*Update* Zimmerstuff – From Jury to M-DSPD

Starting with a couple of recent videos that some might have missed.  Here is O’Mara after the jury selection:

Here’s another video of Robert Zimmerman Jr. debating on Headline News.  It’s noteworthy that O’Mara is comfy beginning opening statements on Monday.  This, despite the previously and quietly denied motion for a continuance.   In his own words, here is what is left undone. (more…)

zimmerman-trial-028-062013

Today, June 21st, is DAY #10 (of 2nd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.  Yesterday they got a jury impanelled:  [Day #9 Summary Here]

Yesterday they selected 6 primary jurists, and 4 alternates.   All of the primary jurors are female.  Here’s the breakdown:

B-29: A “Black-Hispanic” (?) nurse on an Alzheimer’s ward who has several children and lived in Chicago at the time of shooting. She’s married. She said she doesn’t watch the news, preferring reality television: “Right when we got here, I got cable… I love my reality shows.” During jury selection, she said she was arrested once in Chicago.

Question For Legal Types – And Common Sense Types Too…

Hypothetical situation.

Well known actor, Mel Gibson, goes into a plastic surgeon’s office in Los Angeles.   He is escorted into the backroom by a team from the Dr’s. Office including “Jane”, a medical assistant.

After the procedure, he, and a member of his family, approach the counter to pay for the procedure.   The medical assistant, Jane is giving him instructions as he pays cash for the service.   He pays “Ryan” the receptionist.

Mel Gibson flies privately to Sacramento for rehab…..

Meanwhile, back at the office – the office manager, Samantha, notices the payment is missing.  She asks the staff “where’s the cash”?  No-one knows.

Frustrated – Samantha makes a call to the police to begin an investigation of “theft”.

Receptionist Ryan, and medical assistant, Jane, are both questioned and complete statements to police.   The case is filed, but not solved, and eventually closed.

However, on the same day this happens – a guy named Dave riding his bike along a road nearby to the private airstrip used by lots of celebrities in Los Angeles was hit and run off the road by a fast moving car.  As Dave sits in the ditch, with a broken leg, looking toward the car, he sees Mel Gibson and another person exit the vehicle, look around, exchange words, then quickly get back into the car and drive off.

Day #9 (Week 2) George Zimmerman Case – Open Discussion Thread

robert-gladys-zimmerman-sr-061913gz2

Today, June 20, is DAY #9 (of 2nd week) of the weighted Scheme Team + State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection. [Day #8 Summary Here]

With 40 potential jurists selected the filtering process continues toward finding the final 6 jurists and the 4 alternates.   Yesterday the prosecution spent the majority of the day presenting it’s position(s) and asking questions.   Today the defense has the opportunity to do the same, starting at 9:00am.

Also, well, “maybe”, at 2:00pm the “Frye Hearing” is set to resume with the State Prosecution recalling their expert, Tom Owen, to discuss whether the cries for help heard on the 911 call can be identified.   (This has been cancelled and postponed twice before – so “maybe” is prudent this time)

[Tom Owen stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night – He’s ready 😉 ]

Monday the Defense expert, Dr. James L Wayman, testified from 4pm to 8:30pm – Judge Nelson is expected to rule on whether this information is presented to the jury during trial, or whether it is too confusing on the jury to have experts dispute each other. (more…)

Civil-rights group claims dismissed George Zimmerman juror, Jerry Counelis, was defamed – We Provide the “Rest of the story”….

Jerry - jury 4Finally something positive happens for George Zimmerman.  The progressive nut-job, Jerry Counelis, who supported a Bernie Sanders/Dennis Kucinich Presidential ticket for 2012, has filed a claim of a civil rights violation – and protests that George Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara has “defamed” him.

Good News…..  Good News…..

How is this a positive for George Zimmerman you ask?

Well, if the media ACTUALLY does some research into who is representing Jerry Counelis, Civil Rights President – J Willie David, in this lawsuit, the public might actually grasp how ridiculous the entire construct of the players behind the Scheme are.

Just in case, we’ll show you here.

First the story.   Jerry Counelis lied in his jury interview, he was busted by his own facebook page which angrily made threats against George Zimmerman and his family supporters.  Jerry was dismissed from jury consideration.

The next day Jerry returns to the courthouse trying to gain access to the jury Holding room.  He was stopped by the Sheriff Dept officers in the courthouse, escorted out and given a trespass notice to not return until trial conclusion.

Zimmerman attorney, Mark O’Mara said he was glad the guy did not succeed in getting to the jury holding room, potentially contaminating the jury, and forcing the process to start all over again.  O’Mara called his false statements the behavior of a stealth jurist.

Today the Orlando Sentinel reports:   The Florida Civil Rights Association announced Tuesday that it is representing a dismissed juror who was barred from the Seminole County Courthouse until after the George Zimmerman trial concludes. (more…)

In a trial, all the witnesses swear to tell the truth.  Then a jury is seated for the sole purpose of attempting to determine who’s telling the truth…..
