Final Arguments in Zimmerman Trial
— Ace

John Fund writes about the role the Justice Department's community-organizing branch, the CRS, played in whipping on the witch hunt.

Justice’s Community Relations Service (CRS) even helped organize a meeting between Sanford, Fla., public officials and the local NAACP. The result was the resignation of police chief Bill Lee over his handling of the Martin case. While his resignation was rescinded after a few weeks by local officials, Chief Lee faced further pressure to leave his job and ultimately quit for good two months later. Valerie Houston, one of the pastors leading the protests against Zimmerman and Lee, praised the Community Relations Service as being “there for us.”

The website for the CRS claims it “does not take sides among disputing parties” and only provides “impartial conciliation and mediation services.” But the evidence of its activities in Sanford shows that it placed a large thumb on the scales of justice in the Zimmerman case. What can providing support for a “March for Trayvon Martin” rally headlined by the rabble-rousing Reverend Al Sharpton have to do with “conciliation and mediation”?

29 “conciliation and mediation” to the white-hating Democrats means white people admitting they are racist scum who deserve to be spat upon for the sins of slavery and killing the Indians forever and ever, amen. Bow down, admit your guilt, and accept your punishment for the sins of your forefathers. Or at least for the sins of people who had roughly similar skin tones. Blood libel for the win!

So based on the judge, let's just assume they have an hour and 23 minutes for rebuttal.

38 There's no way to get a conviction. At least one of the six jurors will be stubborn and refuse to convict given the obvious "reasonable doubt." And at least one will insist that they not give Zimmerman a full pass, because of the riot fears. So he will get a not guilty on all counts, but a hung jury on whatever is the lowest charge in consideration (with this judge, that's a moving target).

The willful ignorance by the St. Skittles supporters continues unabated. My Facebook and Twitter feeds are full of it. I now have a better understanding of how Zero managed to be elected twice.

And this is why I'm still worried that they send Zimmerman up the river. It's not an exaggeration to say that we straight white (hispanic) males have a large stake in the outcome.

I livestreamed almost all of O'Mara's close at work.  It is truly bizzaro-world if Zim gets convicted on any count. 

 

More broadly, O'Mara talked calmly to the court for a couple of hours.  Bernie what's his name shrieked at them and harangued them yesterday.  It reminded me why I liked the Dark Lord Cheney way back when...he just talked.  The AlGores, the Kerrys, the Edwards of the world are always yelling at us about how they're going to FIGHT for something or other.  I've never been in a business meeting where anyone was persuaded about anything by yelling.  I trust people who can just talk and make sense.

Posted by: Frumious Bandersnatch at July 12, 2013 08:18 AM (A0sHn)

47 At one point during the defense's closing, baldy prosecutor looked as if he would burst into tears.  At another point, the defense attorney was making a talking about the state's erroneous contention that Zimmerman is a liar and why it was erroneous, and baldy prosecutor was nodding his head in agreement.  Surreal.

And the defense was exceptionally kind in its remarks about the ghetto black whale.  Unlike me.

65 off topic, but time for a stupid story, from yahoo news :

"There's good news today for parents who give their kids apple juice: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced new draft guidelines that call for no more than 10 parts per billion of inorganic arsenic in apple juice - roughly the same level allowed in tap water."

much later:


"But while apple juice may be safe in terms of arsenic, this should not be a green light to drink endless quantities. There is increasing concern about the amount of sugar children and others consume from fruit juices and links between fructose, the sugar found in fruit juices, and obesity. Ounce for ounce, there is just as much sugar in apple juice as there is in soda. The American Academy of Pediatrics in a statement reminded parents that "it is not necessary to offer children any juice to have a well-balanced, healthy diet." "

(Once they ban soda, they can ban fruit juice... and then they can finally ban water, which contains H20, which can cause drowning.)

"But while apple juice may be safe in terms of arsenic, this should not
be a green light to drink endless quantities. There is increasing
concern about the amount of sugar children and others consume from fruit
juices and links between fructose, the sugar found in fruit juices, and
obesity. Ounce for ounce, there is just as much sugar in apple juice as
there is in soda. The American Academy of Pediatrics in a statement
reminded parents that "it is not necessary to offer children any juice
to have a well-balanced, healthy diet." "

112 The verdict can't come down today. My son is roaming around Atlanta on a field trip. I certainly understand your concern but unless your son is going to be in bad parts of the city and a night if riots take place, they will not happen until the evening of when the vedict is announced. It will take a while for the race mongers like Al Sharpton to get things organized.

194 My guess, Zimmerman found 'Not Guilty', quickly moves to Peru. Justice see?

Posted by: Sanford DA at July 12, 2013 12:22 PM (oDCMR)


That would probably be his best recourse. Even if he is acquitted, as he should indeed be, he will be a marked man in the USA, with a host of gang-bangers seeking to claim his scalp.


He should probably skip the country even if released on bail pending an appeal. He probably could find a Latin American nation which would like to cock a snook at Obama by declaring Zimmerman to be the victim of a political prosecution, and grant him asylum.

The near unanimity of support for the thug Trayvon among the black community shows how morally bankrupt they have become. Mainstream black culture celebrates scum like Trayvon.

Jury will start deliberating immediately so they can go home asap. If they get a verdict, they won't announce it until tomorrow. I'm sick of the little stories the state depends way too much on.

#260 Yes, the defense's close was very good.   I listened to most of it on the radio and thought it was excellent.   He reminded the jury that the presumptive verdict in any criminal trial is Not Guilty, that is the starting point, and the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty before you can render that verdict.  Then he proceeded through all the witnesses to show how the state failed to prove its case and that its case was full of holes, conjecture, and speculation which are not good enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.   he respected the jury and all the witnesses and never said "you MUST believe" this person or that.  He gave the jury permission to believe whoever they wanted, but constructed a plausible case for self-defense that stood up no matter which witnesses you believe.  Very smart IMO.  If the defense case is plausible at all, and there were any witnesses that supported it and no state witnesses that unequivocally refuted it, he said you must find the defendant Not Guilty.

 

One particular witness that I missed in trial may be a key one as described in the defense close.  The expert who testified (I think for the state) on self-defense and then under cross said that GZ had no realistic alternative to pulling his gun and shooting when he did it.

You mean those white guys that dragged a black guy behind their pickup truck?  Where two of them wound up executed and the third got life on the defense that he was too drunk to participate (ie had he been sober, he'd have gotten a needle, too).

Which happened without "hate crime" bullshit laws?

Yeah, easy to see how the black community feels we still owe them one over that.

 

Would that be James Byrd?  The same one whose sleazebag relative said that when Bush won the election over Gore she felt like he'd been killed all over again?

That's a fair reason for black senior citizens to be racist. It is not a legitimate reason for anyone younger than that. I never lynched anyone, therefore I owe them nothing. And as most Americans alive today were born after all that, our country doesn't owe them anything, either.

There's an episode where the giant black lawyer is defending this guy who murdered and raped a kid. Guy leans over and says to him in court "Would it matter that I raped him after he was dead?" Deep breath by black guy "No." Creepy dude looks at kid's parents, smiles and says "I bet it would to them." Black lawyer then beats the ever living fuck out of his own client right there in the courtroom. Brought a tear to my eye.

About Sacco and Vanzetti. Sacco was unquestionably guilty. Updated FBI ballistics tests conducted in 1961 confirmed that his was the gun that certainly killed  one of the two victims, Berardelli, the paymaster's guard. Other evidence, some presented at trial and some found later, after his execution, removes any doubt Sacco was one of the triggermen. Vanzetti, on the other hand, could very well have been innocent of participation in the robbery, although both he and Sacco were members of the same anarchist cell and Vanzetti almost certainly knew far more than he was telling.

My point was that 150 years after the Civil War, you have peole like me who are still touchy about it. I am not saying it's logical, I am saying I am not surprised, since half the damn South is still torqued about an event that is a century and half old. In my experience, the older black folks are by far more forgiving and understanding than the young ones. Young people of all races get caught up in causes and idealogical fervor, especially when it's based on horrible behaviours of the past.

I don't call myself Caucasian, but I'd check that box on the form. Hispanics would typically check White on the race box, then one of the "Do you consider yourself Hispanic" Yes or No box. 89 percent would check Yes. They are White Hispanics.

#492 Right, as soon as the name Zimmerman was read, the assumption was made that he is white, and probably a Joooo.  Because all Hispanics are named Rodriguez or Martinez.  And only white people can be suspicious of a strange black guy walking through their neighborhood with a hoodie over his face in broad daylight, and only white guys have guns.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 12, 2013 01:47 PM (QJcz+)

 

Well, to begin with, if I were president, I would never have commented on a local law enforcement story at all.  Among the many things wrong with this country is the notion that the prez has to be on TV every single day.

 

That being said, I would very calmly, but sternly, remind people of the rule of law and the right to trial by jury.  I would also caution against mob thinking and express the hope that the police would make sure any sort of shenanigans would not be tolerated.

524 God protect those jurors. I hope they base the verdict ton facts and have courage to do the right thing and not be terrified by worries about violence against them

fwiw, there's no "Black Hispanic" because (according to some) they don't exist.  I share a house with an African-American male.  He says that David Ortiz isn't black.  I point out that he's darker than roomie, roomie says that's not what counts. 

 

(I dropped it before getting into whether Obama is not black because he doesn't have slave ancestry.  Just saying, people are all kinds of weird about shit).

KosKidd  solved the case, Perry Mason style:

 

Ok, so here's my theory....

Zimmerman Grabbed Trayvon.

 

 

It all makes sense now.  It's so clear,  Stevie Wonder could see it.  Like this:

[continued] 

He didn't want the little Asshole Punk to get away.  He grabs onto his hoodie, dropping his keys and small flashlight in the process. Trayvon pulls back, causing the lanyard to be pulled way out on one side where Zimmerman is gripping him.

 

 

Then Trayvon, in terror, decides to FIGHT.  He throws a left hook catching Zimmerman in the nose.  They both go down because he WON'T let go, Zimmerman's head is scratched on the cement. They wrestle, Trayvon on top - trying to disengage - thrashing side to side. Good sees them - Looks like "Pound and Ground" to him from the back, but he doesn't see any blows impact.  Doesn't hear a head smacking on concrete. Can't see their hands because George is holding onto Trayvon to KEEP HIM FROM ESCAPING while Trayvon is struggling to get away and screaming "HELP HELP" in panic.  George may be yelling too, as he said, "Call the Cops, Help me with this guy" but not as loud, doesn't pick up on Lauer's 9-11 call.

 

 

George isn't punching back because his hands are busy gripping Trayvon's hoodie, keeping him from getting up and running away.  Trayvon is pushing back, trying to lift up - possibly punching at George, but mostly trying to stand and get away as clearly George doesn't suffer from 20 or 30 separate blows in 40 seconds. (Ali punching speed)

 

 

But then suddenly he breaks free... he starts to stand up, still bent over.  Their bodies are parallel - at the 90% entry angle - Trayvon's hoodie is pulled forward as he straightens his knees, weighted by the Watermelon flavored Arizona Tea can in his front pocket.  Zimmerman, now with Trayvon's weight off of him, reaches behind his right hip - pulls his gun, extending his right arm fully - as he explained in his Police Interview, to make sure he didn't hit his own left hand, spans the extended distance of about 40 inches between them - muzzle contacting the hoodie as Trayvon lifts up, backing away (as one of the ME/Expert Witnesses Contented). Trayvon sees the gun. "No, Don't!". George FIRES striking Trayvon in the heart, collapsing his right lung.

 

Well, with evidence like that, who could possibly return a verdict  of Not Guilty?

And what do you you think he will do, if anything?

 

I honestly have no idea.  I hope he keeps his silly trap shut, but since he loves the sound of his own voice, that's doubtful.  I'd guess he'll make some weasel statement about gun violence and how we can't afford to lose more of our sons and daughters (or "our children") to this menace.

535 I'm thinking any rioting/looting will be confined mainly to urban areas where people are unarmed and defenseless, more to steal too. I phoned a friend in NYC and asked him if he intends to urinate on himself or vomit if he's attacked.  I find it interesting that the phony white liberal instigators will likely feel the brunt of the "moral outrage."

539 Yesterday was stuck listening to hannity, wasn't my car or my choice.  Anyway he had furman and some other guy on that were pro the rule of law and some other guy who was out there with all his assumptions about this case.  But, in the end, with all three trouncing him he said something that stuck out and was sort of frightening in a way.  He said something to the effect that the jurors can do whatever they want by law and the American people will have to learn to live with that. 

I immediately thought what does he know that the rest of us don't.  Now, I've listened to little of this, mostly read what other people have written on both sides and a little of savage declaring zimmerman guilty.  But that comment seemed totally bizarre and it came at the end and hannity missed it, or did he?

552 Overall I thought O'Mara did an excellent job. Two notable omissions IMHO though. First, he should have followed the argument that the cries for help were Zimmerman's with playing that recording, and noting the 30+ seconds of screaming, and obvious distress in that recording. Then, right away, argue strongly that if the Jury has even a reasonable doubt that this MAY be Zimmerman, it must follow that that person, screaming for help for over 30 seconds, must by definition have been in reasonable fear of serious bodily harm. This is a significant enough fact that, by itself, it could/should have been the very end of the closing. Second, he should have made a major theme of their promise and responsibility not to let any "impermissible factors" or anything outside the courtroom, friends, family (by implication rioters) influence the outcome. You can walk up to this without naming the worst case scenario, but more promising reminding and shaming on that issue should have been a central theme (that should also have been prominent in Voir Dire). But overall, a great lawyer and a class act. I think (hope and pray) it bodes well.

555 Despite the evidence clearly showing Zimmerman SHOULD be acquitted of all charges, he's simply NOT going to be acquitted of all charges. Just take a look at the profiles of the six members of the jury:

http://tinyurl.com/p6mtcxz

If somehow he only gets convicted of manslaughter, it will be a victory for him. To top it off, I just read this tweet:

https://twitter.com/realSherryP/status/355763377273974786

And to think that this country used to be the greatest one in the history of mankind. Those days are long in the past. Too many morons in this country who lack critical-thinking skills.

George Zimmerman may be in trouble.

 

What are the odds that an all female jury would reject the emotionalism and

cheap courtroom theatrics presented by the prosecution in favor of the appeal

to reason, logic and the law presented by the defense?

561 Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white. The government in America and all white countries has been "anti-racist" for decades. It's now so extreme that the government subsidizes agitation against someone falsely accused of being white.
