Those of you who were deep in the weeds during the Zimmerman research and discoveries might be interested in this little loose end.

During the “discovery phase”, and intense pre-trial preparation, Trayvon Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump refused explain or reconcile his public claims about witness #8 (he called “Dee Dee”).   Crump refused to discuss his relationship with witness #8 or anything about her despite his public, yet secretive, introductions of her to the media in March of the previous year (2012).

By the end of May 2013 a frustrated defense team couldn’t get Crump to explain his claims of Witness #8 being 16-years old (she wasn’t – she was 18 per the prosecution); or being “a minor” (she wasn’t per the prosecution); or being “Trayvon’s Girlfriend” (she wasn’t); or about her being in “the hospital” (she never was – lie admitted one day prior to her deposition); or about Trayvon knowing her “since Kindergarten” (she didn’t – only met him 2 weeks prior); or about her “writing a statement” (she didn’t – and couldn’t write); or about the State Attorney taking an affidavit from someone claiming to be her without ever asking for ID (yes, they actually did that); or about neither Crump nor the State of Florida, knowing Witness #8’s last name (yes, they both claimed they never asked).

Despite these ridiculous “on the record” discrepancies, Judge Debra Nelson refused to make  attorney Benjamin Crump answer questions about them. (more…)

NEW YORK — Bob Beckel, most recently a co-host on ‘The Five’ was let-go by Fox News over ‘personal issues.’

In March, Fox News said the Liberal host was recovering from back surgery.  Weeks later, Fox said Beckel had checked into a rehabilitation facility to receive treatment for a prescription drug addiction, Mediaite reported.

Fox News Executive VP of programming Bill Shine issued a short statement: “We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldn’t hold The Five hostage to one man’s personal issues. He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him.” (more…)

(Via Daily Caller) Former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner’s hard drive most likely crashed due to “an impact of some sort,” like somebody hitting it or smashing it, according to new congressional testimony.

Then the hard drive was shredded and its pieces were sold for scrap.

Lerner’s laptop, which crashed on June 11, 2011 between 5 and 7 PM, was sent to an IT technician two days later. The Hewlett-Packard technician looking at her laptop determined that the hard drive failed because of an impact of some sort. (more…)

SCOTUS did what many people figured they would do; with Chief Justice Roberts, yet again, joining the bench legislatures in a veiled effort to avoid the impression of a 5-4 ideological court.

SCOTUS – Today, by a vote of six to three, the Court agreed with the Obama administration that the subsidies are available for everyone who bought health insurance through an exchange, no matter whether that exchange was created by a state or the federal government.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the Court’s opinion, which Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan all joined.

The Court acknowledged that, at first blush, the phrase “established by the State” does not appear to include the federal government. After all, the ACA specifically defines “State” as “each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.” But other parts of the law, the Court explained, suggest that the “meaning of the phrase ‘established by the State’ is not so clear.” (more…)

The latest exploits of the Rebel Alliance (school capitalists/wolverines) finds them crouched behind the lockers selling restaurant style packets of salt, pepper and sugar to their classmates.

Secret handshakes and spy-like slight of hand exchanges in the hallways help the rebellious crew execute their scurrilous deeds while remaining undetected.

(Washington Examiner) School lunches are so bland that kids are selling salt and pepper to spice them up, a school official told lawmakers Wednesday.

This “contraband economy” is result of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act Of 2010, said John Payne, a school board president in Indiana.

The 2010 bill directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create national standards for food served and sold in schools, which included limits on what could be served and how much, as well as a maximum amount of calories that can be included in school meals.

Payne, president of the Blackford County School Board in Hartford City, Ind., told House lawmakers that students in his school district have been “caught bringing in — and even selling — salt, pepper and sugar in school to add taste to perceived bland and tasteless cafeteria food.” (more…)

Actions and Consequences

ACTIONS = Activists organize/rally in Charleston South Carolina yesterday:

CONSEQUENCES = The above professional agitation occurred simultaneous to this next event happening. (stay with it, you’ll see): (more…)

This is rich. While simultaneously saying the people of Baltimore are too stupid a mob to stop destroying their city, Mosby claims that it was imperative she remove the constitutional protections of the police department in order to save Baltimore; and people should be thanking her for sacrificing the police for the greater good of society.

(Baltimore Sun) State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s announcement of charges against six officers in connection with the arrest and death of Freddie Gray restored order to Baltimore “before the entire city became an armed camp or was burned to the ground,” her office argued in a new court filing.

Michael Schatzow, Mosby’s top deputy, asked a judge this week to deny a motion by attorneys for the officers asking that the charges against their clients be thrown out because of missteps they say Mosby made.

The defense lawyers argued that by publicly announcing the charges against the six officers involved in Gray’s April 12 arrest, Mosby unforgivably biased potential jurors against their clients.

But Schatzow said seeking to restore calm was a legitimate move.

“Speaking in the middle of an ongoing riot, Mrs. Mosby was trying to calm the crowd, not incite it,” Schatzow wrote. “Her repeated pleas for peace while the criminal justice system does its work served a legitimate law enforcement function.” (link)

Gregory K Nelson wanted for spontaneous act of confederacy. BOLO !!

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (KMOV.com) – Police have identified a suspect in the Tuesday night attempted murder of a trooper in East St. Louis, according to the Illinois State Police. Charges and warrants were issued Wednesday for 52-year-old Gregory K. Nelson of East St. Louis.

The St. Clair County EMA tweeted that police were fired at while on Interstate 255 near State Street around 11:30 Tuesday night.

According to officers at the shooting scene, the incident began when a trooper with the Illinois State Police pulled over Nelson for a suspected DUI. Nelson then reportedly exited his vehicle and had a conversation with the trooper before firing his weapon. (more…)

There’s something quite interesting in the Freddie Gray autopsy story that is seemingly overlooked by those who are discussing the controversial content.

It’s The Narrative That Makes The Difference !

When you go deep into the autopsy report, it is important to remember the sequence of events that facilitates the review; because, as many have mentioned, the ME analysis relies heavily on “an investigative narrative” to connect the fatal injury to the events of his arrest.

The autopsy report, as you will see, is roughly 90% dependent on the narrative delivered to the medical examiner, and only 10% constructed with the forensic evidence contained on the body of Freddie Gray.

To begin, note the medical examiner’s report is dated April 30th, 2015.

This is the day BEFORE the Baltimore Police rushed their partially complete report to Marilyn Mosby in anticipation of her direct action charges on May 1st. This means the narrative used within the ME report was not from the completed Baltimore Police investigation/report, but rather from Marilyn Mosby’s own investigative team to the ME. (more…)
