Bernie De La Rionda is using the blanket O’Mara discovery and witness list approach against O’Mara’s client George Zimmerman. Previously O’Mara filed a response during “witness” discovery, witness listing, which included the catch line:

“Any witness identified through State’s discovery not otherwise disclosed herein”.

What O’Mara is intending to say appeared to be the defense *may* add additional witnesses which may come to light as a result of the continual disclosure of the State’s discovery.  However, because BDLR had previously listed Shellie Zimmerman as a possible State’s Witness, the catch line tagged all current State witnesses as also defense witnesses.  Ergo, Shellie is by default now listed as a Defense witness.

Why is this important?

Because Bernie De La Rionda has a right to depose and question all of the Defense Witnesses, so if Shellie is a defense witness, then she must be forced to sit for his questioning.  It appears BDLR intends to use Shellie to injure the credibility of her husband George. (more…)

The manipulative endeavors of CNN and CNNi are legendary – but this one is actually funny.

Producers at CNN apparently thought viewers  wouldn’t notice that anchors Nancy Grace of HLN/Headline News and Ashleigh  Banfield of Newsroom were standing no more than 30 feet way from one another as  they manipulated the footage and placed Grace on Banfield’s right instead of her  left.

The blatant visual gimmick aired  Tuesday  morning as the two correspondents reported on the latest details behind the  horrific Cleveland kidnapping story and pretended they were  conducting a remote  interview, as the Atlantic  Wire pointed out soon  after. (more…)

 DATE: MAY 9, 2013

PLACE: NATIONAL PRESS CLUB (HOLEMAN LOUNGE)

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, aka: The Islamic jihadist scumbag, aka: the dead Boston Bomber will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery if one US Air Force Veteran has her way.

Yes, you heard that right. The murdering, older brother who killed three and maimed hundreds more innocent people at the Boston Marathon, including an eight-year-old blown to bits has been offered a National Cemetery burial plot by a USAF veteran named Julie Frein. What?

If you have been following with interest the Miami-Dade School Police Department -internal affairs investigation- you probably have a lot of questions about the diversion program(s) they used.

The interim police chief Gerald Kitchell penned a white paper, in March of this year, for the publication “Police Chief Magazine”.

It is interesting to note the definitions and the processes Kitchell is explaining.

It should be noted that the permanent police Chief is expected to be picked soon.

Something is totally FUBAR with this reporting. I can’t figure out where the disconnect is yet. See the bottom after the article:

First things first.   This does not need to be rushed – this should not be a “pass it to see what’s in it” bill.   This needs to be clearly and methodically, even painstakingly, a deliberative process.

As I see Team Obama requesting the “rushing it to a vote” I become even more suspicious of it….

Report #1 – Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) told Boston’s conservative radio host Howie Carr on Wednesday that the political momentum is starting to turn against the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill.  (Link)

Report #2 – President Obama said there is one thing he absolutely won’t compromise on in immigration reform: a pathway to citizenship [ie. “Amnesty”]   But as for what he would be willing to give up, he won’t say.  (link)

Report #3 – Just in case anyone is concerned that senators aren’t reading the 844-page immigration reform bill from the Group of Eight closely before returning from recess next week, note that Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) is tweeting as he goes, calling out concerning elements of the legislation (link):
