Megyn Kelly’s Response To O’Mara…“HUH???” – (Video)

The subject of today’s Kelly’s Court was O’mara’s recent decision to seek a dismissal of the case based on a traditional self-defense argument and NOT the state’s “stand your ground” statue.  Brilliant move to avoid laying out all the evidence before this judge?

Exploited Opportunism? – Is Mark Osterman Exploiting Zimmerman Friendship and Shooting Case For Financial Gain?……

The Love of Money is The Root of All Evil

Everyone has an agenda, a historic and unfortunate fact embedded in, and a consequence of, the ultimate root of evil – the “love of money”.

This would include a diverse and somewhat disparate list of interested affiliations with the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.   From self-serving media entities, to the concentric circles of self-identified “friends”, and perhaps even some family members surrounding George and Shellie Zimmerman.  One can well imagine how “trust” would be a scarce commodity.

The latest Nuevo faux-cause celeb seeking his forty pieces of silver, fifteen minutes of fame and pound of proverbial flesh is Mark Osterman.   The former friend, advocate and confidant of George Zimmerman is writing a book to share/expose his experience inside the hurricane of hate surrounding the George Zimmerman V. Trayvon Martin fiasco.

We use the term “former” in relation to the friendship because one can scarcely imagine a scenario where a book release ahead of potential litigation would be beneficial.   Especially if you are a potential witness in the trial of a friend and now committing potential testimony to paper in advance.   Not a good idea under any circumstance.

Osterman was noted as a witness interviewed by the FBI who were looking into allegations of Zimmerman’s racism, and his identity was outed by Frances Robles of the Miami Herald in July.   Coincidentally Mr. Osterman lives in the same Lake Mary community where Cristina Meza, the accusatory cousin of George also grew up.

Apparently Mark Osterman is busy making the Madison Avenue rounds and guest appearing on pre-taped TV shows in preparation for his upcoming book release.  Nothing of any ‘good moral value’ is ever an outcome from this type of crap.

There will be a SYG (“Stand Your Ground”) Hearing

The website managed by the Mark O’Mara Law Firm confirms the defense strategy will include preparing for a “Stand Your Ground” (SYG) hearing.

THERE WILL BE A “STAND YOUR GROUND” HEARING IN THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN CASE

ON 09 AUGUST 2012. Since the beginning, there has been a rush to judgement in the case against George Zimmerman. Since the first day of his involvement, Mr. O’Mara has emphasized that people should be patient and wait for the evidence to be released before forming opinions about the case.

Now that the State has released the majority of their discovery, the defense asserts that there is clear support for a strong claim of self-defense. Consistent with this claim of self-defense, there will be a “Stand Your Ground” hearing.

In the case against George Zimmerman, a “Stand Your Ground” hearing will essentially be a mini-trial. Most of the arguments, witnesses, experts, and evidence that the defense would muster in a criminal trial will be presented in the “Stand Your Ground” hearing.

A finding in Zimmerman’s favor would end the criminal case against him, as  well as immunizing him from civil action.  The law allows people to use deadly force, rather than retreat, if they  believe their lives are in danger.
