As the jury deliberates, there’s a few things which can now be said.
I doubt it would ever be quite possible to explain, fully, the delicate balancing we have held regarding our research in all of the aspects of the Zimmerman case and the narratives intertwined within it.
However, after verdict we will be able to go to places we have reserved out of respect and prudence. The Defense team obviously has taken the position of staying down range from the media until the verdict is announced. We will not do, or say, anything to undercut that position.

But why is no-one inquiring about the absence of “TC”, as described by Rachel Jeantel? TC, as in TC O’Steen, the state investigator who drove to Jeantel’s home with Sybrina Fulton and Bernie De La Rionda. Or Dale Gilbreath, the state investigator who presented the evidence within the Probable Cause Affidavit? Or a host of other investigators, agents and assembled case identities from the State case, that are mysteriously absent in the trail list of witnesses. Not the least of which is the ‘whistleblower’ who, one would think, would have been a primary defense witness. After all, it was the State who introduced the phone records of Trayvon Martin – yet no-one from the defense ever challenged the “authentication” or “integrity” of the data used. Think about it.

Gee ya think? Every single behavior and personality trait of Debra Nelson screams Progressive Democrat –  Put this in the ‘water is wet’ column…..

(Via TSG) Years before they would endure a televised pummeling in the Florida courtroom of Judge Debra Nelson, the two lawyers representing accused murderer George Zimmerman actually donated money to the prickly jurist’s first election campaign, records show.
In 1999, Republican Governor Jeb Bush appointed Nelson, a lifelong Democrat, to fill a vacancy in the 18th Judicial Circuit (covering Seminole and Brevard counties). When Nelson ran the following year for a full six-year term, she donated 85 percent of her campaign’s $151,000 war chest. (read more)

Washington Times – The legal watchdog Judicial Watch released an audio recording Thursday of a Department of Justice staffer urging Sanford, Fla., city officials and the minority advocacy group Dream Defenders to seek justice for Trayvon Martin, because “if a community perceives that there’s something wrong in the black community, there’s something wrong.”
“CRS is an arm of the department that we call the Peacemakers,” Thomas Battles, regional director of the DOJ’s Community Relations Service, said at a meeting at the Shiloh Church on April 19, 2012. “We work with communities where there is real or perceived racial tensions.” (more…)

MIAMI (CBS4) – Wednesday, around high noon, dozens of Miami Police officers lined up for riot training.
Armed with batons and horses, officers ran through various formations preparing for the worst.

“It’s a mandatory training. All these officers are given this equipment and it’s in the event we have civil unrest at any given moment our officers are ready on a minute’s notice,” Miami Police spokesman Freddie Cruz said. (more…)

However, McCarthy, like all legal minded intellectuals – never ask the “why” question.

Instead, he/they reconcile inside the box (donate to the building of a particle accelerator) – because the box defines the only concepts cognition can import (the comfort zone).
