Hat Tip Froggie who provides the Transcript of the conversation where O’Mara of Nazareth requests Alms from Disciples on Piers Morgan Show…..
“MORGAN: Coming up, the man who killed Trayvon Martin is out of jail on a million dollars bond. Next, George Zimmerman’s attorney tells me exclusively what Zimmerman has said since he got out.

MORGAN: George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, is out of jail on one million dollars bond. But his attorney made a statement that’s been pretty controversial. Joining me now in his first exclusive interview since he got his client released is that attorney, Mark O’Mara. Mark, welcome back.
MARK O’MARA, ATTORNEY FOR GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: Good evening. How you doing, Piers?
MORGAN: Your client is out. He got his bond. People have been a little bit surprised. I’m going to take this straight to you for your reaction tot his, about the strategy that you’ve adopted, which is to go public and say, if you agree that my clients’ actions were with justified, then donate money to his defense funds.
Tell me about the thinking behind the strategy, and about the way that it’s now blown up as a bit of a controversial thing for you to have done.
O’MARA: Well, it is a bit unique, again. And I’m a bit conflicted by it, to be honest. We try to deal with the reality that George does not have any funds of his own. He can only get those funds from his supporters. And a lot of those supporters, the comments they’ve given us have shown a variety — a spectrum of support, a lot of which are those that believe that George did, in fact, act appropriately. (more…)

Some, well, actually eight Treepers want the research on Mark O’Mara to stop.  They include: Mwsomerset, bill, M4, Labrat, Stephaufla, ejarra, Sandy, raiikun, and CleaningMyGun specifically.  Four more apparently think it is a waste of  time, they include:  CiGuy, Chirality, Risefrombelow and Freedom Patriot.
So in essence that’s twelve people who think O’Mara is a solid attorney for George Zimmerman.   There are probably a few more unknown.  Fair enough.
Question:  Imagine we are at war.  We are on an aircraft carrier and we have been told we are headed to battle.   What good does it do for us to muster in the Combat Ops planning room preparing our plans for an island assault strategy when the captain of the ship is steaming forward in a different direction?
All the conversational planning in the world ain’t gonna help us when we arrive at a divergent destination than we anticipated.  That’s why it’s kinda important to know exactly who is steering the ship, where it is headed, and what to expect.  No?
To borrow a thought from Gretchen:   Some here are willingly blinded by the luminescence of a “very experienced and competent criminal trial lawyer” a constant refrain among those who defend Mark O’Mara.
Mark O’Mara’s manifold errors have been exposed and blogged about here, in detail I might add, yet do not seem to make an impression. One must not look at the growing mountain of FACTS, but must seek to fixate on one thing or another that bolsters a particular viewpoint, apparently.  (more)

“a very experienced and competent criminal trial lawyer”? (more…)

If you have not read the books (trilogy), you should.   If you haven’t watched the movie, well, that’s good too.   Both Treeper Sibilj and Treeper DiwataMan remind me of these two characters; they are quite good dot connectors and in a most unusual way they are keenly on the same trail from two different angles… quite similar.   Life imitates art.
DiwataMan has a construct of what he calls a conspiracy theory – Sibilj has a prediction for where this is headed.   The theory is really close to dead center mass – The prediction is, well, unless things change quickly, at this point, a virtual certainty.

[comment] Why are people claiming that other people are claiming O’Mara is going to throw or lose the case purposefully?  Has Sundance or anyone claimed that?  My position is that, albeit conspiratorial, this case will go to trial no matter what and the powers that be are going to make sure that happens. The main reason is that no one then but a jury will be responsible for impending riots, everyone has covered their butts.
Has O’Mara had anything regarding this case that would allow him to file to get the case thrown out? Will he have a SYG hearing? I bet he will but I bet it will also fail, it has to fail or else that judge who would throw the case out then would be the one to have to answer to all of his little buddies as to why he just allowed the State of Florida to be put into a position of potentially losing billions of dollars, lol, nobody want to be that guy, this thing is going to a jury and the decision to make sure that happens probably occurred when Bondi and Scott got together.  (continue reading)

DiwataMan is mostly right, and essentially on the right track here.   Indeed if I have given anyone the opinion that a loss in this case is Zimmerman in jail, then allow me to clear up the miscommunication on my part.   A loss is this case going to TRIAL. (more…)

Major big time HatTip to Treeper Froggielegs for digging up the golden nugget we needed to finally prove what we have suspected for a while.   And with the helpful brilliance of Ad rem Puddy capturing the moments, we are finally able to highlight the setup of George Zimmerman and expose the dark underbelly of the Sanford Machinations.

Black Entertainment Television (BET) aired a Trayvon Martin Exclusive hosted by Emmitt Miller on April 20th.     April 20th is the same date of the First Bond Hearing for George Zimmerman and nine days after Mark O’Mara took over as lead defense attorney (4/11).
There are two videos.   Part II is the segment where the ulterior motives of Mark O’Mara surface and things click into place.
Key things to note in video #1:
         
Pam Bondi phone call to Tracy and Sybrina – Listen to what she says – Remember Pam Bondi and Benjamin Crump are personal friends from the Martin Lee Anderson case.   Bondi was the State Prosecutor and Crump was the Anderson family civil lawyer suing the state of Florida and Bay County.  It was Bondi who talked Rick Scott into selecting Angela Corey as the prosecutor of George Zimmerman.  Ugh, ugh, ugh….. It’s a trap.
Also note how Benjamin Crump lawyerly parses his words regarding Trayvon’s school records.  We know Trayvon was excessively tardy, absent 53 days in the current school year, and serving his Third 10-day suspension at the time he was staying in Sanford.

Prior post from The Volokh Conspiracy regarding comments, moderation, and the need for “BANNING / MODERATION” – presentation from January:
Fostering Strong Comment Threads, and the Effort Rule of Comment Moderation – I see Internet comment threads as a new and relatively important kind of online discussion, and I’m very interested in the conditions in which comment threads tend to be useful or just noise. In my view, having a really good comment thread is a terrific asset to a blog: It allows the post to be the beginning of a conversation, with the rest of the conversation carried on it the thread. The interesting and new question is, what are the conditions of helpful comment threads? What kind of comment policies and software leads to the best, most interesting comment threads, and which don’t? (more…)

Omar and Sibilj have provided some good food for thought regarding Mark O’Mara.   But before presenting their articulate comments for expansion I need to clarify a few things.
Some of you might see me use the term “prog” in many of my posts and comments.  Let me identify what I mean and position the backdrop for future understanding.  Truth has no agenda – People Do.
There is a keen, albeit difficult to grasp at times, distinction between advocacy and ideology.
I am open, wide open, to being an advocate for Mark O’Mara, but honesty, intellectual honesty, demands a substantive reason.  I have outlined twenty specific instances when my capacity to grant benefit of doubt, toward altruistic intention, has been stretched.
Simultaneously, by conviction, I must also be open to being more favorable to Trayvon Martin’s family position if presented with substantive, factual, and valid reasoning. (more…)

Question submitted via email to the TreeHouse Tip Line

Question: I’ve been on the side of Zimmerman is Not Guilty etc ever since the evidence started showing up, next to none of it even *remotely* suggesting a crime, and all the circumstantial stuff that people claim make him guilty I know is so easy to explain in light of the facts…except for one.
The lack of GZ’s blood on Trayvon’s hands. I know breaking a nose wouldn’t put any blood there, bashing in his head, etc. I know it’s possible to give one hell of a beating and end up with no bruising or blood on your hands.
But putting your hands over someone’s nose and mouth after the nose is broken and bleeding…has it been answered somewhere how that blood didn’t get on Trayvon’s hands? (A mixed DNA profile on one sleeve *could* explain it but that seems thin). (more…)

Pulled from a comment provided by GZTheCourageous.  I am working my way through the myriad of considerations and doubt I will offer more than just surface response.   Lots to flesh out on this, and before anyone comments please think though the variety of issues, highly consequential issues, the considerations outlined in this email provide.  Our hand was forced because this communication was dropped into a discussion thread, and in a general sense, as presented, it carries no risk. 
It is innocuous enough to allow to stand, and obviously O’Mara thought it “safe” to exist.  But further expansion most certainly would present risk.   I just cannot find the words right now to explain so that everyone would understand.   The last thing O’Mara or Zimmerman need right now is the perception of advice from a “blog” (Please read between the lines on my statement, Thanks)  /Sundance

(Written by GZTheCourageous) Wanted to post this email I received from Mr. O’Mara. Sundance, would you please contact him regarding a chat where we could directly ask him questions, as he suggests? Thanks.

I sincerely appreciate the criticism… there are many more nuances to consider  regarding the presentation, and I will respond in more detail… I truly appreciate all the great work done by everyone over there so far, and really take ur comments to heart… rest assured the presentation was metered for very specific purposes, as this is a long-game approach   the bull dog mentality would be premature…. goal for today is to get him out, that’s all…… I will respond better shortly….

Pls pass on, and I would like to c if we could set up a chat session so I could respond directly to q’s.. just need to maintain a level of security over the communications…
