Theater of the Absurd

You just can’t make this stuff up.

The attorney, the civil attorney Benjamin Crump, the Martin family hired to pursue financial justice against various interests in the Trayvon Martin shooting is now fighting to stop his deposition about the circumstances surrounding the very witness, “DeeDee” (W8) that he identified to create the arrest affidavit that frames the entire cause for financial justice, vis-a-vi arrest/trial, which lead to the civil claims he desires, and are contained in the probable cause affidavit.

Talk about ridiculous circular logic.

Subsequently, the attorney representing and attempting to hide Benjamin Crump, now argues the defense is not asserting any affirmations of contradictions between the initial phone interview with Crump and DeeDee (ABC March 19th Broadcast), and the statement she gave to the State of Florida in her affidavit April 2nd [page 4 footnote #7].

Interesting linked article to an interview with Mark O’Mara on the open thread.    At the risk of pointing out the obvious, and simultaneously upsetting the followers who believe in Mark O’Mara, may I just, well, point out the obvious.   Mark O’Mara is seeking the fame and professional notoriety that comes with a massive public trial.  

Mark O’Mara did not trip into this case, he was delivered into the case by his friend and colleague Mark Nejame.   [Collective goal to be amid Orlando’s “Power 100” – Alongside fellow power player John Morgan (see Charlie Crist, Greg Francis, Ryan Julison et al)].

From the article:    To an outside observer, O’Mara and other attorneys say, a combination hearing-trial would likely look a lot like a normal trial: A jury would be selected, and the state and defense would present their cases.  But once that’s done, the jury would be placed in limbo while the defense tries to convince the judge to end the case herself.

ORLANDO, FL – Defense attorneys have deposed Chris Serino, lead investigator in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder case, according to court paperwork released today.

It’s not clear what he said, but Serino is likely to be an important witness at Zimmerman’s trial.

The former investigator publicly said the Sanford Police Department never had enough evidence to charge Zimmerman with a crime while quietly filing paperwork with the State Attorney’s Office, saying he believed there was enough to charge him with manslaughter. (more…)

Not everyone will understand the coded message in the headline.  That’s ok.

Here is the media report from yesterday’s fiasco…. (HatTip Manybuddies)

Here are some random thoughts to chew on…. (more…)

The Scheme Team

On Sunday March 18th 2012 The Scheme Team reports Tracy Martin *found* a person who talked to Trayvon Martin just prior to his death.  (on line phone records)

On Monday March 19th 2012 The Scheme Team together with ABC’s Matt Gutman set up, and recorded, an audio call with the person Tracy Martin found. A girl, Witness #8, they called her “Dee Dee”.

Each week when the participants in the prosecution of the State of Florida VS. George Zimmerman speak we are astounded that no-one in the legacy media finds enough courage to factually investigate this case.

“her [Witness #8] testimony, her sworn testimony, connects the dots;  Completely connects the dots of this whole thing;  Her testimony completly destroys George Zimmerman”  – Benjamin Crump March 20th Press Conference

Specifically, the fraud that is the storyline around Witness #8 “Dee Dee” the supposed girlfriend of Trayvon Martin.

  Initially she was sold to the media on March 20th as a 16-year-old girl, a minor, a sweetheart, who was devastated at the tragic loss of her 17-year-old “puppy love”.   A girl who was on the phone with Trayvon when he encountered George Zimmerman.  Benjamin Crump played an audio recording of her statement proving his claims.   The media ran with that story, and, for the most part, actually still does.

The prosecution then used her *tender age* as a shield of anonymity to protect her from the ruthless hounds of media interest.    (Watch Video)

The State of Florida argued before Judge Lester that her minor status meant she needed additional protections.  This, despite the fact she never once contacted law enforcement, never once called Trayvon’s Mom or Dad, and was essentially non-existent until Trayvon family attorney Benjamin Crump discovered her and presented her story to the world.    Indeed, even Trayvon’s Dad, Tracy Martin, and his Mom, Sybrina Fulton, supposedly had never heard of this “girlfriend”.

Given the latest hearing outcomes, it is perhaps prudent to go back and look at the October hearing once again, to visit what was being said about DeeDee, and the recording of her, by Trayvon Family Attorney Benjamin Crump; In court, to Nelson, in October.

It is also worth noting that Judge Nelson formerly “ordered and approved” the deposition of Benjamin Crump as it specifically relates to the “interview and recording” of the Witness #8, DeeDee. Given the court’s prior approval how can Benjamin Crump now seek to avoid ?

Review the segment of this video from 1:04:10 To 1:13:15 (October Hearing)

Might be also worth noting, in that video segment Judge Nelson erroneously believed the recording of the interview was made “on a telephone” as in the telephone captured and retains the conversation. This was *inferred* by the prosecution to Judge Nelson and when told not to change, alter, or delete the recording “on the phone” Benjamin Crump did nothing to correct the belief, and to the contrary affirmed to the court her mistaken belief.

Additionally, from the motions filed today in Ben Crump’s quest to avoid deposition, which the Judge had already ruled were appropriate, it appears his attorney is again misrepresenting obvious “FACTS” to the court. Example: (more…)

We’ll provide a few considerations at a later time.   For followers of the case here is the full hearing video.

Attorney Crump is attempting to avoid being deposed. Subsequently he prefers, upon the advice of his counsel, to just provide a written statement.

Additionally, we will begin research of Crump’s attorney to see where he intersects with the players, and what his historical attachements are etc.

Today the Defense and Prosecution will be back in court to discuss the various motions filed by both the Defense and the Prosecution:

Today the George Defense Team released a reciprocal discovery filing, much speculation is surrounding the evidence the Defense Team is planning to use in the Immunity Hearing.  However, much speculation about the discovery release can be reconciled with understanding the 7-11 video aspects the prosecution ignored.

The prosecution had no vested interest in pursuing the truth about the engaged activity from Trayvon Martin beyond identifying his whereabouts and the timeline back to the Retreat at Twin Lakes.   However, Don West had a vested interest in discovering the exact reasoning for the trip and the surrounding participants in the events.

I am reposting the Trayvon 7-11 video from DiwataMan for a several reasons. First, it is simply an exceptional catch that deserves to be reposted. From high altitude, or with only a casual glance, it might seem a little irrelevant, alas it is not. It is very significant. (more…)
