Again, this is 4 and 1/2 minutes of your life you can never get back – But it helps to understand just how ridiculously biased the media was at the beginning of the entire fiasco. This audio/video was the example, the origin which followed our conversations with Ryan Julison, where Ytz4Me and myself decided to take on Matt Gutman specifically.

There have been many media journalists who have malpracticed with this case. But if you had to pick the top three I think Matt Gutman would be on everyone’s list. His reporting ran on ABC news morning, noon, and night – and was picked up by ABC online print broadcasting. After listening to this you can understand why Ryan Julison and the Scheme Team picked him for so many exclusives. Including taking him along to Mayor Tripletts office for the 911 call tape meeting; and the infamous “Dee Dee” interview of 3/19/12.

Today, June 25th, is DAY #12 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. An explosive first day of opening statements and witnesses took place yesterday.

[yesterday] saw the completion of opening statements and the launch of the State’s case, with four of the State’s witnesses being brought to the stand. In a nutshell, I thought the defense did a far superior job in cross-examination than the State did on direct, with it’s own witnesses, which does not bode well for the State’s prospects in this case.

Benjamin Crump on AC360 last night.  Anderson Cooper asks him a question about “Dee Dee” (whom everyone assumes is witness #8) and his involvement in finding her – Watch Crump strategically parse words to deflect the “media evidence” onto the phone records.

Dee Dee  (16 year old, hospitalized, minor child, with extremely concerned parents) becomes known as a phone number.   A phone number is not a person.

Why?

Because then the owner of the phone number, whoever she is selected to be, becomes Dee Dee. (more…)

In the sake of time I’m going to be focused sharply and may not have full explanation so bear with me.

In my youth I had the great opportunity to work with, and be mentored by, a spokesperson for the Supreme Court of the United States.   Back when that position held SERIOUS clout. [Incidentally, GOP Congressman, and later House Speaker Newt Gingrich, also knew this fellow quite well.]

The guy could just flat out debate and deconstruct better than the next closest 100 people combined. He was an intellectual powerhouse of significant magnitude, and ultimately would forget more about position advancement than anyone else would ever learn.

What you saw Don West do with the knock-knock joke (albeit stumbly bumbly) was a cognitive reset. When you ask an engaged listening audience (during debate), in this case a jury: “how many pancakes does it take to fill a canoe”? It’s like taking a massive cognitive eraser to a mental white board.

All prior thoughts are frozen, all ponderings of what you just heard stop; and, most importantly, your focus is unintentionally snapped into position, on the questioner, by the questioner.

It is a classic old school cognitive reset tool to get people to not only stop thinking about what was previous, but it actually wipes out memory. It’s just the way synapses fire – Awesome job by West regardless of how it made him look. (more…)
