george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 10th is DAY #1 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.  Which was scheduled for jury selection.  However…..

We are not quite sure which events will flow first: jury selection, or, the remainder of the Frye hearing audio witness analysis.    Over the weekend the hearing arguments by both the defense and the Prosecution teams for their “audio experts” continued.  However, one of the Defense experts, Dr. James Wayman,  was unable to complete testimony on Saturday.  His testimony is anticipated to refute state expert Tom Owen.

Mark O’Mara told the media at the conclusion of the Saturday hearing he planned to request a continuance but, if not granted, was prepared either way.

The prosecution expert, Tom Owen, was paid last year by the Orlando Sentinel to deliver his opinion regarding the 911 tapes and the voices for help. In his prior column Rudd Shared:

[Excerpt …] Dr. James Wayman, a San Jose State University expert in the field of speech science, told The Daily Caller that he questions the grounds on which Owen based his analysis.

Wayman also said he would be willing to testify against the admissibility of Owen’s findings on the grounds that they don’t meet the criteria required for evidence in federal courts. (more…)

Guest Post – Why ‘AckbarSays’ Supports George Zimmerman

“I demand justice for Trayvon Martin! Sanford PD should be ashamed of themselves.”

Trayvon parody[Via AckbarSays]  On March 19, 2012, those were the first words I ever vocalized in regard to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.  I had been driving home that day from a long day on the road, and while listening to my satellite radio, I heard for the first time the story of this young, 17 year old, unarmed kid who was walking home from the store, minding his own business, carrying nothing but a can of iced tea and some Skittles that he’d bought for his younger brother during a trip to 7-Eleven at halftime of the NBA All-Star game on February 26th.

I was shocked to hear that the white vigilante named George Zimmerman who had shot him had still not been arrested for his crime.  It made my blood boil, and I was determined that I was going to let my thousand-member social media friends list know how upset I was in hopes that it would spur some of them to demand action as well.

Why You Should Support George Zimmerman

We will not advance a position, nor attempt to sway your sentiment, around the proposition that we, collectively, have assembled thousand of hours in research.  Nor will we attempt to advocate for gun ownership, self protection, or principles around the latest fashionable requests for the general public to consider a ‘new normal’ outlook toward liberty contingent on the premise you should not leave your car;  The central tenet within such framing concedes your liberty is now based on your acceptance that you are driving through, or living in, a safari park while preferring to avoid predators.

Bond Hearing Held For Trayvon Martin Shooter George Zimmerman

No.   For this context we want to bring your attention to the necessary defense motion to protect witnesses.

Think about that for a second.   The defense of an accused needs to afford anonymity to the bearers of truth, because their own life or liberty may be lost as a consequence of their testimony.   The defense brings forth this request.

The defense.

Never before have we, as an assembled nation, witnessed the State Case representing the threat to liberty.   The State of Florida as the THREAT to the individual.

Again, think about that.

It’s Not His Fault – The Three He Murdered Made Him Do It – So Sayeth The Co-Dependents….

Teased over a gun range video showing him misfiring, he brings the gun to work as a bouncer, and shoots each of his 3 co-workers in the head.   Police report says of the teasing “it really bothered him”.   As you read the article -the coded anti gun messaging is subtle- but it’s there…. 

Andrew Lobban, alleged murdererFLORIDA – A few nightclub bouncers in Ocala, Fla., had been laughing for days over an embarrassing video of one of their co-workers. Then, tired of the teasing, that co-worker apparently snapped, killing three of them, authorities told the Ocala Star Banner. The bouncer in the video, Andrew Joseph “Punchy” Lobban, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the incident.

Lobban, 31, recently had gone to a shooting range with one of his fellow bouncers who, according to authorities, recorded Lobban misfiring a gun, then shared the video of Lobban with other bouncers at a local nightclub, the Ocala Entertainment Complex.
