There will be a SYG (“Stand Your Ground”) Hearing

The website managed by the Mark O’Mara Law Firm confirms the defense strategy will include preparing for a “Stand Your Ground” (SYG) hearing.

THERE WILL BE A “STAND YOUR GROUND” HEARING IN THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN CASE

ON 09 AUGUST 2012. Since the beginning, there has been a rush to judgement in the case against George Zimmerman. Since the first day of his involvement, Mr. O’Mara has emphasized that people should be patient and wait for the evidence to be released before forming opinions about the case.

Now that the State has released the majority of their discovery, the defense asserts that there is clear support for a strong claim of self-defense. Consistent with this claim of self-defense, there will be a “Stand Your Ground” hearing.

In the case against George Zimmerman, a “Stand Your Ground” hearing will essentially be a mini-trial. Most of the arguments, witnesses, experts, and evidence that the defense would muster in a criminal trial will be presented in the “Stand Your Ground” hearing.

A finding in Zimmerman’s favor would end the criminal case against him, as  well as immunizing him from civil action.  The law allows people to use deadly force, rather than retreat, if they  believe their lives are in danger.

The TrayMom Financial Motives Begin To Visibly Surface – People NOW Surprised to identify TRUE motivations… So we’ll expose again…

Within the last 48 hours the public is beginning to see the tip of the iceberg regarding the True motivations of Sybrina Fulton, aka TrayMom™. Perhaps a revisit to the known financial agenda of the circle surrounding Trayvon Martin will help those new to discovery.

A recent article via Associate Press submitting a public records request shows the Scheme Team was even pursuing taxpayer money via a Crime Victims relief fund. One of the aspects of this discovery unnerving a few people is the approval from State Attorney Pam Bondi’s office prior to George Zimmerman even being arrested.

(via ABC) The documents, obtained through a public records request, show Sybrina Fulton applied for the compensation benefits after her son was fatally shot last February by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. It was not immediately clear how Martin’s family would use the money.

The state Attorney General’s Office, which administers the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund, refused to disclose the sum sought by Fulton and her former husband, Tracy Martin. […]

In a March 29 letter, a claims analyst with the Attorney General’s Office notified Fulton that she had been deemed eligible for the compensation benefits. However, no check had been issued to Martin’s parents as of early August.

Fulton hasn’t had time to fill out the paperwork needed to process the claim, said Ben Crump, an attorney for Martin’s parents. She didn’t want to disclose how much she was applying for and what expenses the money would cover, Crump said. (read more)

Obviously this raises a few questions. Questions we already know the answers to:

How could Sybrina Fulton be approved for a crime victims relief fund (March 29th) prior to anyone identifying whether a crime was committed? George Zimmerman was not arrested until April 11th.

The answer is simply political influence via Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. (more…)

The Lawyer Who Called Stand Your Ground “an absurd law” Now Will Pander To Gun Rights Advocates…..

The transparency of this intent is brutally obvious.  Pro-Marabots will find some altruistic meaning… the truthseekers will see this as self-serving, opportunistic and financially beneficial….

Warning!!  When you read this slanted piece, consider the source “Black Star News”:  A hard left slant on race-based news information along the lines of “The Grio”…. and very anti-Second Amendment.  It is filled with coded messaging calling out to the Benjamin Crumps, Natalie Jacksons, and Daryl Parks’s of the world….

George Zimmerman’s Lawyer To Speak At Gun Rights Conference –  If you were on George Zimmerman’s  defense team, wouldn’t you want to stay away from people who celebrate gun possession at least until after your client’s trial given the fact that Zimmerman is regarded by many people as trigger-happy, reckless, and remorseless?

On the other hand, maybe you do want to associate with gun fanatics because Zimmerman is trigger-happy, reckless, and remorseless? Zimmerman’s lawyer Mark O’Mara is slated to speak at a Gun Rights conference in Orlando, FL., according to an invitation from the organizers. The conference comes seven months after the murder of Trayvon Martin and two months after the Aurora, CO., massacre. (more…)
