UPDATE – Tugboat Hearing – Discussion Thread

update•  Judge Nelson Denied defense motion for bond adjustment – However, she did tell GZ he is permitted to talk to witnesses in the case (just not the Martin family – duh).

•The state will turn over the original recording of an interview of a girl identified as Trayvon’s girlfriend. The girlfriend, identified as Witness 8, is a key state witness: She says she was on the phone with Trayvon moments before the shooting, and her account largely corroborates the state’s theory.

Madre de George Zimmerman rompe el silencio en Univision – George Zimmerman’s mother breaks silence on Univision

Zimmerman Family
Zimmerman Family

The following is the [Translated] transcript of the interview made by journalist Jorge Ramos to Gladys and Robert Zimmerman in the program to the point of the Univision Network, on Sunday 9 December 2012.  (*Note Gladys speaks fluent Spanish as her first language)

The transcript is a little fragmented in translation but you can get the gist.  HatTip Ottawa925

The interview

Jorge Ramos: in his first interview for a half in Spanish, accompany us here, in the Studio, Robert Zimmerman, brother of George Zimmerman. Thanks for being with us.

Robert Zimmerman: Many, Jorge, thank you.

Jorge Ramos: and via satellite, his mother, Gladys Zimmerman, who for security reasons does not want to show his face. Mrs. Zimmerman, thanks for being with us.

Gladys Zimmerman: Anything, good morning George.

Jorge Ramos: Let me start. You certainly Peruvian and speaks the Spanish perfectly, and this is going to be much easier this interview with you. The first question is, where George is at the moment. (more…)

He’s frying bacon naked !!!

Skip to the part with Benjamin Crump at 08:00 question segment:

The guy is totally looped, he just threw 3 lbs of fresh meat into a red hot cast iron skillet. He’s frying bacon naked.

Firstly, We know ABC’s Matt Gutman recorded the entire interview with no issues. Therefore if the copy provided to FDLE contains starts and stops it’s because The Scheme Team “started and stopped it”, ie. THEY EDITED IT. (more…)

Part 2…O’Mara And West Speak With “In Session” TV…Did Tracy Martin Lie About the 911 Calls?…Did The State Engage In Witness Tampering? – (Video)

Major h/t to anwtex for doing the hard part….finding the video! 😀

This segment of the interview centers around the inconsistencies in both Sybrina and Tracy’s testimony regarding their son’s voice.  The fact that the State withheld information regarding who was in attendance during an earlier meeting where Serino questioned Martin is more than troubling.  Officer Bill Irwin, the same person who did the voice stress analysis on George, was sitting in on the earlier questioning of Martin….a corroborating fact that, until now, was unknown to the defense.  Why did Sanford Police Capt. O’Connor and the State keep this information from the defense until they were deposed?   O’Mara states it’s the same issue they keep having with all the witnesses…“They change – particularly after conversations with the State.”

O’Mara Speaks With “In Session” TV…Does Our Money Come From Racists?…Can Our Client Get A Fair Trial? – (Videos)

In one breath,  “In Session” TV’s Jean Casarez defines the people’s viewpoint of George Zimmerman as,  “…the most hated man in America.”  Then she goes on to say, in an almost incredulous voice, “There are supporters of George Zimmerman.”  In the video below, she probes into the sources behind Zimmerman’s defense fund.

Political Back Channel Communication – “when the case don’t fit, you must acquit” – Discussions of How To Acquit Surface….

And Mark O’Mara says “no deals”!

George Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, says his client will not accept a plea deal to avoid going to trial on a murder charge in the death of Trayvon Martin.

On Thursday, O’Mara told In Session correspondent Jean Casarez that he would not allow his client to accept a plea deal. “I wouldn’t plea someone who is innocent. So I think the answer is pretty easily no,” said O’Mara.    (continue reading)

Behind the scenes of the fraudulent legal case against George Zimmerman, at the highest reaches of State and FEDERAL law enforcement, the powers that exist are strategically planning how best to walk away from (drop) the case.   There is no “there” there; and subsequently how to deploy resources for crisis management.

As Jack Cashill aptly summarized on the pending acquittal:

A reckless and corrupt media made Trayvon a cause célèbre, but the obfuscation  will end in court.  There, the truth will out.  When it does, the major media  will lose a good chunk of whatever credibility they have left, and our nation  may lose a good chunk of its urban real estate.

Numerous hours of discussion, and vast opinions are being sought.    Eric Holder quietly dispatched additional Federal “Peacekeepers” (DOJCRS) earlier this week to Sanford Florida, and also to Miami Florida, for resource coordination and information gathering.    In addition the State Attorney General and Federal DOJ have been in communication for an exit strategy.

First Served ! George Zimmerman Sues NBC – Defamation, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, demand for preservation of evidence, demand for jury trial

NBC lawsuitGeorge Zimmerman has filed a civil lawsuit against NBC, Ron Allen and Jeff Burnside.

[…]  What happened that night was a tragedy: a tragedy that NBC exploited, creating an opportunity for profit. I am holding NBC accountable for its actions. If NBC had not spread lies and falsifications about me, this lawsuit would not exist. This lawsuit is a product of NBC’s intentional distortion of facts. I do not know, because of my situation, how I will be able to provide for my wife and myself in the future, and so I expect NBC to be held responsible. The unjustified public persecution of me because of NBC’s actions is wrong. It shouldn’t have happened to me, and it shouldn’t happen to anyone.

In the last several months, the prosecutors have released evidence regarding this case, and the evidence speaks for itself regarding my innocence. As this lawsuit moves forward, I hope the existence of this exonerating evidence will be broadcast with at least a fraction of the publicity afforded to the lies and misrepresentations. I deserve that and those who have been misinformed deserve that. However, that will be up to the ethical journalists who will spread the truth without regard or concern for political or social pressure.

“Tugboat” – That’s What They Called Him…..

OMara-Zimmerman-first court appearanceAs each day passes, more discovery in the State’s case against George Zimmerman comes forth into the sunlight.     Defense attorney’s Mark O’Mara and Don West have been pulling teeth out of the Prosecution Team to get it, and indeed they are having to force it from them, but slowly and surely it is coming out.

Along with it comes the truth.

We have outlined some of the previous false narratives now diminished if not totally deconstructed by the disinfecting sunlight of truth.   Some of which are:

So today we look at another false aspect surrounding George Zimmerman.  Specifically his prior encounter with law enforcement in 2005 which led to this often displayed mug shot. (more…)

Marcia Clark and O’Mara Discuss Release Of Bloody Zimmerman Photo….

Both attorneys appeared on AC360 tonight to discuss the latest photo of George Zimmerman…a high-resolution image showing Zimmerman with a bloody face and swollen nose.  The defense did not receive this photo until late last October, having previously been given only a rather grainy black and white photocopy of the original.
