the Treehouse over Mark O’Mara. Some of it has to do with the feelings by some here that he isn’t always forceful enough in his defense of George, and that he sometimes goes off on tangents that don’t seem helpful (like saying “We should have a discussion about race”). But another major issue has been how MOM handled the whole PayPal Fiasco way back when.

Some people here thought it was a big deal; others not so much. But regardless, most of us agreed that it probably WAS something that the prosecution was hoping to use as some kind of leverage over him. (more…)

Shock FAIL !!! 🙁   Ya just can’t make this stuff up…..

Orlando – Cecil Smith was sworn in as Sanford’s new police chief this morning and vowed to spend as much time in the community as he does behind his desk.

Smith, the former deputy chief in Elgin, Ill., was sworn in by Mayor Jeff Triplett at City Hall. About 100 people attended the event, including city commissioners, Seminole Sheriff Don Eslinger and dozens of police officers. (more)

First The Timeline (all dates 2012):

• Friday March 16th –  Tripletts office 911 call tapes released to Scheme Team.
• Saturday March 17th – Supposedly (per initial Crump explanation) the date Tracy discovered DeeDee via checking on-line phone records for account.
• Sunday March 18th –  Supposedly (per initial Crump explanation) the date Tracy called Dee Dee and then called Crump between 4:00pm and 7:00pm.
• Monday March 19th – The infamous phone interview with W8 was conducted.
• Tuesday March 20th – The infamous Benjamin Crump “minor child” {*lunch time} press conference.

Now review what ABC was reporting: Ad rem has assembled the reports into one video so the locations v. narrative can be understood.

It has been noted on multiple GZ talk sites, and we’ve rec’d a few emails about, general mistakes and misperceptions which are leading many people into far afield hypothesis.  Especially about the newly released W8 Handwritten statement/letter.   Rather than answer each email individually the below information should clarify our research and understanding.

I don’t know if these distractions are intentional, or just because new people are joining in the various discoveries and beginning to “wake up”….

Regardless, If this helps, great.  If not… oh well. (more…)

THERE IS A LESSON IN HERE..… Last week two different people used social media to send messages.

State Representative Joe Mitchell sent an e-mail:

‘Hey man,’ Mitchell wrote. ‘Your folk never used all this sheit [sic] to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed [sic], imported criminal-minded kin folk.’
