Here is the kid who never stood a chance. People called him “Trey”, or “Slim”
Here is “Trey’s” Sperm Donor Father ….
Had the defense been prepared to make this argument -which understandably they were not – they could have removed Tracy from seeing/listening to witness testimony based on him giving intentionally and factually incorrect statements to Law Enforcement.
Skip video to 18:00 for the ruling and understanding of precedent used by Nelson to establish grounds for ruling:
Using the Beasley case as citation, the lie told by Tracy Martin about driving Trayvon 1/2 way to Sanford during his sworn statement to Law Enforcement on April 2nd 2012; which is now conclusively shown as a false statement with evidence submitted by the State of Trayvon Martin’s phone records of him taking the bus the whole way and texting his sitting at the bus-stop waiting for Brandi Greene to pick him up; Tracy Martin – as a potential trial witness – could be excluded (sequestered) from the courtroom.
Of course the point is now moot – but could still be argued if the Defense wanted it to be.
In the sake of time I’m going to be focused sharply and may not have full explanation so bear with me.
In my youth I had the great opportunity to work with, and be mentored by, a spokesperson for the Supreme Court of the United States. Back when that position held SERIOUS clout. [Incidentally, GOP Congressman, and later House Speaker Newt Gingrich, also knew this fellow quite well.]
The guy could just flat out debate and deconstruct better than the next closest 100 people combined. He was an intellectual powerhouse of significant magnitude, and ultimately would forget more about position advancement than anyone else would ever learn.
What you saw Don West do with the knock-knock joke (albeit stumbly bumbly) was a cognitive reset. When you ask an engaged listening audience (during debate), in this case a jury: “how many pancakes does it take to fill a canoe”? It’s like taking a massive cognitive eraser to a mental white board.
All prior thoughts are frozen, all ponderings of what you just heard stop; and, most importantly, your focus is unintentionally snapped into position, on the questioner, by the questioner.
It is a classic old school cognitive reset tool to get people to not only stop thinking about what was previous, but it actually wipes out memory. It’s just the way synapses fire – Awesome job by West regardless of how it made him look. (more…)
Today, June 24th, is DAY #11 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. The first day of the actual trial. The previous two weeks were jury selection and the conclusion of the Frye Hearing.
Over the weekend Judge Debra Nelson ruled that State voice identification experts would not be allowed to claim Trayvon Martin was the voice heard calling for help on the 911 call tapes based on unproven science. The jury reported for sequestered duty on Sunday.

You’ll never get the 22 minutes back again, but you’ve come this far….
It’s amazing really to pause and reflect upon the fact THIS, this conversation, this interview, is the ONLY evidence that created the probable cause affidavit and led to the arrest of George Zimmerman. The entire case is established around this. And yet, she’ll never reach the Witness Stand….
