“The Introduction”

On the night of February 26th, 2012, the life of George Zimmerman was changed forever.

Since that date he has been saddled not only with the anguish of having to take a life to save his own, but he has needed to endure the obligatory state-sponsored witch hunt to boot.

These are the burdens that few ordinary humans will ever have to bear. In times like these it’s always better to surround yourself with people who you TRUST.

Inevitably, in this day of GREED and SELFISHness, there are many people who use situations like this as a platform to further their own agenda. George Zimmerman has seen this GREED manifest itself in many forms from those he considers his best confidants. (more…)

If you have visited this site for any significant amount of time you know our position:

There are so many self-serving parties and affiliations within the Trayvon Martin shooting it is almost impossible to describe them all, and from the outset of our research and analysis of this now national case we have remained consistent with our approach.

We try diligently to present the information as it appears, to the best of our ability, without placing ourselves as a filter for the information.   We present the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of it all; and there is much ugliness as a direct outcome of money and financial positioning.

When approached by Ryan Julison we refused to be a part of the filtration system instead offering our site as a direct host for his perspective unedited.   To insure the absence of our perspective of his position bleeding into the narrative we asserted that we would not narrate his story, we would present it exactly as he presents.   He declined.  That approach is not within his paradigm.

There is enough filtering, and skewering/twisting of information; that approach is not within our mission statement. (more…)

The appellate court has agreed with defense attorney Mark O’Mara, and the accused George Zimmerman, that Judge Kenneth Lester is prejudiced in his rulings against Zimmerman and that George Zimmerman has reason to believe he is unable to receive a fair trial.   Subsequently Ken Lester has been removed.

Opinion filed August 29, 2012 – Petition for Writ of Prohibition
Kenneth R. Lester, Jr., Respondent Judge. – Mark M. O’Mara, of O’Mara Law Group,
Orlando, and Donald R. West, of Don West Law Group, P.A., Orlando for Petitioner.

Pamela J. Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee and Pamela J. Koller, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent.  PER CURIAM.

George Zimmerman petitions for issuance of a writ of prohibition. This is the proper mechanism for challenging the denial of a motion to disqualify a trial judge. See,
e.g., Lusskin v. State, 717 So. 2d 1076, 1077 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998).

Reviewing the matter de novo, see R.M.C. v. D.C., 77 So. 3d 234, 236 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012), we grant the petition. (more…)

(OrlandoSentinel) “Dr. Phil” last season turned to the Casey Anthony story with several high-profile episodes featuring George and Cindy Anthony.

This season, the syndicated series will take up another Central Florida story: George Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Travyon Martin. In a season preview clip, Dr. Phil McGraw asks two guests about Zimmerman. “Is he a racist? Is he a cowboy vigilante?” McGraw asks.

“Absolutely not,” says Mark Osterman, who describes himself as “the best friend of George Zimmerman, the most hated man in America.” McGraw notes that Osterman has never spoken out about Zimmerman. Osterman is a U.S. air marshal and former Seminole County deputy.

The new season starts Sept. 10. “Dr. Phil” airs at 3 p.m. weekdays on WOFL-Channel 35.

The “Dr. Phil” show, on its website, asks viewers: “Can you relate to George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin?” (more…)

According to a Treeper source unrelated to George or Shellie Zimmerman the following information is provided:

Hoping to portray George Zimmerman in a more favorable light Mark and Sondra Osterman will be releasing their book titled “DEFENDING OUR FRIEND, THE MOST HATED MAN IN AMERICA, THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN WE KNOW” on September 10th with a kickoff appearance on the Dr. Phil show with Trayvon’s former step-mom Alicia Martin.

*Note* Alicia Martin is Tracy Martin’s wife. Currently they are going through a divorce rumored to be because of Tracy’s two year live-in relationship with his girlfriend Brandi Green who lives at the sub-division where Trayvon was shot. Trayvon was staying with Brandi and Tracy, and Brandi’s son, Chad, at the time of the shooting.

Mark and Sondra Osterman will be on the Dr. Phil show on September 10th. Their book about George will be available then for purchase through Amazon, E book, and a link at Dr. Phil’s website. (more…)
