Judge Nelson denied the defendant’s motions to modify and to clarify the conditions of his release.
The defendant’s motion to modify the conditions of his release was a request to terminate GPS monitoring and lift the travel restrictions. After Mark O’Mara opened by asserting the defendant’s innocence and supporting that claim with his revisionist history of the case, including waving a document with color copies side by side of the two manipulated photographs of the front and back of the defendant’s head, Bernie de la Rionda mocked the request with a righteous rant about the defendant’s desire to travel so that he could appear in public and sell more copies of his autograph.
He also mentioned that Jose Baez had turned over two memos from Chris Serino dated early in the investigation when Serino and others were considering recommending that the defendant be charged with second degree murder.
Judge Nelson denied the motion without comment.
The defendant’s motion to clarify the conditions of his release was an effort to obtain permission to contact friends. Judge Nelson denied the motion noting that Judge Lester had imposed the conditions and there had not been any material change of circumstances to alter those conditions. She noted parenthetically that she did not see any prohibition in the order that would not allow him to contact his friends.
In other words, the motion was a waste of the court’s time.
An earlier motion asking the court to order the prosecution to disclose the identities of all witnesses who had identified the defendant as the person screaming in the background of the 911 call was resolved by agreement of the parties.
There was no argument about the defendant’s motion to seal the defendant’s emails, text messages and journal entries. Apparently, the motion was not timely and will be taken up at the next motions hearing.
The next motions hearing is scheduled for January 8, 2013.
UPDATE: LLMPapa’s latest video.
Frederick Leatherman Law Blog 
I agree Malisha!! I felt like West was trying to get BDLR to ADMIT in court that the voice was Zimmerman’s, so they can say, “look even prosecution admitted it was Zimmerman’s”. MOM & West is throwing all kinds of ish out there, even if they confuse themselves in the process…lol
No non-expert “identifying” a voice on tape is either Brady material OR evidence, in my opinion. Let’s say I know nothing about voice identification. Let’s say I hear something. Let’s say I think the person saying something is Trayvon Martin. Is my opinion about what I heard “evidence”? Not unless (a) I did something based on my recognition of the voice and I am on trial for doing that something that I did based on my recognition of the voice; or (b) I am a certified forensic expert qualified to opine on the origin of the voice or (c) I am someone who heard the voice, at the time, and thereupon concluded something, at the time, that had to do with my recognition of the voice. Such as: “I knew that I was hearing Trayvon Martin scream and that is why I called his father and told him about it,” or “I knew who was screaming so I called the police and told them who was screaming.”
Otherwise, who cares which layperson thought the voice was Trayvon Martin and/or who did not? What can they possibly know about voice identification that occurred at a time when they were not present? What does it matter?
I just about died laughing when Zero’s eyes popped out while he was looking down and listening and Bernie mentioned ” possibly two voices “. That lasted like 2-3 seconds and he quickly remembered he was on camera and tried to appear normal or unfazed. Bernie was on it
It’s around 8:31 into the video. GZ’s eyes rolled up in his head and he began chewing his teeth.
I would like someone tell me how to fight someone with getting
his DNA on me, this GZ is like white man who shot wife and unborn
bady, he in a black part town, high crime area, everyone believe
in his story of an car jacking went wrong. It was so easy accepted
that a black male did it, because he said so. He almost got away
with it until someone ask if the shooter was in the back behind the woman why
isn’t the angle of the bullet going striaght in.
New Zimmerman evidence: Serino changed final report four times in five hours
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/trayvon-martin/os-george-zimmerman-serino-changes-affidavit-20121212,0,43028.story
SANFORD – After Chris Serino, the Sanford police detective who led the investigation into the Trayvon Martin shooting death, wrote the most important police report in the case, he revised it at least four times.
And he made at least one huge change: He initially said George Zimmerman should be charged with second-degree murder then changed course and recommended a charge of manslaughter, according to a prosecutor and new list of evidence.
Serino made all those revisions to the report summarizing his findings during one five-hour stretch on March 13, according to a newly-released evidence list.
The pain
Sometime ago I hit my head on a low hanging pipe
The pain brought me to my knees
I couldn’t think at all
I was hold my head hoping the pain will go away
But I need be strong like GZ
Because he can take pain
Getting an head bashing against the concrete one after another
Getting his nose broken and someone holding his nose down
Pain is nothing to GZ
Because if his head wasn’t being pound into the concrete
His nose was being punched(broken nose)
That’s pain.
Than he gets punched in the face
More pain
But GZ is a strong man he was a bouncer
Just because he pain was out of this world
blood in his eyes
boold in his throat
cannot hardly breath
If you’re into pain you need
to get with GZ
Somehow he can still……………………..
Does GZ have any pictures of his back when at the police station
Why takes pictures of george Z hands when he already wash them
I no longer believe in all police shows or CSI
Because that night they didn’t do anytime
Even george underwear would have been very wet on the butt side
If you watch a foot ball game and it raining or stopped raining
If you fall into the grass, push into the grass you can see it
Gives Gz his photo,s let talk about what’s not there
There is nothing new under the sun somebody somewhere
Has been beaten like GZ said he was
I bet over 10 thousands
Get thiers pictures of what they look like after the fight
And what look like minutes, hours, or days after the fight
Then look at GZ pictures
GZ cannot get away from cause and effect
If TM cause all that damage
What is the effect on his body
If GZ head was hit on sidewalk
think of the effect
on GZ head

New Post Up:
The Gladys and Robert Zimmerman Jr Show on Univision
Poor Mama Zim is delusional. Now, according to her, George had his head “bust” open, and thats on top of having his face smashed into the sidewalk so sayeth Omara. All that brutality and yet his ambulance was cancelled and he simply went to his family physician the next day to see a PA.
I would love just once if an interviewer would stop throwing softball questions and ask WHY did not Chorge see a physician in a hospital setting if he feared for his life because of the alleged injuries. I don’t care how old Mama Z is, if she chooses to make statements, there should be follow up questions, even if they may make her uncomfortable.

NO HEAD TRAUMA….
I have been a Nurse for 23 years, and a Nurse Practitioner for the last ten. I have commented on this subject ad nauseum and discussed this topic with my Dr. friends, some I have known 20 years and more. My ENT friends, and a Neurologist who I have knows for years in this hospital stated to me, that GZ did not have his big fat head bashed against the ground. He did not want to be seen in E.R. because he knew that his injuries would not be consistent with the level of trauma that one would sustain when one receives a head bashing against the concrete ground. In the medical field, a pt. can come in the E.R. and by the size of the injury and the level of trauma, we know how they sustained the injuries because we have experience in how the injury was sustained!!
When one say, gets punced for example, the individual who did the punching will have bruises and redness on their knuckles. The victim will have sustained bruises which look as if they are inflicted by knuckles and they all look the same! GZ was afraid that he was bgoing to be drug tested and that would reveal if he were under the influence of alcohol or any other mood altering drug! I canot wait until the DA shows the jury his photos and confers with the Expert specialists who can explain what the head of someone looks like after sustaining head injuries from the concrete ground and then asks the jury why the defendant did not go to a hospital, but to his own NP for an evaluation and assessment??? Then to only seek a note to return to work. WORK?? WTH?? If he was beaten so badly, why would he be going back to work??
They should change the name from univision to zerovision.
I have one question for anyone that may know.
We have seen the shirt and hoodie TM wore now…
Any word on his pants? I would think one key piece of evidence would be seen there, in that his knees would have significant ground in dirt and grass stains by necessarily having to dig in, as well as the tips of his sneakers, if it went down as Z said it did.
I would think that would be devastating to Z’s story if prosecution holds up Trayvon’s pants before the jury and they are clean of any such debris. That goes right to the heart of Z’s story.
As I look around, I haven’t been able to find these reports released as evidence yet. I could be wrong, but I haven’t seen it. Have you?
Any thought on this key piece of evidence?
I always wondered about the pants too. They definitely would have had wet knees and below and maybe grass stains if Tugboat’s commentary is correct. However, the clothing probably wasn’t examined until the autopsy, so may have dried, although grass stains, if present, wouldn’t disappear. ???
Robert Zimmerman is constantly claiming he and George are afraid to be in public because of threats but he continues to show his face and speak in public.
They’re all scheming $%&@. Watch at the 58 second mark how Robert Zimmerman pretends to be watching over his shoulders. Who do they think they’re fooling here? I so despise these people.
SG2: “Watch at the 58 second mark how Robert Zimmerman pretends to be watching over his shoulders.”
He is “acting” and auditioning at the same time. It is apparent RZ LOVES the camera, the spotlight and to hear himself talk.
@JM
Nailed it!
Smh! Why the heck was he looking over his shoulder no one is looking for this fool or his family. Why are they such liars, this family is sick.
That was so silly, the looking over his shoulders. the more this family talks, the more they look like fools.
I hope I didn’t break any rules there!
The first time he mentioned being scared (in one of his interviews), he was later seen wandering about a mall and tweeting. Trent Sawyer caught it. Right after the interview.
I chose the name “Malisha” long ago and for two reasons:
(1) It sounds like it came from “Malicious” and I announced that as my reason for the choice; and
(2) It was cute. Treepers think it’s 1980’s African American (rhymes with Trisha) and so forth, making it even cuter.
I’m an old Jewish woman. But, as it says in “Airplane,” I speak jive.

Its on the left hand side of the jacket on the left photo difficult to if its blood or shadow a few inches down from collar on upper left of jacket…It is also present on the right photo but hard to spot siince the right hand phots at tottal diffrent resolution an a realy low pixell count..Left hand imige is much sharper.
tonydphotog: Could you explain the two photo’s better?
Where did each one come from? Why are they different. Confused.
Sorry for any confusion. They’re both the same photo, but only one appears to have something splattered on it, next to the zipper.
The photo on the left is the one that we’ve been analyzing, and questioning if it has been altered. I think it originated from the GZlegal website.
The photo on the right is the one O’Mara included in the motion for yesterday’s court hearing.
Knowing whoever photoshopped the picture of Cheorge in the police car isn’t an expert at photoshop, I knew there had to be an obvious mistake sooner or later.
Blood is only on the jacket in one photo, not both.
I’m new at links, and I hope this works!

The photo on the right has something on the jacket. I figured that they were trying to make it look like the blood dripped onto the jacket. I could be wrong, but whatever it is, it’s only on one of the photos.
The photo on the right is the one they included in their motion.
@ KA
“If the trajectory of the bullet and other physical evidence shows GZ was on top when he shot Trayvon, doesn’t that mean “game over” for the self defense claim and defense?”
IMO, the answer to your question is: YES. As I have always stated, ballistics (i.e. the trajectory of the bullet), is the single most powerful evidence in the Prosecution’s arsenal. There are other powerful evidence in this case, but the ballistics reigns supreme amongst them all – in that it does not lend itself to multiple logical/plausible interpretations (incorruptible evidence) . The said trajectory tells us ONE simple truth: Fogen was NOT lying on his back with Trayvon mounted on him, etc., when the fatal shot was fired. The opposite will negate the rudimental laws of physics and geometry. This, in itself, comprehensively rules out the self-defense story, as constructed by Fogen.
Have we seen anything definitive other than shot at close range?
Yes, it’s in the autopsy report.
Rach, the shot was not just fired at close range. The fired shot entered the chest cavity from the front to the back WITHOUT ANGLES – meaning a perfect straight shot that could not have been fired from an angled position.
Thanks. I knew that and I know that is why it would have been impossible if he was on his back but I guess – well what I’m concerned with is why we haven’t heard more of this. We hear about GZ following, we hear about the screaming, but why isn’t there more regarding this? I mean I have heard it some, but – I’m not sure what I’m trying to say – my mind is mushed out trying to study for my communications final later, so I am having difficulty communicating now LOL – but I guess what I am asking is if there is any other than close range and without angles is there any definitive documentation correlating this or do we have to wait until trial when experts take what is documented and correlate it for the jury.
I mean if “they” can wave a (photoshopped?) picture of GZ’s nose, why isn’t this being waved around? It seems more damning than the screaming, DD, and when combined with GZ following, pretty well closes the case – in my mind anyway.
“… well what I’m concerned with is why we haven’t heard more of this.”
I guess that BDLR does not want to be lured into trying the case even before the trial begins – no matter how hard O’Mara triesto get him to do just that. Did you notice that BDLR kept completely quiet when O’Mara was dancing around- and singing with “the photo of innocence”. That was a strategic silence that spoke loud (to me): O’Mara cannot figure out what the prosecution is thinking and what its strategy would be during the trial, while BDLR would want O’Mara to remain in the dark and continue guessing. Yesterday he (O’Mara) desperately wanted BDLR to reveal his thoughts on the “the photo of innocence”. But BDLR wouldn’t utter a word regarding that “photo of innocence”. The Corey-team appear to be more than ready for trial and very poised to bring Fogen down. O’Mara, it seems to me, is still not to get into the head of the prosecution by correctly reading and interpreting the signature of objective evidence.
I cannot say why the media has been mute not just on the issue of ‘the trajectory’ but also on the lack of Fogen’s DNA on Trayvon’s hands. The absence of that DNA on Trayvon’s hands is huge, IMO, but apparently not juicy enough for the media. In any case, that’s good for the prosecution because it keeps the defense focused and betting on the wrong horse.
Typo. Pls. read: O’Mara it seems to me is still not = able = to get ….
Focused on the wrong horse could be a great thing, especially when this horse gets let out of the gates at the trial.
Thanks so much!
The bullet entered the chest from “intermediate range” and at NO ANGLE, just straight in. It entered the clothing, however, at an angle and at “point blank range.” Therefore, the shirt and hoodie were being pulled away from the body and at an angle to their normal “hang” when the body was dressed, and the bullet was shot through hoodie, shirt and into chest with the bullet passing through some space (air) between shirt and chest. The combination of straight shot (no angle) and “intermediate” for chest while “point blank” for clothing, together with Fogen’s DNA on Trayvon Martin’s clothing, makes it a pretty tight case for the idea that Fogen had a grip on Martin’s clothing when he shit him straight through the heart, either from a parallel standing position or from above, with Trayvon on his back on the ground. You can draw the vectors and see how it would go.
The perfect straight line (made by the shot fired) is only possible in the following scenarios:
(a). Fogen and Trayvon would be standing facing each other
or
(b). Fogen is on top of Trayvon with the barrel of the gun pointed in a vertical straight line to his chest.
There are no other options. Witness statements rule out scenario ‘a’ (which btw does not favor Fogen).
Thanks. I understand and agree, I just wish we would hear more about this than some of the other stuff. But in the end, it will all come out.
Thanks.

Haha, you are too young to understand my friend. Don’t worry.
Are you the same chap who chided me for calling them aliens?
I’m the chap who wrote above, “Yes, their hateful words and thoughts should be ignored, or mocked, and no one should concede any power or authority to them at all. But despite the drivel they drool, they are human beings, and most of them are not beyond redemption.” I placed my post under yours because that seemed the best place to address the issue. You did not start the discourse I questioned, but as the blog owner, as a member of the bar, and as our Professor I hold your words to a higher standard. And it was your words I chided, not your totality as a person which, again, I am in no position to judge.
And I do appreciate your apology very much. In a way it’s easy for me to take the high road on this particular matter because I’m very even tempered. However, I do understand all too well the struggles against the aspects of one’s nature; mine are just in other areas. Some people’s blood runs hot, and they need to vent, and that’s all it is, really: letting off heat.
I do not forgive the actions of the active Treepers, and I certainly wouldn’t ask anyone else to do so. But I do not want to assume that each and every one of them is locked in the darkness forever. I want to hold the hope that some of them might be change, and become worthy of – if not forgiveness at least something in that direction.
But while I hold hope for their souls, I shall lambaste their words and ill-logics as it suits my funny bone to do so. I mean, I can’t let Malisha have all the fun, now can I?
Peace to you, Brother Frederick.

I was just laughing about the NBC suit because I realized something really funny: it would be such a beating to Fogen if this went to trial that it would almost be worth seeing NBC pay him a few hundred dollars to have footage of him suffering for days and days while the defense made their case, and THEN, and THEN:
No, let me tell a story first to set the background and then we can go back to do the calculation.
Story: When my kid was a sophomore in college, three guys from his dorm who knew that he was a very generous kid asked if he would go in with them as the fourth guy to rent an apartment for the following year. They were not his usual kind of kid, just met him in the dorm and realized he would buy lunch for others, help out with whatever, tutor kids for free. So they rented this apartment but to get a lower monthly rent they rented it for 12 months rather than the 10 of the semester. In the summer, before the semester started, I stayed down there with him for a while helping him with some stuff; we also furnished the place ourselves (except for the bedrooms) and cleaned some things that had been left, well, we cleaned up. When the boys arrived with their bedroom furniture, the mother of one of the boys suddenly pitched a hissy fit because she said I had stayed there without paying rent! Her boy had suffered from that and I owed them; also, I didn’t have her son’s permission to stay there in HIS apartment. She went off. (This had to be about personal hatred or jealousy because there was no other sign of a problem.) So I said, “Oh, that’s fine. Let’s sit down at the kitchen table [It was the kitchen table I had furnished] and figure this out. For two months, the rent would be $210 at the monthly rental rate for the boys. But since the number of tenants is five instead of four, that monthly rental rate was not $105 per month per boy but rather, oh let’s see, $84 per month per person so that’s $168. But I don’t owe that to all one person, but to four boys, so that’s $168/4 so that’s $41. So I’ll just write out a check to your son for his forty-one dollars and I’ll pay the other boys all separately.” I began to write out a check. The other boys looked around the apartment and saw an espresso maker, a regular coffee maker, furniture, curtains, kitchen implements including cookware, a space cabinet full of essentials, etc. One of them said, “Oh I don’t need mine.” The others followed suit. Then the angry woman’s husband spoke up, “Forget it; we don’t need the $41.”
Now I can see NBC. The jury finds that NBC and those three nefarious journalists harmed Fogen. But they subtract the total award of $1,000 thus:
From 2/26/2012 until 3/19/2012 he was suffering from sleeplessness and misery and crying for three days straight and living in fear for his life before this terrible deed so that’s 22 days’ worth of misery money subtracted;
From 3/20/2012 until… [his suffering was due to something else that had come out…]
From 4/10/2012 until… [his suffering was the result of being in jail and separated from dear Shellie…]
From 5/1…. and on and on. In other words, there is a tiny window of time when Fogen could have been suffering because of the NBC thing. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
I just hope that one of the calculations will be:
“On such and such a date, his suffering is attributable to words that a certain blogger Malisha wrote, saying…” 😮
Brilliant!
PS – They call you Malicious over at the Treestump. I think you’re just – realistic!
That’s what is called nominal damages of $1.
Wouldn’t that be a hoot if NBC had offered a nominal damage fee like that and why a big, dramatic suit was filed ~
I dont know if this has been brought up, but, Thugboats suit has a transcript of the NEN call. His lawyers have redacted the – fn coons and another spot. Ironic, since he complains about NBC editing.
KA, usually at the beginning of a hearing the Bailiff will announced, “All rise,” and then announce the name of the court and the name of the judge, ending with “The Honorable [name] presiding” and as the judge enters, all rise. Do you mean that the bailiff announced and Fogen remained seated? Uh oh.
I just read (I haven’t watched yet) that GZ did not stand when the judge entered, is that true?
I was in court this past summer with an adoption, my kids even knew to stand…I am really just amazed at the blatant disregard for this new judge. I bet if we watched an video of the Judge Lester’s courtroom or when he testified at the first hearing, he stood up. He has been in court enough to well know the protocol.
Last time they were 15 minutes late to court and now he does not even stand?
It makes me question their intent there. I would think if I was O’Mara, I would have yanked him up by his arm to show attempted respect.
He did not stand. In fact, I do believe I saw him chewing gum once in awhile. It also appeared that he was texting at times. The Thugboat, IMO, has a problem with women.
Professor,
If the trajectory of the bullet and other physical evidence shows GZ was on top when he shot Trayvon, doesn’t that mean “game over” for the self defense claim and defense?
Through all this back and forth and motions it seems to me the simple truth of GZ clenching Trayvon’s shirt and shooting him from the top is the key point that the prosecution needs to push during the immunity hearing.
I would think if they are successful in the hearing (which I have no doubt) and the evidence is compelling for GZ holding Trayvon’s shirt and shooting on top, they really will have no real defense. Wouldn’t that eliminate a self defense/SYG claim?
I don’t if this can be done, but can an immunity hearing be waved? If it can, I think Omara will do just that. He doesn’t want his client to answer questions. Zimmerman will get destroyed.
I meant waived
They never set a date for the SYG hearing. They have until April.
Yes, he can waive the hearing, which would probably be a good idea, since the carefully manufactured faux defense will be destroyed in a public proceeding for all to see.
This would undermine their strategy, which appears to be to poison the potential jury pool with enough people blinded by their appeal to racism, demonization of Trayvon and misinformation campaign that they are so convinced of the defendant’s innocence and determined to acquit him, regardless of the evidence, that they become stealth jurors concealing their true beliefs in order to sneak on the jury, ignore the evidence, and vote to acquit.
Yes, that’s one helluva crazy strategy that has little chance to prevail, but how else can one explain what they are doing?
Waving photoshopped “bloody” photos of the defendant’s face and the back of his head for the TV cameras without moving them into evidence for purposes of the hearing to support the claim of innocence was pure sleaze.
More important, since O’Mara knows the rules of evidence and proper procedure, we can reasonably conclude that he knows the photos were photoshopped and that is why he did not attempt to get them admitted.
Those photos are extremely important to his case and he would not have innocently forgotten to offer them into evidence for purposes of that hearing, unless he knew or had reason to know they were bogus and BDLR would have brought that out forever debunking the photos.
@MasoninBlue
I am confused. Clarify please. The black and white photo was entered into evidence by O’mara on June 29th at the second bond hearing to Judge Lester. Does he have to reenter the “color photo” into evidence? And also, is it legal for him to wave the photo around in court, but not enter it into evidence?
Thank you in advance for your repsonse.
No, it’s not appropriate to flash it at the TV camera and “yes,” he should have offered it into evidence because this is a separate hearing and he was arguing that the photos established the defendant’s innocence.
Thank You !
They have no defense as demonstrated by their unrelenting effort to try their case in the court of public opinion, where the rules of evidence do not apply and they can misrepresent the evidence, flash photoshopped images of the defendant’s claimed injuries, play the race card and blame the victim as much as they want in hopes of poisoning the pool of potential jurors to such an extent that a stealth juror sneaks onto the jury and votes” Not Guilty,” despite overwhelming evidence of guilt.
What I don’t understand is how THEY can be allowed to poison the pool of potential jurors then claim they can’t get a fair trial when it is THEIR doing?
“What I don’t understand is how THEY can be allowed to poison the pool of potential jurors then claim they can’t get a fair trial when it is THEIR doing?”
I don’t think O’Mara gives a care about anything but winning (Charlie Sheen style) at any cost and raising funds from racists. It’s all duplicitous double-talk and IMO this whole case is sleazier/uglier than anything I have ever seen.
You know what would be nice of NBC. When they are done slaughtering Fogenhats in court and have him pay the fees lulled up because of his frivolous lawsuit, they should give the money to Sybrina.
Yes, to their foundation. Or to any of the groups working on gun control.
Piranhamom, you referred to what “Jeremy” is saying when he says, “He warned me to … ” [something like] “chaircho” —
I can’t tell if it’s “He wants me to…” or “He warned me to…” or some other such combination. I can’t hear the individual words after that. I’m sure there is equipment that makes it more audible.
Strangely, I remember in 1970 working on typing up a transcript from a tape of someone speaking English with a thick Yiddish accent and an excited kind of gravelly voice and poor syntax. I was in a little room with a dictaphone and a typewriter. I worked on one phrase about a second long, couldn’t get it, went back over it hundreds of times. Finallly it emerged: “Like a train wreck.”
It was totally “data-free” in the context of what the man was talking about — he was just making an exclamation of how surprised he was about something, which didn’t matter — but the difference between the sounds before they became clear to me and after they became clear to me was like Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker suddenly understanding “wa wa.” Amazing.
Malisha…..Who is ultimately analyzing all the calls. I would like to take out the callers voice and the NEN operators voice and just be able to listen and zoom in on the backround voices without the interference of the louder voices that cut in and out.
What helped me was listening to it like listening to a concert. I played violin in high school and college orchestras and our conductor always knew when the wind section was off, or the strings section was off.
When listening to that call, see each voice as an instrument. Then listen for the percussion section. GZ’s voice captured in the background is like the percussion section. It’s there, but don’t let the louder instruments distract you.
I know the feeling. and once you hear it, you can’t unhear it and it almost seems ridiculous that you could not before
That’s exactly right! And it only “clicks in” and becomes comprehensible after many, many listens, all the while sounding like cotton candy being chewed by a terrier.
Santa and Fogen.
Fogen cannot go to see Santa in the store this year because of all the death threats, so he has his brother Robert Junior write to Santa. Robert’s open letter says:
—————————————————————
Dear Santa,
My brother, who is a decent American, wants the following:
1. His gun back and a supply of hollow-point bullets;
2. A luxury hotel room for him and another for Shellie for two years;
3. Another bicycle because the one he had was stolen by a “Black male” but some racists pulled a trick and switched serial numbers so the police let the asshole get away;
4. The board game Monopoly so he has a new get-out-of-jail-free card.
5. $2,000,000 to compensate him for being the most hated man in America.
6. A video of his interview with Sean Hannity and a 400-ft. flat-screen TV to show it on.
7. A new schtruck.
8. His own personal body-guards that he doesn’t have to pay because he owns them.
9. A passport, in triplicate.
– and, last but not least –
10. A personal plastic surgeon to give him a nose job.
PS: Santa, my family has always loved you.
Sincerely,
Junior
Santa would tell Fogenhats he has been a naughty boy, or in his words, up to no good and “walkin round lookin about”
He gets coal this year
Not even “clean coal”.
Bor-DL, I think someone else started “Chorge” but I then started to use “Cheorge” not because we were imitating a Hispanic accent (indeed, Fogen doesn’t have a Hispanic accent) but because he kind of “sings” the beginnings of his words at times and at other times sounds like he’s a bit under the influence.
Schtruck for truck.
Kalubbhouse for clubhouse.
Zssimmerman for Zimmerman.
Cheorge or Chorge for George.
Coons for punks.
It might be a sort of speech defect, I don’t know.
Walkin’ round lookin about = walking while black
BTW, I noticed a similarity in what the defendant did compared to Raul Rodriguez in setting up and staging the “SYG” kill
Yeah they recorded their own incriminating evidence?
Sent from my iPod
Yep exactly. They both thought it would help their case.
“Chorge” reads as anti-Hispanic because it appears derived from ‘Jorge.’ This has struck some people, including me, as inappropriate. I failed to recognize the reference to GZ’s speech patterns, which is odd (or telling), given that his habit of putting an ‘h’ behind his opening consonants was one of the things that came up in my phonetic breakdown establishing that he said ‘coons’ (pronounced ‘khoons”), not ‘punks.’ So I had listened to that ‘h’ thing over and over for hours.
Thanks Malisha, for making your intent clear. Just MHO, but I don’t see a problem in referring to GZ as “Cheorge,” with that spelling.
I prefer Fogen right now anyway. But I never even thought of the accent angle.
My son has a friend from Honduras who taught my kid auto mechanics. My kid is a Jew. His favorite part of the car is what his friend refers to as the “Jew Joint.” I still don’t know what a “U-joint” is on a car but I enjoy hearing my kid describe the insides of a car with a Hispanic accent. 😀
I must say that Fogen’s accent irritates me, but it’s probably not his pronunciation so much as his fake respectfulness. He respects nobody; people whom he fears, he pretends to respect.
#Whonoze,
Why would “Chorge” read as anti-Hispanic because it appears to be derived from Jorge?
If anyone wanted to mock his Hispanic heritag by using some phonetic version of that name, they would be calling him HOR-HAY.
Hmmmm. Considering how he raked in the hay, maybe he is a HOR.
PiranhaMom: Why would “Chorge” read as anti-Hispanic because it appears to be derived from Jorge? If anyone wanted to mock his Hispanic heritag by using some phonetic version of that name, they would be calling him HOR-HAY.”
Thanks. I never dreamed calling George Chorge would be construed as racist. I had friends who were primarily Spanish speaking and they did not pronounce the name Jorge as Chorge.
I’ve lived in the midst of SW Hispanic culture for most of my life, and to me, Tugboat has a trace of Hispanic accent combined with a S. FL accent. Just exactly the same as his physical/cultural background. But notice how strong that S. accent came out in the NEN call – and more slurring than is usual for him when we’ve heard him speak in court.. I don’t know what his deal was!
i think he was on drugs or sumpin’
Jun J Nelson dint have to make any ruleing..J Lester only ever stated he couldnt contact Trayvons Family.direct or indirect..No mention was made witnesses that include his family ect…Casey Anthony was able to speak to her parents even although they where witnesses.Although she chose not to in the last time she was locked up.That was on behest of her attorneys advice…as Fred sais s t f u or I will kill you wwith bare hands..M O M an West apeared hopelessly out of touch an depth today..
I think they just wanted to clarify it for Tugboat because he felt he couldn’t talk to his friends who are listed as witnesses.
When you have friends like his – who write a book saying you said things that do not mesh with statements given – why would you want to talk with them anyway. Who knows what they will say/do next. But hey, it seems the more he talks the better it is for the prosecution!
I dont think he can talk to Taffe or Osterman because they are witnesses for the State. He can depose anyone though
Okay so am I correct?
The defendant can only speak to the witnesses during depositions or directly with them?
I thought she only ruled that he could speak to his friends
She didn’t rule on this motion other than to keep it as Judge Lester had it. She simply stated that he can talk to his friends and family.
>^..^< meowing with glee!
Breaking news: New filing by the Defense
Motion to have judge Lester reappointed to case, George said he does not like this lady.
Next hearing
Omara will file 100 motions that all get denied
You’re joking, right?
who me? never!!!!!
LOL@Tzar.
Did you notice that GZ wrote and passed a note to MOM as Bernie was arguing against the motion to modify release? When MOM got up again, he talked the mumbo, jumbo stuff about GZ not being able to return to work, return to school, and Shellie not being able to return to school. What the heck does that have to do with conditions of bail? GZ is one big crybaby.
That is a product of his parents enabling him and throughout his life not being held accountable for his actions
But in the defendant’s deranged mind, a person who targets, stalks, confronts, threatens, and kills a kid should just go to work like it is nothing and he wonders why they feel he is depraved
GZ believes he is entitled — entitled to do whatever he wants and he also has a threatening disposition about himself. I could see him clinch his teeth and stick out his chin in court today when Bernie was before the court. I suspect that Bernie will be the next person who the Zidiots attack and demean.
LMAO well they are being led by Lord Zimmernuts Fogenhats LMAO
I have a feeling the defendant has been online arguing with people
and yes I caught him mean mugging Bernie
He did the same to Sybrina and Tracy at the first bond hearing
Cant wait till the state, federal or both convict him
Xena…Has it been mentioned anywhere if GZ was able to collect unemployment comp. after he stopped working? Are he and shellie collecting government assistance or foodstamps?
It hasn’t been mentioned, but unemployment law in most states deny unemployment benefits when the claimant’s action is responsible for their separation from employment.
Government benefits such as food stamps are based on income, so GZ and ShelLIE no doubt would be approved if they weren’t already. GZ being ADHD could probably be considered in his dietary needs to approve him for food stamps based on a family of 2 with an unemployed spouse.
Shellie has not been in school since 2010. GZ could work remotely.
Honestly, I just chuckle at his “not being able to work” crud. If he thinks his life is threatened then he cannot GO to an office, but he can still work.
I find it amusing that the reason he “cannot work” is that he is in fear for his life from some random person in the human gene pool, but not that he “cannot work” because everyone in America knows he killed an unarmed 17 yr olds and has an ankle bracelet awaiting trial for 2nd degree murder….I am sure if he had a bullet proof plastic bubble around him no one would hire him anyway.
I can not think of a single position in this country that would well hire a man on bail for Murder 2 over any other person on the planet that puts in their resume….not to mention he rarely kept a job over the last decade, sued one of his last employers he only worked for three months for overtime…(and made more in the settlement than he made at the job)…had a public recording of a former co worker that he terrorized, statements from his former co workers and employees that he was difficult to work with and fired, a testimony that he once threw a girl across a room and was fired, he was on academic probation in his AA degree (which he had been attempting to get for 8 years), he failed college Math,.. etc ..etc…
It is like the LinkedIn account from Hell…he isn’t getting any recruiting calls anytime soon…
Basically, there are many reasons he “cannot work”….I would say “security detail” is the least of them…. it shows a severe break from reality in him…
At one time, I sat on the Board for a vocational school whose saying was “A hand up, not a handout.” With GZ purportedly having so many supporters, it appears that not one of them is in business or position to offer GZ a job. He apparently has a computer and can do virtual work. His supporters prefer giving him a handout in increments of $10 and $20 rather than a hand up so he can earn a living.
Xena: “His supporters prefer giving him a handout in increments of $10 and $20 rather than a hand up so he can earn a living.”
From what I have read on squirrel treehouse, his supporters don’t seem educated enough to afford any more to give him and I suspect they aren’t in a position to offer him a job. I would bet a lot of them are working in fast food flipping burgers, just from the mentality displayed in their posts.
On the other hand, where is Sean Hannity and his connections to help Chorge with work at home IF that is what Chorge wants. ShelLIE too could use something to occupy her time and add to the income.
See, that’s the thing. GZ’s supporters do not appear to be diverse.
Or Glenn Beck, or Rush Limpballs. With all of their dog whistles, they apparently don’t want to be associated with the White Supremacists that devised the thugification of Trayvon Martin.
Yeah! Shellie could be doing her cosmetology thing from the living room. Nah… Why work when dummies just SEND you money?
Sent from my iPod
I know where she can work and use her cosmetoglist license where:
Nobody will recognize her.
They people don’t talk.
The people will never complain about how bad of a job she’s done.
Can be done at night.
A funeral home.
LOL@blushedbrown. Unless the deceased is Muslim, in which case the body is washed and wrapped. Nah! After those bandaids she put on GZ’s head and between his eyes, she wouldn’t qualify.
LOL
blushed – that may sound morbid, but i have actually considered it. after i became disabled, i went through re-training to be a makeup artist. mostly, i just do volunteer work at my local cancer center along with my hair stylist. she does wigs and as a survivor myself who has learned to create brows and lashes out of nothing, it’s something that is very important to me. i can only work for short periods of time and the funeral home would certainly be a quiet place to work. we’ve all seen some hideous jobs on departed loved ones done by unskilled hands and it’s just something i feel i could do as a loving act of service to those in grief.
@fauxmccoy
I don’t think is morbid. Someone has to do it. I rather have someone, like you do my makeup when I’m dead, then someone who will make me look like a 2 bit hooker from downtown. It takes alot of time and patience to make up a person who is deceased look like they did in life. It is quite an intimate thing to do. I think you would do extremely well.
license to practice no longer valid for either cosmetology or esthetician (i’m a nosy one and checked that early on under both her married and maiden name).
Good hound dog work fauxmccoy! Something is wrong with people in their 20’s who cannot continue in careers they chose and who neither work in anything!
i also checked for all pertinent medical licenses she would need in order to be studying online to be a nurse (in my mind only an RN is a ‘nurse’). she holds none. to summarize, she could only be studying for the lowest rung on the ladder, a nurse aid. she obviously was no where near to completion and did not put in any of the necessary ‘hands on’ supervised practicum time. she was years away from attaining an RN license.
this is why i have stated repeatedly that
GZ is to law enforcement as SZ is to nurse
a match made in heaven or an alternate universe, your choice.
have you seen her skills with an eyebrow pencil or eye liner? who in their right mind would pay for that??? it was part of her curriculum to become an esthetician (license no longer active). one can only imagine her exceptional ‘nursing’ skills
grey winter sky: regarding unemployment comp, in most (probably all) states the applicant must be available for work and actively seeking work in order to qualify. The killer would have to actually go out into the world and apply for jobs (accompanied by his bodyguard !?!) as well as periodically visiting the unemployment office. He probably has too much money coming in to qualify for either welfare or foodstamps. Shellie might qualify if she obtained a legal separation from her husband or filed for divorce. Otherwise she’s SOL. (Lawyers, please correct me if I’m wrong.)
LMAO
She wasn’t attending school and he was kicked out.
So much for that bogus argument.
Indeed! Additionally, removing his GPS and giving him freedom to travel in Florida does not restore conditions of employment and school.
Well Miss Xena, if that ankle bracelet is taken off, Fogen can get a job as a foot model. When slippers and shoes are advertised on TV, they want somebody’s feet and shins to show in those beautiful shoes. Fogen could have job opportunities.
Also, if the conditions of his bail are modified so he does not have to wear an ankle bracelet, he can simply go where the jobs are. Such as Peru, Saudi Arabia, or Ouagadougou. See?
@Malisha:
LMAO! You stoopid!! Foot model? Would you want those big fat feet modeling any shoes? These days he cannot bend down to even see his shoes!
Sure. Right. There’s a job waiting for him in Nevernever land too. Too bad Peter Pan hasn’t worked out for him though.
Tzar,
I bet they regret having had Judge Lester removed. It would appear Judge Nelson isn’t having any of their nonsense 😉
“I sure do miss that ole lad, t’was a good man, he was!”
overheard in O’mara’s Chambers
I agree that he does but I feel the appellate court was sick of Omara’s and the defendant’s crap so they stuck in Nelson, who is quick fast and to the point
Lester was good because he was hilarious when he was talking smack to the defendant
LOL at Potted Palm
Out of the frying pan and into the fire is not a brilliant strategy.
I don’t think Judge Lester would be any easier on O’Mara than Judge Nelson. He clearly saw through Chorge’s BS and lies I am sure he would see through O’Mara’s at this point.
What Did I once hear the professor say about the devil you know the the devil you don’t know hmmmm.
ROFLMAO!
Tzar…….Tooooo funny…..Ya think..maybe..that was in the note that GZ wrote? 🙂
STOOOP! FLAT____LINED!! LMBBAO!
Quoted above:
“I think I’ve posted before that since Trayvon was a minor his parents would probably be legally responsible for compensating George for his medical expenses and pain and suffering (IANAL). It wouldn’t go over well with the public if George tried nor do I think he would. Bigger fish to fry.”
Interesting.
There was a case I think from Texas where a man lay down on the railroad tracks to protest something or other and the train engineer deliberately rolled over him and severed both legs. The man lived and the train engineer sued him for intentional infliction of emotional distress in forcing him to run him over. I don’t remember the resolution of the case; that was many years back. But the principel is even more bizarre in the case of Trayvon Martin. Not only does it presume that Fogen had rightful and lawful absolute authority over Trayvon and Trayvon deliberately refused to obey a lawful order, but it then presumes that any fool action Fogen chose to take about the terrible disobedience was Trayvon’s fault.
That’s pretty close to the Dred Scott decision: “A Black man has no rights…”
what medical bills?
being honest
all he did was place knuckle bandages on his head and he refused medical treatment for obvious reasons (he had nothing there)
and then go to his family doctor and all he/she said was maybe this maybe that, I dont know
altogether that is $40
Let us see the bill that was racked up because of the defendant Fogenhats!!!
Autopsy
Burial
Wrecked Clothing
DNA testing
Ballistics Testing
Forensic Trace Testing
Cell Phone Testing
Fogenhats gun testing
Fogenhats investigation
Emotional Distress and fear from all the people in the complex because of the defendant’s action
I could list more, but sure, we can pay the defendant his $40, but once we are done with the list, the defendant should pay all the bills racked up because of him and his family
Their reasoning makes no sense. Even if (and I am just saying if – not at all that I believe it) what GZ did was self-defense, he can’t ask Trayvon’s family to pay for his “damages,” Trayvon already paid. He paid with his life. The very idea that GZ should sue the family for his pain and suffering is unconscionable. Once again, he is not taking responsibility for his actions. Even if he HAD to do it, that is HIS price to pay.
It goes with their selfish attitude and their “better than thou” type attitude
It is not enough that he took a kid’s life
Now he wants even more
You can bet his lawsuit will be used against him at trial to show how depraved he is
The prosecution has to prove BARD that the defendant acted with a depraved mind when he killed Trayvon Martin.
The legal issue is not whether depravity is his signature character trait, Whether he is the poster child for depravity is not relevant and evidence of depraved behavior as a character trait or as independent bad-act evidence will not be admissible at the trial to prove that he acted with a depraved mind when he murdered Trayvon.
Would not his after the murder actions showcase a depraved mind? His after murder actions, such as the lawsuit, to me, show he disregards the human life of Trayvon Martin
@Jm:
Depraved mind? I truly think that GZ has some cognitive deficits/learning disabilitiy? Six years in Community College? There is something not right about him. His lack of emotion, those cold eyes, his inability to feel someone’s else’s pain? There is something not right with him. Most criminals have had some abuse in their backgrounds. I don’t know what transpired with him, but he is one sick twisted puppy!
Question for Prof. Fred. Why would Omara focus on Tracy’s initial response to hearing the screams on the tape? It’s not evidence, so it seems to me that he is using it to manipulate. But how stupid can that be once this case goes to trial?
He is trying to win his case in the court of public opinion where he can claim that the evidence is anything that he wants it to be and he can tell us what his client would say without his client having to testify or be cross examined. He does this knowing that the prosecution cannot retaliate, except on rare occasions like today when BDLR went on a righteous rant.
O’Mara is all about manipulating public opinion before trial because he has no defense.
Professor: “O’Mara is all about manipulating public opinion before trial because he has no defense.”
So how do you feel O’Mara is doing in his goal to manipulate public opinion and do you believe O’Mara thinks public opinion can change the outcome for Chorge?
What I mean to say is why does O’Mara bother. IF he is intelligent he should know public opinion can’t change evidence against his client.
His defense appears to steer away from the evidence. He pretends he is giving evidence, like the person monitoring GZ, but that has nothing to do with the evidence of why GZ is being monitored to begin with. But if you are looking at this over here, you won’t see that over there.
Yep, smoke and mirrors all the time.
I was wondering why O’Mara and West did not make any objection to De la Rionda’s statements. Would they be allowed to, or is that only at trial?
In other words, did they play their hand as well as they could?
There was no basis for an objection. BDLR was arguing in response to their argument in support of their motion.
Professor I think that he is right and wrong at the same time. If I’m not mistaken I think I hear GZ yelled out or help after I hear the terrifying screams it’s as if he said something ( I don’t know what then yells help) the two sound really different to me. One person screaming terrified and another talking then as if a lightbulb turned on in his head ie. someone got to be hearing this so I’m going to yell to, but it’s not a constant yell I heard it for sure once. I think this guy is very calculating, I think he decided at some point to yell out for help along with Trayvon. I maybe wrong but I hear him talking, I hear Travyon screaming and I hear GZ yell help. Trayvon screams never stop Until the gun is fired. GZ yell and speech pauses throughout.
Tee wrote
One person screaming terrified and another talking then as if a lightbulb turned on in his head ie. someone got to be hearing this so I’m going to yell too.
YES AND YES
IMO
I dont feel he said NO, as in it is not his son
It was likely a “No, No” as in a disbelief that something horrible happened to his son
Besides, there are numerous on scene witnesses, who have no connection to either party, so their testimony is objective, have attributed the screaming to the kid, or, at least to the person screaming for help was the one who was shot
Witness 8 & 18 pinpoint the defendant as the aggressor
and there is recording of the audio
so
It is a moot point and the defendant is doomed
@ Tee
I heard that other scream too, I felt it was mocking trayvon. It was weird, like Buffalo Bill mocking that girl he was holding in the hole.
He didn’t even go through his stages of grief! These people are unbelievable
Now just a minute, Rachael: The question does have an answer and I think we’re responsible to ANSWER it.
QUESTION: “At what point are the Martins going to be liable for the behavior of their child?”
ANSWER: In 1862 or earlier.
I think the proper question is
“When will the people at the Conservative Tinfoil Hat will be held responsible and liable for their behavior?”
& the answer is…
Fairly soon, they are being investigated LMAO
Those simpletons do not realize that proxies will not hide them and the internet is forever LMAO
Do you know for a fact they are being investigated?
I read on Natalie Jackson’s twitter that all their cyberstalking, threats, harassment, have been cataloged and turned over to proper authorities, especially in regards to Deedee
Hallelujah!!
Well that is good to know!
Get him, LLMPapa. Gethimgethimgethim. Get George Zimmerman. 🙂
I believe Omara may have had wind of some police descent. Remember when sis Z said P Diddy was talking sh** about him? He replied, “After all I’ve done for them” I believed that was code for police department. The lower ranks of PD may be throwing some higher up under the bus!
I hope that Serino has the keys to the ignition and is in the driver’s seat. It’s good that he hired Baez.
Once again, a most splendid video.

Okay, I have to go before I say something that will get me thrown off of here. OMG. These are NOT people. They have no souls. They…ughhh bye.
You have probably read my comments where I say all the time that I lack patience with ignorance. MEDICAL EXPENSES? What medical expenses? The Zidiots think that GZ had medical expenses? GZ didn’t go to the hospital and ShelLIE probably didn’t pay for those big band aids she put on GZ’s head and nose either.
Dang – forgot about the knuckle bandages. Heck, I’ll send her a box.
You just gave me an idea. I love to write satire…
You’re an excellent writer. I say go for it, and don’t forget to share it with us.

There are no intelligent and empathetic life forms commenting at that site.
They are aliens and cannot be compared to any life form that I know. Only their hate sustains them.
Ignore them, unless you can laugh at them.
Do not give them power over you.
You are right, of course. Thanks.
good advice, professor. i took a look at the treehouse for the first time today, just to laugh at how their disposition changed as o’mara’s motions were denied. their denial is laugh worthy indeed.
It is hard to laugh at them. I actually get nauseous when I go to the squirrel house.
I don’t even waste my time reading over there after stumbling upon it once I wanted to crawl throw the wires into the invisible word of the intranet & slap every fool that posted that racist crap. I then practice what I teach my kids, and that is “you can only control yourself, if someone is saying or doing something you don’t like control the situation by removing yourself,” and that’s what I did I stopped reading over there.
Good advice.
Whoah!
There is no wisdom in hating, even the hating of haters. The Treepers are not aliens. They are all too human. It not so much that they lack intelligence altogether as that they wear intellectual blinders. They are, above all else, afraid. Capitalism has pulled out the rug from under many of them, but it too much of leap for them to even imagine challenging the powerful, so they project their fears onto the powerless Other. As Mr. Obama said, they cling to guns and god in the face of bleak horizons. I won’t go into a lengthy discourse on ideology theory (though I’ll name drop Eagleton, Althusser, Lukacs, Adorno and ol’ Chuck himself for the curious), but you really can’t put all the blame on the proletariat for their delusions.
For all but a few of the truly crazy Storm Front types, the bile they spew on the web is not the totality of their lives. For many of them, their Internet personas and obsessions are their own little special and often secret worlds, hidden from families and friends. They have no empathy for the Martins, but they are loving spouses and parents, loyal friends, honest citizens… It is sad, really, that have made a personality disorder wack job like Foegnboat their avatar.
Yes, their hateful words and thoughts should be ignored, or mocked, and no one should concede any power or authority to them at all. But despite the drivel they drool, they are human beings, and most of them are not beyond redemption. True, few if any will ever be redeemed. But we DO give their hatred a power it does not deserve by concluding there is no possibility of change.
And though I am an atheist, I shall quote the carpenter (at least I think it was him…) “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” And, in reply, I’ll quote a different Zimmerman, “It ain’t me, babe.” I do not have the moral authority to cast anyone to hell…. OK, maybe Dick Armey or Wayne Lapierre, or the guy who commented on my first YouTube vid that “the porch monkey should of stayed on his porch.” But not the garden variety schlubs who just obsesses over the fact Tracy Martin supposedly said the screams on the 911 call weren’t his son, or thinks Trayvon’s phone wasn’t Trayvons phone etc. etc. etc.
They are people, not THAT different from any of us. That is both the horror of it all, and the small seed of hope amidst the madness.

Sorry whonoze – I disagree you. I believe hate speech should be eradicated. I believe people should be held accountable for their actions. I believe that it is not our responsibility to try and understand their primitive behaviours.
They should be CALLED OUT. Let their friends and families find out exactly what is going on with someone they only think they know. Then, and only then, will those uninformed family members and friends have the ability to get that individual help – much-needed help.
Grahase- agree 100%. Too much “sympathy” and people don’t honor nor recognize social boundaries. Accountability is a moral value I teach (and model) to my students.

I have not spent much time here lately, nor there. But I looked at comments from both sites tonight and see that those who question the prevailing view at either site can subjected to, hmmm, ridicule? It seem to me to be a mob mentality on both sites with ridiculing those who don’t agree to be an ok thing. Professor, you’ve requested the high ground here. That’s a good thing, but it’s been really easy to slip off it.
I learned stuff there that I didn’t know. There is stuff here that they don’t know. It’s too bad that the spiteful stuff gets in the way of sharing. You don’t change hearts and minds by hurting others by making fun of them.
A set mind tends to miss stuff it should find out.

(Perhaps I’m revealing my age here.)
Not at all. I assume you discovered this outstanding bit of literature when perusing books in your mother’s or grandmother’s library. : )
I suppose the next step will be a Motion to Recuse.
I wouldn’t put it pass MOM to attempt to remove Judge Nelson before the SYG/Immunity hearing. I remember him stating before in regards to removing Judge Lester, that he would not be doing his client any justice by not submitting the request or something to that affect. Given the account of events in the past weeks, I have a feeling he might at least attempt to remove Judge Nelson so he could get the next Judge who have been reviewed as a very soft judge.
He might just be down on his two knees begging for Lester back, as the case progresses. That man in NY (subway pushing) is claiming self-defense in his second-degree murder case, and he is being held without bail.
Judge Nelson denied this motion without comment, so I doubt a motion to recuse will go anywhere this time.
@Crane-Station:
How are you doing BTW? As a NYC resident, that mentally disturbed man who is claiming self defense will lose. To many subway strapers saw him arguing with that man, and then he pushed him down onto the tracks. He could have walked up the steps and out of the subway or reported whatever that man was allegedly doing to the subway clerk. He didn’t want to. He was a crazy fool and he should get what he deserves!
Oh, dear, what an awful story that was. But, if the man was truly in the grips of a mental illness (say, for example a psychotic break), he could have a mitigating factor. I don’t know that case at all, but it was just awful to read about.
I am doing okay, thank you!
“He might just be down on his two knees begging for Lester back”
LOL! I agree.
That’s true – here is an interesting site. I first looked at the part about how to recuse a judge, then this:
http://caught.net/prose/trialbad.htm
Some examples:
“judge’s excessive questions and sarcastic comments did not amount to “extreme overstepping of his proper judicial role”–conviction affirmed) Mostella, 802 F.2d at 362
“finding trial judge’s impatience with defense, displays of irritation, and use of sarcasm, while inappropriate, were not prejudicial” Poland, 659 F.2d at 894
“trial judge’s caustic, sarcastic comments and offensive conduct, although perhaps inconsistent with institutional standards of federal courts, did not violate due process” Gayle v. Scully, 779 F.2d at 807
Trial judge’s skeptical attitude toward defendant’s testimony, and his reinforcement of identification evidence by government witnesses, “approached but did not cross the line that permits [a ruling] that the Constitution has been violated” Daye, 712 F.2d at 1572
Federal court rules regarding recusal are much tougher to meet than the rule in Florida. It’s an apples-to-oranges thing. No comparison.
Federal judges are the kings and queens of their domain, which is the courtroom.
He or she who is stupid enough to piss off a federal judge is as doomed as doomed can be.
Filing a motion to recuse is an invitation to have your head severed from your shoulders.
The type of behavior you mention is not uncommon in the federal courts.
The judges also protect their own.
Thanks Rachael!
Judge Nelson just denied frivolous motions. There is NO jurisdiction in which a judge can be recused for denying a motion. Even a VALID motion; even a damn-near undeniable motion. Florida’s not going to advertise to the world that their appellate courts are full of fools and crumpets; believe me, this will not result in a recusal. Although, judging on O’Mara’s recent history, he may make an emergency motion to recuse her because to refuse to recuse her would damage his client’s reputation. Or the like. Maybe he’ll be waving around color pictures of the Judge’s nose at the oral argument!
The less you say, the more powerful you are. I been saying all along that Omara is pulling the same tactics and they have not changed, including what he writes in the motions. Nelson has not said much, and in that, there is not much for the defense to go on. Besides, in this hearing, they finally got to the issue of the defense being fraudulent in their presentations and that will be brought up if Omara tries that motion. Omara went all over the media so they have lots to use against him.
GZ doesn’t want LLMPapa doing another video of him trying to fold paper the correct way, so he bought himself a folder.
@Xena,
Did anybody notice how O’mara kept saying Yes Mam. Yes Mam. Yes Mam. Yes Mam.
Sound familar?
He’s rubbing off on the man, geeeezzz
There might be a large overlap between people impressed by that kind of superficial politeness and people who are scared of teenagers in hoodies.
brilliant intimation
Ma’am? Would she not be “Your Honor”
Either one is acceptable.
O’mara using yes Ma’am over and over was too much like GZ for me. JMO
Instructions for pro se litigants written by legal aid sources instruct them to always address the judge as “Your honor” or “judge.” That is how I always heard attorneys address the court but it might be different in other jurisdictions.
Your Honor is the proper way to address a judge, but I’ve seen lawyers use ma’am in the South, where it is commonly used as a formal way to address a woman in a position of authority.
Now, now, you two! : D
BDLR said today that two black was kill,an it went to a grand jury an trail an the defeant won his selfdefense claim. where can i find this case at, the grand jury indicted him an he still got aquitted,i like to know more about that case.
Here is my attempt to demonstrate how “the Wagner photo” distorts GZ’s facial geometry:
http://imgur.com/a/9Lfth
It is just that simple my friend
we are on the same page look at the 4th square
I can’t help it. I love Halloween and Cinema Secrets makeup, and one year my son and I were playing with fake blood…anyway, that photo reminds me of Halloween, because if you compare the sally port picture with the cop car photo, it looks like Cinema Secrets..
I think the head was cut out and placed in. You can see it if you look closely, because there are no proper shadows associated within the picture
What I hadn’t noticed before is the right (cam left) nostril. It’s a total mismatch with the police station photos. And since it’s displacement is in the opposite direction from the displacement of the nose of the bridge, it simply impossible for the two together to be the result of a camera angle or lighting, or IMHO anything but an editing of the photo.
Yup, I noticed that, I supposed it was secondary to them enlarging the nose after masking it off
Wagner and Serino will have to explain that one too
Moreso Wagner because he was the one who gave it to Serino. Serino just got the photo 3 weeks later, that is it.
Skeptic here. A straight line down the center works with a straight on picture but not when the photo is at an angle. The head is ovate and when you turn it one way or the other you need to use an arc to mark the middle.
http://www.how-to-draw-and-paint.com/how-to-draw-faces.html
This is one example. The angle of the Wagner’s photo isn’t at all extreme but enough that an arc vs a straight line can make a difference.
The photo definitely has problems.but the straight line comparison doesn’t do it. An arc might show it but I’m not sure.
Look again.
Arcing the line would only increase the deviation of the nose bridge from it.
The deviation of the right (cam left) nostril line is revealed not so much by comparison to the ‘midline’ as by by comparison to the “mock” photo of another person in the ‘Wagnerian’ pose.
A Tug Boats job is igsignificant it is small with a powerfull engine built not for ocean or deep sea travell.Its one purpose is to tow magnificent ocean liners to big to manuvere safely close to shore in confined ports.Thus the comparriison is apt,Tugboat is a small ingsifnicant man dragging in his wake the huge presance of Trayvon an the movement thats coaleced around his Parents .An likeminded people around the world whom abhor the huge problems of raceism/ignorence/intolerance/An another huge issue of gun control.I M O Nothing to do with a citizen of Americas right to bear arms.Thats in there laws an its allowed..No its wether someone of the charecter of the acussed should be allowed to own a gun.And be allowed to carry said weapon consealed every where he went except work..An I suppose thats only besause he wasnt allowed by law to have a weapon at work …With twenty twenty hind sight looking back at this guys history its easy to see he was a walking bomb waiting to explode.Scary thing is is he is far from uniqe …Let him continue in his delussion all the way to that cell door slammin on his arse,We all know he is the small gog in a big wheel turning .I feel its turning in the right direction an in years to come gz will be little more than a footnote in the appendix of history.But Trayvon his Parents an the events surrounding there fight for justice will loom large…………
Amen.
This has a clip of Jr. and O’Mara. Some of the things they said just made me laugh out loud, some make me want to say duh and some just have me shaking my head. Too much to comment on.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/trayvon-martin/os-george-zimmerman-gps-hearing-20121211,0,2988038.story
Okay, but first let me get out my hip boots.
Maybe hip boots will work for you, but I’m only 4’9″ so I need neck boots.
Oh my, what was that movie with Jamie Fox where the girl wrapped the other guy up in plastic wrap? LOL!!
I think my son still has a gas mask from his military days. Let me see if I can find it too.
some other vid is there
It’s still there for me.
Is RZ Jr. from Mars – poor Tugboat can’t get any exercise with that thing on his ankle – LOLOLOL!
Doesn’t seem like the defense will want to play the “let’s have police testify for us” game. Now they have a memo which Serino and others recommend a 2nd degree murder charge. That is the complete opposite of what the defense claims regarding the police deciding whether or not to charge the defendant.
Santiago’s depo didn’t go well for O’Mara either. Here, O’Mara thought that the meetings were to discuss whether or not to charge GZ, to find out they were task delegation and that Santiago had not seen GZ’s re-enactment video.
This couldn’t have been a surprise since it was in his motion. He should have seen how weak it was.
did u read where carter cussed at santisgo when he was first revealing to santiago that charges had been filed, he said something like, “we’ve been fucked in our ass or they fucked us in the ass” did anybody ready that part? I thought it was very telling.
Xena, where are those depos available for reading, please?
I didn’t know they’re available.
Thank you!
It’s only the depo with Santiago. Pages 1- 44 were not released. . I don’t remember now where I obtained it. Once I do obtain documents related to the case, I upload them to a Yahoo group so they are all in one place. However, Yahoo only allows documents under a certain size, in which case I email them from my personal email account to members of the group.
It’s http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blackbutterfly768/
It’s a private group, so once a request for membership is received, it has to be approved.
The complete depo is on GZlegalcase.com. These comments Carter made to Santiago where during OMar 2nd re direct. You have to read it. It seems noone has read the entire thing. The SPD is in some very deap shit.
@Erica. I read what was released, and it started with pg 45 but I read from there to the end.
For those of you who missed it, I just embedded a news clip of the hearing at the beginning of this post.
Thank you very much!
so, suffice to say gz is not getting much on his christmas list to santa… one can only surmise that he has not been a good boy this year.
LMAO
I think I figured out where he photoshopped the nose from
Look at the link, the pic of him in a blue shirt and a sport jacket… its that nose LOL
holy crap, I think you are right
wait…no they have certain stark differences
lol
Jun I think you are right that is exactly what it looks like.
following. Welcome back Professor, I see you got a nice little welcome back party by Judge Nelson, lol
According to GZ’s astrologer chart, starting in October was his time to come to grip with reality. Today was such a day for him. His reality is:
1. He is charged with 2nd degree murder and the charge is not going to be dismissed. He is an accused murderer.
2. The State and Judge Nelson are not allowing O’Mara and West to litigate the merits in the case in motions. That is for the immunity hearing and/or trial.
3. The law, rules, and orders of the court apply to him, and are not being bent neither circumvented by the filing of motions regurgitating the same arguments.
4. His media and internet presence has caused him more harm than good.
I noticed, no matter what Omara asks for, whether it was to recuse the Lester or anything else
it is
1) Use witness 6’s recanted statements
2) Wave photoshopped bloody photos
3) Claim someone will identify the screamer as the defendant
4) There is loads of evidence of innocence
5) Then asks for what he wants
IMO, O’Mara does not represent GZ in court but rather, engages in a selling GZ’s purported innocence in hope of getting more people to send in money.
O’Mara is getting thick around the waist too — too much stress.
That’s a very apt description and not at all in Fogen’s best interests, which I have been sayin’ all along.
When O’Mara continued the legal defense fund, he obligated himself to stockholders .
Ver nicely put.
Another trick that Omara plays is to dupe either the state or the judge to divulge into the evidence before the actual trial and SYG hearing if asked for
He did it to Lester
And tried it with the state numerous times
Then he did it to Lester again and then used the same formula for his appellate court motion
Now he tried it the past few weeks LOL
He’d be less stressed if he would do actual work and not listen to the Tinfoil Hat cult and the Fogenhat’s family
Also why is West so slow?
The guy had to get explained to for the same thing like 5 times sometimes
Don’t worry about the identity of the screams any more.
Apparently, thanks to the 7-11 visit, there are exemplars of both Fogan’s voice and of Trayvon Martin’s voice. This makes a plot for a TV forensics show. 😀
I don’t understand why this guy GZ needs a bullet proof vest & a bodyguard. He is not living in reality, a bodyguard really he’s just plum crazy & he really overestimates his importance.
Personally until I see some proof of continued threats(would love how thats happening since no one who would knows where he is)I am gonna continue to assume its a ploy for money.
It is all an act. There is no need for anyone to get at the defendant as the State of Florida and the Federal Government is already doing it for everyone LMAO
In fact, he could get prosecuted twice and due to dual sovereign doctrine, the defendant can not do anything about it and could very well get 2 life sentences without parole LMAO
Yeah. That’s true, but let the bodyguards make some money — deplete GZ’s legal defense fund faster. (Hehehehe)
Can’t help but wonder how the racial bigots sending GZ money feel about him having a Black bodyguard that he pays with their money.
They probably like it – makes him (the bodyguard) thugworthy you know – in a way a white bodyguard could not be. And it gives GZ ammunition to say he isn’t racist. Maybe he will start quoting Martin Luther King Jr., just like Jr. did because that proves it, you know.
Too funny! but so true…
IC. Racial prejudicial profiling. (hehehehe)
That will work as well as asking a drowning man if he wants to be saved when the only person to save him is someone he hates.
IMO, Junior is merely repeating words. He has no idea of their true meaning. It’s like a preacher standing before the congregation and saying, “Today’s sermon is taken from John 3:16,” reads the verse, then sits down. Where’s the sermon? MLK PREACHED. His words that are quoted by Junior are absent the spirit.
Junior’s a strange character
That guy should never quote MLK because it makes me cringe due to him abusing his quotes
IMO, Junior is a Jim Jones. He will quote MLK and anyone else if he believes it manipulates others to do what he wants. The same people listening to Junior are opposed to the Civil Rights Movement. Hypocrites.
And just like BDLR said, he walks in the front doors of the courthouse with media right behind. I watched him do it today on TV. He is NOT in fear for his life. I didn’t even see his bodyguard in the clip either.
I think he might need a bullet proof vest if he were acquitted, actually, but he won’t need one at all while he’s still on trial. Everybody who might be afraid of him AFTER an acquittal (and who therefore might need to use deadly force because of their fear of him) is not afraid of him now that he’s unarmed.
Remember, Fogen would not have gotten out of his schtruck if he didn’t have a loaded gun with him.
I think there are real threats. There may very well be a gang that would use killing him as some sort of initiation or for additional street cred. I’m sure it’s been discussed. Let’s hope there is some rational person who can point out that the state is taking care of business. They may want him to fry but getting the defendant in jail would be a good thing.
I disagree. I do not believe that he is in any danger at all and he’s just playing this charade in an effort to garner sympathy and money.
I also do not believe the family is living incognito as vagabonds moving from one motel to another to avoid discovery.
I think that story is even more absurd than his.
Professor: “I also do not believe the family is living incognito as vagabonds moving from one motel to another to avoid discovery.”
OMG I heard MOM say this on his In Session interview, that the parents were moving from home to hotel to hotel to hotel with Chorge’s elderly grandmother who has Alzheimer’s.
All I could think of is why are they in a hotel that they need to keep switching and why hasn’t MOM secured a rental property for them.
I can’t imagine them traveling with an ill 88-year-old Alzheimer’s victim and checking into hotel after hotel after hotel. Are they being kicked out?
It was one of MOM’s more preposterous lies trying to get sympathy and $$$$.
Sorry if this breaks the rules but I have to say it. They are all full of BS.
The bullet-proof vest is kind of silly when you consider the fact that one shot to the back of his neck would paralyze him for life and one shot to the back of his head could kill him outright. He must think that only really poor shots are out to kill him and that they are limited to shooting him in the chest as he shot Martin.
We might have to curtail our more harsh word for the accused an his zteam.Nothing said about not being able to gloat.An bask in the comfort of knowing his day of reckoning cometh…His lawer had to know one hundred percent that the ankle moniter would remain in place..So he was simply trying to squeeze sympathy an dollars out of the few deluded plp that backhim.The grouchomarx photo an this pointless motion was a ploy for cash..In this season of goodwill to all men please remember the defendant .An give supportt theve prevented him from travelling .Even though he is the most hated man in the world an is holed up in a converted nuclear bunker for his own protection..They have stoppped him from visiting all his freinds like the middle eastern guy he used to work with he an george used have so much fun.An all of the African children an youths in the neighbourhood each an every one of them he knew even with his adhd an bad memory.An he cant mentor those black kids whom releid on george to mentor them every sunday night just before he went to TARGET an bought grocerys an then went out an TARGETED a black kid an forced to shoot him to protect his own life If Trayvon had inflicted any more scrapes on his head.He would have died at the hands of Shellie smothered alive in tampons an bag ass butterlfly plasters he would have needed a straw to breathe.Remember he is the victim in all this an those kids he mentored they are innocent .They should also be victimised an made to miss ther zimmertime..An his onlly freinds the ostermans he cant even visit them as they are wittness in his upcomeing crusifixion. And they kinnda wrote a book that we dont realy aprove of as it contains yet more versions of what my client swears is the truth about that night..An its got to be true as his story changes every time he tells it.Id be worried if it remained constant…Even the few knuckle heads whom supported this idiot wont dig into there pockets thats it done deal its over man..Expect the deffendant to file for indingcy Febury if not before………….
The legal team plays Tugboat supporters like a harp.
Like a person with 6 hands playing piano. They got the idea from GZ’s description of Trayvon having 6 hands. If it worked for him for more than a month, why shouldn’t it work for them? LOL!
“Zimmertime” LOL
Heh!
OMG, you paint a hilarious picture
If he could not travel, they asked clarification about contact with witnesses. I would bet the defence would have played up the fact that the poor, deprived killer would be unable to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. So sad. The judge didn’t bite. The defence strategy for Christmas funds for Thugboat didn’t work. But, he just wanted to wander about Florida to buy gifts to put under the tree. Now, he can only buy on-line and will only have the ability to call his loved ones rather than join them at the table. Sad, so sad. Please, send more money. Christmas is just around the corner.
He can still travel beteen 6 AM until 6 PM in Seminol County can’t he ?
He has to get approval from the court to travel to lawyer appointments, etc. prior to him leaving the house. He has to tell them how long he will be gone, etc..
I think Chorge wanted to celebrate the holidays in Disney World which is not in Seminole County. Bummer huh 🙂
Space Mountain
The picture posted at the Treestump of GZ and – his bodyguard? – is priceless ~
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2012/12/11/tugboat-hearing-9am-discussion-thread/#more-54022
LMAO the bodyguard or whoever that is, looks like he wants to ring the defendant’s neck LMAO
I’m still laughing!
Love it. Bodyguard looks very unhappy to be a token black security person for Chorge.
More like he’s just waiting for George to try and rabbit.
“More like he’s just waiting for George to try and rabbit.”
Chorge is looking weasely. Maybe this guy isn’t a bodyguard but a rep of the court or bondsman.
I’m surprised this picture is up on Squirrel House site. They usually put skinny Chorge in over-sized suit pictures to depict their hero.
That was my second thought. I really wouldn’t put it past GZ to try and run GPS or no GPS is he gets desperate enough.
The heat is on GZ. In his interview with Jean on In Session, O’Mara spoke of a DOJ investigation on GZ violating Trayvon’s civil rights. He said something to the effect of it being an “enhancement” of the law. That’s not based on publicity concerning Lonnie’s petition. I have it from a source now that there is such an investigation.
Sounds like he’s talking about a hate crime violation.
O’Mara said “civil rights.” I’m trying to find a transcript or video of the interview now.
LMAO I am fairly sure that certain black bodyguard has been stalked by the defendant and been accused of being up to no good and walking around lookin about for no reason whatsoever
A job is a job. Someone has got to do it.
omg – gz is even heavier than the last hearing – hard to imagine given the demise of hostess brand snack cakes. 😛
I noticed that too. I swear he’s back at or over the weight he was in his old mug shot photo that was released in the early days.
Two sides………LMBO……I can’t believe it! Oh those wiley waskels at the Tweehouse will come up with all kinds of excuses why things didn’t go as they expected for their hewo……. If anyone wants a good look, and laugh, at the epitome of ignorance….read and compare the comments that were posted BEFORE and AFTER the hearing……too funny….in a pathetic sort of way……. 😆
I know. It is very entertaining.
‘ll just take your word for it
PC/FF
PS: the movement is growing look at this article title
http://news.yahoo.com/trayvon-martin-murder-suspect-wants-gps-monitor-removed-130454441.html
Yahoo comments is where the White Supremacists hangout. You should read comments posted to the Press Release article regarding Lonnie’s petition. The WS proved by their comments that they believe GZ committed a racial hate crime, and even people who are White they assume are Black and call them racists.
Oh that picture is worth a thousand words. The first 500 of them say, “Hello this is Cheorge here, and I have a chest, and I can make faces, look mommy!” and the other 500 say, “Yeah I’m with him; I get paid for this.”
:}
For those who missed the hearing like myself https://www.youtube.com/user/stateoftheinternet
Oh an the motion will be heard at next hearing next year.Wasnt heard today because wasnt filled in a timely matter…..Bad day all round for the accused an his zteam from what I am reading ..Can ah get a high FIVE………………
^5 + a fist pound
Pound cake/French fries
Pound cake/French fries
I think fogen was texting these guys during judge Nelson’s recess at first I thought he was taking a little nap then he started the smirking laugh then caught himself — texting in court????
Maybe llmpapa can catch that on a video?
I believe he was
I figured he was reading Twitter comments. At one point during the hearing on the motion to modify release, Judge Nelson switched her eyes from Bernie over to GZ. Then the camera switched to him too, and he was either texting or reading. That is certainly a way of appearing disrespectful to the court.
yep, caught that too.
Judge Nelson didn’t change her facial expression, but she had a sort of piercing, Scorpio stare. It’s not good to be a defendant with your motion before the court being argued, and busy yourself doing anything other than paying attention.
**daps**

What happened to the motion to seal Chorge’s text messages and e-mails? Does anyone think it will be denied
…Missed the hearing today….But given Floridas Sunshine Lawa we will be reading all the defendants hatefull emails txts rantings from any journals or diarys seized…Both before the murder if deemed pertinent.An definately all from after he pulled the trigger to snuff out Trayvons life.The ultimate theif in the night steals a Childs life an last screams begging for mercy an his Mother…And turns around smirking that he derserved to die???….We will get to read them no matter how damageing or encriminateing to the accused..M O M tried to pull the same argument before the kissing Cousins interveiws were released to the public saying that it would be damageing to his clients rep ya de da da da da .We wondered what did he mean an then we read.Her comments of raceism as standard practice in there family plus the accused was molestering her from her aged 7 an he 8 I I RC…An then we all understood why he wanted it remained under seal..But it wasnt an neither will the txts emails journals ect..m o o.
I hope you are right
i had thought that Lester and the state agreed that they would be sealed but now I am not sure what is going on
How can anybody damage O’Mara’s client’s reputation?
While Schwartzenegger was governor of California they passed a law that said if you got a disability finding in, say, 1997 or something, then after that, if you got hit by a truck or something, and you were totally disabled, they would only count it as “partial” because you had already BEEN partially disabled. So they parceled a human being up to make them ability/disability packets so they could avoid large judgments if anybody, say, dumped someone in a wheelchair off a bridge or something.
Very callous law, etc. A friend of mine had an injury when she was young and later, because of this law, when she really got hurt she could only apply for a partial disability. I’m just saying this (don’t know too much about the case-law following the passage of that law in California) as background.
Since NBC destroyed the reputation of a perfectly wonderful decent American, and since Sharpton’s racism destroyed the credibility of a perfectly wonderful decent American, HOW MUCH DAMAGE COULD A FEW TEXT MESSAGES DO NOW? He was already the most hated man in America. Those text messages could say he wanted to torture puppies to death in front of kindergarten classes while masturbating and it wouldn’t damage his reputation. By definition!
That is true
He is already a child stalker and kilelr
then we found out allegations of a cousin he molested for a decade and attempted rape on
and then we heard all the other stories
The defendant in the Trayvon Martin Murder case is incapable of further defamation
It is impossible to slander him
Actually, he is an alleged ………. and presumed innocent. If he is found not guilty, his reputation has been irreparably besmirched.
Again though, besmirched by his own habit of TALKING TOO MUCH. Nobody else to blame but the idiot in the mirror and his big mouth.
Sent from my iPod
For child stalking and being a killer of that child, it is beyond dispute that that is what he did
I would not say there are any allegations there
Good on Judge Nelson!
Who does this punk think he is? He murders a kid in cold blood, steals the child’s screams as his own and then asks the court to take off his GPS tracking so he can roam around the state selling his autograph for money!
Burn in hell, George Zimmerman!
LMAO she denied it like it was nothing and then moved on so fast LMAO
WTF at Omara with the photoshopped pictures and that Trayvon is 6 foot 2 & 170 pounds
Okay now I know the defendant was online spreading that rumor
ha ha ha
that was my favorite part
“motion denied. Where are we ordering lunch today?”
that was sweet
It was like listening to the lid of a box slam shut.
I like the fact that she is fast and to the point. Lester was good too, but he always tried to be poetic when denying things or whatever decision he made.
I’m in California. I didn’t tune in in time for the hearing, but I did listen to the interviews and commentary for a while.
In my opinion, Judge Nelson would have to be either really stupid or really on GZ’s side to grant the motion to remove the GPS tracking device.
To this day I still have not watched Tracy or Sybrina speak on TV. I plain can’t handle it. The indignity of having to campaign and plead with a country to exact the rule of law on behalf of their son, all the while having to suffer through his daily defamation and vilification with no immediate recourse, had been just too much for me to bear.
They have had to show patience that I don’t even dare imagine I could achieve. No matter what happens, I know two things, Trayvon Martin was lawful and minding his own business the night he was killed and I…we can never give the Martins back their beautiful child and that breaks my…our heart(s). And that is why you sometimes…often even will find me…us here or there discussing this case. It is not simply because I…we hate Mr. Zimmerman-May his name be forgotten- it is because of love. Love for the little guy, the underdog, because I…we have been the little guy. It is because of the love of fairness. It is because of the love of hope for society which means a love of children because therein lies the hope of society; If they must watch coldness and callousness prevail, what hope do we have that a society will prevail that is warm and caring? If they must watch slyness and chicanery prevail, what hope do we have that a society will prevail that is earnest and genuine?
So no Mr. Zimmerman-may your name be forgotten- it is not simply that that you are the, self titled, “most hated man in America”, it is that love and compassion are most loved in America and, going by the range of protests to your release by SPD, the world.
I feel you, thank you for your heartfelt post.
Well said.
Good post, Tzar!
That was really deep! That really touch me.
Beautiful!
Really nice, and so true. Thank you.
Great post Tzar!! Thank you
Thanks for saying that. I’ve never thought of it like that. and you’re so right!!!!!!!!!!!OXOX
@Tzar, I’m with you all the way on your comment. I cannot believe that we live in a country with such people as those who can support the *MURDERER* of a child. this is suppose to be the best country in the world but, the rest of the world is watching this case and, I’ll be willing to bet that they would disagree. I’m sorry but, I’m starting to wonder if it is the best myself. I mean how could it be when we have people who support what Zimmerman did. the right to bear arms does not give a grown man, (if you can call him that) the right to go out and follow a child and then kill him. the very same can be said of Dunn, even though he didn’t follow anyone, he still opened fire in an occupied vehicle and killed Jordan Davis. so much for the greatest country in the world, right.

When O’Mara said that GZ’s wife’s case would be decided by another judge, my mouth fell. He doesn’t know that Judge Nelson presides in Shellie’s case too?
I didn’t catch that one either. I need to go watch Trent’s video’s because I missed alot of things. Thanks for letting us know he uploaded them already.
ha ha ha ha
this guy!!!!!
There is a sort of polish that he lacks
O’Mara sounded as though he wanted to blame ShelLIE for GZ not being honest with the court. He wanted to divert Judge Nelson’s attention to the perjury about the money and away from GZ’s misrepresentation about his passport.
Omara and the defendant are throwing Shellie under the bus. LMAO if she was watching, she probably will do a plea bargain and give info on the defendant because of that LOL
I thought just after he said that he said something kind of under his breath acknowledging she would be the one.
He did.
It was kinda like and “oops :)” moment.
It’s difficult to keep unimportant things like that straight. She is, after all only his client’s wife/s
LOL
Hope someone posts a link to the hearing.
Oops did I post in the wrong place? @Xena, he acknowledged it would be her right after he daid that but it was sort of under his breath.
BDLR said you could hear two voices in the 911 calls,are there more 911 calls we have not heard yet.
I would have to say yes, because several people called 911 that night and I only remember hearing only two of them.
Yes there are, I heard the reporter say this very thing that there are more 911 calls that the public had yet to hear.
I remember there being at least 6 calls released, back at the beginning, when the Mayor or City Manger (can’t remember which one) released them. IIRC – The Martins were about to or just had filed a suit to be able to hear them and they were all released and were up on the SPD’s website. It was at that time that Ms. Fulton heard the screams for help, and ran from the room sobbing. If you remember the articles about that incident, that was when all the calls were up at the same time.
My personal recollection is only of two calls. The one with the screams and the one from Austin’s home. I’m sure I’ve probably blocked out the others simply from being overloaded with such disturbing information.
Here’s the complete list with links:
http://axiomamnesia.com/2012/03/16/trayvon-martin-911-calls-audio/
OMG i never heard that story of Sybrina hearing them. I cannot imagine! poor thing. just horrible. so bad.
but yeah, Ben Crump had to sue them (SPD) to release the 911 tapes. and i haven’t heard most of them for the same reason.
I remember reading Sybrina ran from the room when she heard the screams. I can’t imagine the horror she felt. And now she has to hear the person who took her child’s life has now stolen his screams. It’s just too much!
There was a session where the mayor was there with Sybrina and Crump and the mayor cried with Sybrina and then became extremely disappointed in Chief Lee. The mayor then contacted Scott and then Scott assigned Corey to serve justice and all of the SPD and other officials were to assist in any way needed by Corey and her team.
Trent Sawyer has posted the hearings in several videos on his stateoftheinternet channel.
how about a link. I can’t find it
@bettykath, the thing about youtube is that the links embed the videos. If you go to Youtube, enter “stateoftheinternet” in the search box.
Here’s part One… The rest will be posted next to or after the video
Speaking of Videos, wonder what LLMPapa is up to?
He’s probably out dancin’ gangnam style.

ahh, thanks. i was exhausted and over slept. i have watched them all live up until today, but am glad they are available. thanks again.
Not a law professional and have only followed 2 cases, Chorge Zimmerman and previously Casey Anthony.
I would love to know if tactics used by MOM are typical of a defense attorney? By that I mean telling half-truths, omitting the whole story in his motions, cherry-picking what he presents, and misstating things like Trayvon’s height and weight that should be well-known to MOM from autopsy reports, flashing the “injured Chorge picture, etc. Isn’t that trying to mislead the judge and an insult to her intelligence, in hopes she will believe half a story and his misrepresentations?
Is there a point a defense attorney can cross in his presentation in court and be held accountable.
It’s sleazy and improper. The judge and the prosecutor know it, but I don’t think anything will be done about it because lawyers basically have immunity for stuff they do and say in court.
The judge can use her contempt powers, if she gets angry enough.
I don’t believe she is likely to do that because she would be taking a position on the evidence by doing so and courting the same kind of trouble that Judge Lester got into.
I was getting kind of the feeling that Omara wrote the motions to try to bait the judge like he did with Lester because he used the same modus operandi, of enticing the issue by stating the weight of the evidence and how it shows his client is innocent… then he complains about this and that, and then flat out lies about the kid being 6 foot 2 & 170 or so pounds pummeling and it has already been stated that is what trial is for
I said as much the very first hearing seeing how rude both he and west were to the judge (interrupting her, arguing with her)
I do expect she’ll keep a tighter rein on defense shenanigans during trial – certainly, at least, whenever the jury is in the courtroom.
What was that all about?
My naive interpretation would have been the same as Judge Nelson’s. Was there legitimate doubt about that?
This motion did not even allow them to push any narrative that they hadn’t covered with the other motions. Could they benefit from a clarification in any less obvious way like getting a clarification that is not exactly identical to the conditions in the second bond order?
Regarding the “voice identification” issue, it was nice to hear BDLR say quietly today: “Actually, there might be TWO voices on there.” Or something like that.
There actually ARE two voices heard outside on the 911 call that has the cries for help. I was shocked when someone pointed that out on this blog. So I tinkered with the recording on some audio software, and even I could hear it! (I don’t hear much in one ear.) It was so distressful listening to an angry male voice interrogating the terrified teen on death’s doorstep that I had to stop listening.
Now if little ol’ I could tease that out to make it more audible, just imagine what the prosecutors’ experts and/or NBC could do with it …!
Groans- I asked on the other thread, but I see you put here as well…what was the angry male saying? Could you make out words?
I hear GZ’s voice in the background of that recording but can’t make out any word he says other than the “f” word. It is clearly heard just after Jeremy comes back in and tells his wife to tell the cops to hurry up. It has been reported that the FBI has the tape of that call to enhance.
I heard “f@ck” in a quieter deeper voice and the intonation suggested that it was a descriptor not an exclamation, as in “shut the f@ck up”. But I didn’t the words around “f@ck”.
I expect the prosecution has been able to determine what those words were.
I couldn’t make out the words, either. But some of them had the upward inflection of a question – like questions that ended in “HUH???” or “WHAT???” (with an upwards inflection).
@ChrisNYLaurie:
Actually, you can hear GZ in the background along with John. It sounds to me like GZ is interrogating TM because TM is screaming, “I don’t know! I don’t know em! I’m begging you!” Then I hear the F word! I hope to God the FBI can enhance this tape so we can make out the words. At least clearly as to what TM is saying, even though we clearly hear him begging for his life! This man needs to be exposed for the liar that he is! He has held the world hostage for the last few months! Him and his Attorney! He is the only defendant in the last few years who has whined and complained!
Deborah G-M…..That’s exactly what I heard too! (I had on a set of headphones that fit over my ears.) It took forever to download that call on my computer but, I will NEVER FORGET those screams and that poor, innocent, terrorized kid begging for his life……. Everytime I am in a store and see a package of Skittles, I hear that voice begging for his life. How does GZ not hear it? He has no conscience, no soul……GZ is nothing but complete narcississtic evil.
At the 3 second mark you can definately hear “Get off”
Thank you, OperaCarla!
1. To hear the second (adult male, “interrogating”) voice, the key may be to:
(A) Use headphones;
(B) Close your eyes before you hit the Play button; and,
(C) Listen BEFORE any conversation starts – before the operator says anything.
2. I hear the younger voice (from outside) scream “GET OFF ME!” at around 3 seconds, too.
2. Also, at 00:34 Jeremy hurriedly tells the caller, “They need to call in a car.” It sounds to me as if he might have SEEN the killer aiming a gun at Trayvon, because the gunshot follows shortly after that. Then you can hear Jeremy saying “Oh my God” a couple of times, and other stuff.
3. And then – at 1:30 – shortly AFTER the gunshot, Jeremy says something (pretty fuzzy) that sounds like, maybe, “He warned me he was a carrier.” (??)
Every time I listen to that boy’s screams and think of Zimmerman-may his name be forgotten- and his attorney repeatedly claiming that it is the killer’s voice, I simply want to do things to both of them that would only land me in prison. Shake my damn head at these so & so’s.
And every time I listen I am convinced he had help restraining the boy, because Trayvon sounds like he is in physical pain and with one hand holding the gun I can’t imagine he managed to inflict that kind of pain with just the other.
@Tzar,
Trayvon screamed in both fear and pain. If you are going to subdue another adult-sized person by being in the mounted position, you must be concerned about your victim’s legs and arms – particularly the arms, which can create all kinds of problems for you.
Therefore, the strategy is to kneel on your victim’s arms. Zimmerman weighed in at 207 lbs. that night at the police station. Can you imagine the agony for Trayvon with that weight pinpointed on his lanky arms? Get a friend to try that: kneeling on your arms. You can’t stand it for more than a second, nor can you escape.
Zimmerman was not sitting back with his butt on Trayvon. He was kneeling on Trayvon, kneeling forward on Trayvon’s arms, to draw his gun from its holster (using his right hand) while he held Trayvon’s shirts in a grasp with his left hand – the dominant hand.
All his weight, then, would be loaded on Trayvon’s arms, through Zimmerman’s kneecaps – and kneecaps aren’t padded.
Although the data has not been released, FDLE requested analysis of “fiber” along with blood. I don’t know what other data they will look for. We saw in photos the grass on the front tips of Zimmerman’s boots – from kneeling on Trayvon. But I can bet they are not going to find grass stains on the knees of Zimmerman’s jeans. You don’t get grass stains from kneeling on a kid.
You get screams.
Unless you silence them.
right at 00:36/37 after Trayvon howls someone says in a very authoritative manner, “KEEP STILL!”.
link please….
or direct me to the audio clip you are listening to
the above video I am responding to
okie dokie, got it !
Yes, near the beginning, it was easy to hear Trayvon screaming, “Get off! Get off!” And I also heard the voice saying “Be still”, although that was not very distinct.
@P.Mom
My girlfriend believes as you do. It is a possibility, I just think that a spry and adrenalized 17 yo would be difficult to single-handedly compromise that way.
groans and PiranhaMom together have nailed this. That horrible man shot the teenager because he was getting out from under him.
Fiber analysis will find denim on the arms of Trayvon’s hoody and hoody fibers on the knees of the denim pants. Trayvon struggled to get out from under that evil horrible man and nearly succeeded. That’s why that horrible man grabbed the hoody and sweatshirt together and pulled on them as he shot. And that’s how a drop of blood from that horrible man’s nose fell onto the inner sweatshirt– the struggle had made Trayvon’s hoody ride up enough to expose it.
And I agree with groans: at 1:30 in the call I hear Jeremy say “He warned me he’s a carrier.”
you wrote:

WOW! I heard that too , but did not understand the context of it, until right now. Thank you.
That witness has alot of explaining to do.
What is that supposed to mean, do you think?
AIDS?
That would be yet another new low for the defendant!
Was it a warning that he is a carrier of a gun and intended to use it?
Sorry I can’t interpret even that he said he was a carrier. Are there are improved/enhanced versions of what I listened to.
Gun carrier. Permit carrier. Stupidity carrier. All if the above.
Sent from my iPod
@Xena, let’s just hope they don’t come back and say the same thing they said about not being able to hear in reference to him saying F’ing COONS. he said it and, you don’t really need them to say for sure what he said because, it is plain as day that those were his words. this is also why the defense wants his text and email messages sealed because, they know the messages are filled with racist rants. these should not be kept from the public because, this thing killed an innocent child in cold blood and, I feel that he should be outed instead of being able to hide who he really is. he is a murder defendant who killed an AA kid and now he is wanting to hide things that he wrote to others like him. once again, they want to find out from Trayvon’s school records if there were things in there that they could use to make him look bad in the public eye. they are now going after the pin number to his cell phone while at the same time, *they want to hide things that could prove to the world, who the real George Zimmerman is.* here’s hoping Judge Nelson will not allow this. the state didn’t have the chance to cherry pick what the defense could see in the school records and, the same should should apply to the defense in this instance.
if you listen closely at the :40 second mark, you’ll hear GZ yell “HELP” almost like he’s imitating Trayvon’s scream… I’m willing to bet if someone analyze the last scream for help it’s GZ’s and all the other screams are TRAYVON MARTINS… SMDH I hated typing this comment because the Zimmernuts will throw it in the spin cycle and try to use it against Trayon.. Listen closely at the last scream at the 30 second mark just before the gunshot, then listen closely to the two screams before that on opracarla’s video and let me know what you guys think…
The last “help” that I hear is faint and cut short by the gunshot. IMO, the faintness is due to a change of physical position away from where the 911 caller was. Before that, and just before the cry that sounds like pain, there is a second of so where the screams stop and that is when GZ’s voice is again heard cursing at Trayvon.
GZ had a Freudian slip in his re-enactment where he says “He put my hand over his mouth — his hand over my mouth…” IMO, GZ put his hand over Trayvon’s mouth and as Trayvon managed to get himself out of that, he spat out a cry and thus, the reason for the saliva on Trayvon’s mouth in his photo shown to Tracy.
It would be better if you could get a unredacted copy of the phone call because I do hear a second voice too
I hear someone saying something while a kid is screaming but what the defendant says is not clear
i also believe that the defendant howled at the screaming kid, while threatening him before shooting the kid while the kid screamed for help
My prediction: it will be shown that the killer tells Trayvon to “Keep Still” or “Keep him still” to someone not Trayvon just before Trayvon is shot.
You could be right, but no witness we know about has described more than two people present when he fired the fatal shot.
There remains the mystery of the person in a white shirt and the 8-year-old who supposedly saw everything.
@Tzar –
Any idea what “Jeremy” is saying when he says, “He warned me to … ”
I seem to be hearing something like “chaircho” with emphasis on the first syllable. What could Zimmerman be warning Jeremy against doing? To keep his mouth shut?
I think the neighbors don’t want to snitch on one of their own. I think it is John.
@ JQ I believe those of us who claimed to be able to hear it, myself included, came to a consensus of “he warned me to stay away” or “he warned me off”.
@Tzar, please can someone tell me why this POS isn’t having his murder charged bumped up to first degree premeditated? also, this guy Jeremy *AND* his wife both know more than they are telling. Zimmerman should be locked up for the rest of his *miserable* life and, I hope he will also see Trayvon face as well as hear his screams for help for the rest of his days.
I sense that Him and John know more than they are telling and one of them may be covering their own involvement
@Tzar:
Trent Sawyer, did a video in regard to John and his wife knowiing more than they are saying. Check it out on Youtube! GZ was the one who was knociking on their back door, but he had to go around to the front, since they do not use their back door. As for the frivolous lawsuit? GZ is a true socio-path! What he won/’t do for a buck and free publicity! He envisions himself on a stage and every one is watching him! The most hated man in America? Why should he have that distinction? He is not the most hated man in America! PUHLEESE? Some people on my job, don’t even know who he is and don’t give a Sh$% about him! They do not follow this case!
It’s Jeremy and his wife Jenna, who is on the HOA Board.
I’ve read about this but haven’t heard it (Fogen’s voice). Oh my. How terrible. I’m not trying to demonize him. I believe he’s evil.
He is what he his and that is, the spawn of *SATAN* himself! you can’t demonize someone who is already a *DEMON*!
You know what would be a funny skit?
Santa and the defendant in this case LMAO
LOL, or…
O’Mara doing Gangnam.

What about the Re-Re-Motion to Compel Crump’s recording device?
I didn’t hear anything about it today, but I tuned in a few minutes late. Any mention of that one?
I think they got the message to not bring it up, because it has been ruled so many times
I believe that motion is moot because Crump turned over his recording device to the FDLE.
The defense are still playing games about the recording device
They wrote a reply back to the state, saying it is not moot yet and they want a chain of custody for the recording device and a copy from it, yet again
My prediction:
West will file a motion for a clarification on the clarification on the clarification.
🙂
Yes, I know, but they didn’t take it up today, and it really is moot.
What happened to the motion to seal Chorge’s text messages and e-mails? Does anyone think it will be denied?
Plus they wanted to know if there is another recording of the interview, a better recording, and if anybody else that was present recorded it too. Judge Nelson told them to ask Crump when the depose him.
@ChrisNY~laurie
I think the reasoning for all demands for the 1st recording and recorder and everyone elses copy is that they the defense team, does not want ABC coming out with their own unedited and or crystal clear recording besides the one that was used. And beat the defense team to the punch, If ABC broadcasts a more complete recording then what they have, it kinda gut punches them.
I believe all news stations wait for the optimal blow if get my meaning. Just like when Madonna pose nude in Playboy when she was young. Then the pictures didn’t come out till she was on her way to stardom. Same thing with Vanessa Williams.
JM,
Just curious. Why do you refer to Mr. Zimmerman as Chorge? Or, for that matter, Cheorge?
I understand that you’re not the only one, probably didn’t originate it, and am not pointing any fingers. I’m just hoping to understand.
I use the name “Chorge” because another poster was pointing out the funny way GZ pronounced certain words on NEN call and I thought it did indeed sound like he was saying Chorge. Since some would prefer not to mention GZ’s given name on this blog, I refer to him as Chorge in my posts. I am not sure exactly who started it, but it wasn’t me. I’m not that clever.
@ boar_d_laze, they are saying his name with a stereotypical Hispanic accent. IMO, it kind of borders on being racist, but I also understand why some don’t wish to use his given name as per Trayvon Martin Case: Banishing Zimmerman’s Name
http://frederickleatherman.com/2012/11/28/trayvon-martin-case-banishing-zimmermans-name/
“they are saying his name with a stereotypical Hispanic accent. IMO, it kind of borders on being racist.”
I didn’t realize this was stereotypical Hispanic. I thought it was just the way GZ pronounced his name on NEN call, just like he says he was at the kalubhouse and he was in his schruck.
Sorry if I sounded racist. Just trying to comply with not using GZ’s given name but close enough so newer posters would know who I was talking about.
The name that I thought up, which i found funny was
Zimmernuts Fogenhats the 3rd
But I call him Fogenhats for short
or if I feel like talking like a pro legal person, the defendant or accused
=)
could not reply directly to boar d laze – am glad to see you back in the saddle again.
There is no “chain of custody” for Crump’s recording device because it is not evidence of a crime.
OOh Malisha…You are absolutely right. He gave it FDLE, so that’s it. No chain of custody.
@blushedbrown- So, do you think that they want to have it for it’s monetary value? Shameless leaches.
Here’s what I found from a LA Times article:
“… Nelson allowed the defense to re-depose police investigator William Erwin, who the defense says was present when police played a 911 audio for Trayvon Martin’s father.
“Prosecutors also will have to turn over to the defense the original recording of Benjamin Crump’s interview of a girl identified as Martin’s girlfriend. Crump is one of the attorneys for the Martin family.”
Source: http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-court-george-zimmerman-gps-monitoring-20121211,0,7615459.story
Maybe this article is referring to the LAST hearing, rather than today’s hearing?
I should have said “this quote” rather than “this article.” (SMH)
No, it was this hearing. It was scheduled for 9am, but apparently it started earlier. I turned it on at 9am, and they were already at the point regarding Crump’s interview and ABC, and I’ve read elsewhere that even before that she discussed which motions she was going to hear today and which she was holding over to the next hearing.
I didn’t realize that. I was tuned into the Channel 13 livestream feed but that turned out to be a deadstream. Quite a show.
Then Crane found it on a Jacksonville station. So I tuned in late.
Thank you, Nefertari!
I was fairly close in my guess =)
She also denied it slickly and left nothing for Omara to try and spin LMAO
The prosecutor gave GZ & his team bit of their own medicine today didnt he. Ha ha!
I have to agree with you on that.
Professor,
Could you please clear up some discussion in the other thread, referring to “Brady” that was mentioned in the hearing in regards to Serino. I think I have that right. I’ll go back and check who posted it, if that helps.
Brady material is any evidence in the prosecution’s custody, possession or control that exculpates the defendant. The emails or memos that BDLR mentioned are not exculpatory to the defendant, but they are exculpatory as to Serino.
I believe BDLR mentioned them to refute O’Mara’s claim that the brass did not want to charge the defendant with a crime and he was careful to point out that Baez called them exculpatory, so he was turning them over to the defense. Rather emphatic put down that took the defense and the defendant by surprise. Probably, the judge too.
@Prof
So it beehooves O’mara to shut his mouth about the brass not wanting charges, because BAEZ, has other evidence saying otherwise. Possibly more. I now understand. Thank you.
Yes, you got it.
This kind of move is called firing a shot across the bow.
I think it got their attention.
What a shot it was. I hope that this puts some people minds at ease regarding Bernie’s abilities at rest. From the very begining of court hearings, people thought he wasn’t aggressive enough. I have said this before on older threads, and the previous thread that Bernie has alot of passion. He’s just saving it for the right time. He comes across to me as a skilled strategist. He gives the other side all the rope they want, then hangs em with it.
Sweeeeeeeeet
Is this an indication that the feds are coming down the road?
No, I don’t believe we can assume that.
Hovering is a better word.
Omara was flat out lying because even in the depositions, there was no mention of them saying that they did not want charges or they should not charge, they all stated that they either felt there was not enough and some felt there was enough to move forward, and they were discussing the case and what to do…
This is wonderful news!
My mind could be changed in the blink of an eye regarding Serino.
Do the right thing Detective for, using YOUR words, “a kid with a future with folks that care.”
Do the right thing.
Amen to that, brother.
Amen!
I really liked that he did that, MOM was not expecting hat one. Also it gave the defense a lil bit of there own medicine by stating what Serino stated twice in his report, for everyone to hear.I loved it.
Personally, I believe the way Baez gave De la Rhonda the exculpatory evidence was Serino’s way of saying “Aye, I’m on y’all TEAM”….. low key…
So the prosecution doesn’t have to turn over stuff that’s against the defendant, just the stuff that might show him not guilty.
I need to pay more attention to my punctuation. That last was really a question. That would explain why some stuff hasn’t been released?
There’s plenty of stuff that has been released, but O’Mara doesn’t know where the State is going with it, such as the clubhouse and M&I Bank videos; the lab report on the bullet holes in Trayvon’s shirts, and the lab report on debris.
Rather than finding experts in effort to see how the State might use that evidence, he’s concentrating on photos of boo-boo’s that weren’t serious enough to leave permanent scaring on GZ’s face and head — you know, those purported life-threatening injuries.
@ BlushedBrown says:I hope that this puts some people minds at ease regarding Bernie’s abilities at rest. From the very beginning of court hearings, people thought he wasn’t aggressive enough
—————–
Very good point. I agree with you. I tend to be pretty loyal and defensive of BDLR & Corey regardless of what i see them do! Maybe because i really really really want them to be successful and i’m unconsciously ignoring anything negative…IDK but you’re totally right about BDLR’s passion. and i still think Corey is too.
The other day i watched her presser (agian) when she announced the 2nd Degree Murder charges and she seems damn convincing in her conviction in this case.
Yeah, to me it’s kinda strange in that she’s so smiley and sweet, ya know? but whatever floats her boat i guess…
BTW, i forgot to tell you, the other day i posted a video from you on my page!!
Oh thank you Shannon!
As soon as I get another break from the kitchen, I will hop on over!
I feel the same way when I read about some posters criticizing the prosecution. There are many instances where I believe that we don’t always know what’s going on behind the scenes, why the prosecution is choosing not to use info that we believe they have or should be using. I think they could be saving what they have for a more opportune time or that they don’t always want to reveal HOW they are going to use evidence or information they have. This is why there will be a trial where more will be revealed and possibly catch someone off guard, maybe leading a witness to the point where they trip up on what was a previously well-rehearsed testimony, either implicating themselves or the defendant in a way not previously considered by any of us prior to the trial. We are not privy to some of the behind the scenes info although we get far more info than I think we sometimes should because of our laws regarding transparency. Yesterday’s bombshells appeared, IMO, to more than likely impact the defense’s response to the prosecution’s oral argument regarding a change in status for the defendant’s ability to be released from his home monitoring by the Seminole Co. Sheriff’s Dept. O’Mara was definitely more subdued than I would have expected him to be had it not been for the revelations regarding Serino’s initial thoughts on charging GZ.
BDLR hit it out of the park with his oral argument. I’m really looking forward to the trial and seeing him take apart GZ’s many inconsistent statements.
You wrote:

O’mara’s mistake was thinking that he is the only one with a voice.
Granted, Bernie can not go on interviews and talk to press like O’mara. It beehooves Bernie to be quiet and not talk to the media.
But there is a place where Bernie can talk to his hearts content, and that is at court. That’s where O’mara made a very bad mistake.
Bernie CAN and will prolly keep doing that from now on is speak up in court. That he CAN do. Not only can he clarfiy things and get it on record, but be passionate about it and call O’mara on his bullshit.
And the media can report EVEYTHING Bernie said, without Bernie going on TV like O’mara. :smiles:
me too! i can’t wait to see what we can’t see! but the little we just learned is very encouraging! it’s sure is worrying Omar and GZ enough to incite thier desperate grasps at the straws ( even if those straws aren’t even real!) LOL
But i still think we should give the prosecution our collective trust and not assume they are purposely sabotaging this case for some conspiracy against the dead boy or some political purpose. I think that’s just insane really.. some times it really is exactly what it is! some people are too paranoid ya know!!
@Shannon
I posted a very long comment on the Bond hearing Post you put up, forgive me, I got carried away. Feel free to correct any typos. 🙂
you can post ANYTHING you want over there!! as a matter of fact i think it’s a great place for ALL of us to go and post ANYTHING we want when we start to lose our tempers!! we can cuss and kick and stomp up and down all we want and it won’t irritate Professor! LOL right 🙂
