    Great news. I entered my name in the lottery to attend the trial tomorrow. Well, they called me back! She said I am not to use my iPad or iPhone, so will try to take good notes.

    • willisnewton says:

      please tell us where GZ is LOOKING all the time if you can see that.

      On camera, we see him making eyes in various directions but never can connect that with whether he looks at the jurors or the judge or that seal that reminds him of pizza.

      Also, please have lunch with BDLR and make him watch whonoze’s video. :/

      • diary73 says:

        Lol, Willis. I doubt if anyone will let me near BDLR.

        • Lonnie Starr says:

          Foggen was looking at the jurors, to see how the performances he has been doing for them, have been working. What he forgets about is that he has unguarded moments when his true self shines through. He doesn’t realize that is what is putting the jurors off.

    • My Forehead Tho says:

      That’s wonderful news. I’m really looking forward to reading your comments tomorrow. 🙂

    Off topic…but this made me tear up…

    http://blackamericaweb.com/142401/trayvon-martin-was-one-of-the-few-guys-who-didnt-tease-rachel-jeantel-rod-vereen/

    “Vereen recounted a prior interview with Jeantel where she explained their bond, “she said he was one of the few guys that never made fun of me, about the way I dressed, about the way I talked, about my hair, about my complexion… about my weight.”

    Bless you Trayvon!

  3. willisnewton says:

    A good day for the prosecution but a bad day for the space time continuim theory proponents.

    Still unclear if the prosecution “gets” that Zimmerman chased trayvon with his car before chasing him on foot. Osteman himself spoke to this idea and Bernie seemingly let it pass un-highlighted.

    He seems to let a lot of things that could be favorable to his case fly by the jury when a question or two would really score points with the jury.

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      Like how they spent all of.tbis time saying Zimmerman was bigger than Martin and MMA trained only to give the smaller Martin the ability to knock Zimmerman on his ass with one punch. Im absolutely LIVID.

    • riisey007 says:

      Attorney Darren Kavinoky is highly pissed about prosecution he said prosecution is like a boxer taking a dive. He thinks the interview with Hannity should have been played later so that Zimmerman would have to answer why he said what he said in the interview. The after dark how is awesome. The recreated community and just them recreating all of the events of the day is wonderful. The fake jury asks some really good questions. There was a red headed juror who said as dark as it was, how could Martin see the gun? true! another juror actually took part in the reenactment as Zimmerman, he layed on the grass with his head on the concrete the other male juror straddled him and he placed his hand over the guy playing Zimmermans mouth and took his other hand and placed it over his nose.

      The question came up, what as Zimmerman doing with his hands? Martin was only 158 lbs!! Now the big thing for me was when the entire fake jury voted NO!! Martin never touched the gun. The guy who played Zimmerman was asked why he voted no, he said because Martin was right handed and the gun was on Zimmermans right side, he said Martin would have had to reach over as a right handed person for the gun but not only that he felt that the way that Martin straddled Zimmerman and with all that Zimmerman says Martin was doing there is no way that Martin would have taken the time nor even think he had a gun. Martin supposedly was banging Zimmermans head, covering his nose, mouth and reaching with his third hand for a gun. Bull crap.

      I will be glad when Zimmerman is found guilty so that he can tell on Osterman and Taafe. These people are very curious to me.Why is it that they are so apt to clear George. Zimmerman seemed to be frustrated with Osterman even speaking. Something in the milk ain’t clean. If they did not put Zimmerman up to killing Martin I can bet you that Zimmerman knows that those 2 are opportunist who are using his arrest for money. Taafe is getting paid for all of his interviews and Osterman is writing books. Where is that 1 black friend and those black kids Zimmerman mentored?

      • Lynn says:

        I’ve been waiting for someone to actually get on the ground properly. Now we just have to get that into the courtroom.

  4. tashatexas77048 says:

    Since I’m so dumb let me allow you internet geniuses to school me.
    I concede that Dr. Rao was effective in hammering home the point that Zimmerman’s injuries were insignificant BUT A JURY COULD SEE THAT TOO.

    So since I’m supposedly a rock headed fool TELL ME WHAT GOOD CAME FROM HER SAYING MARTIN HAD PUNCHED ZIMMERMAN AND BANGED HIS HEAD ON CONCRETE???

    Their own witness, Rachel endured two days on the stand insisting her friend said get off and didn’t attack. Doesn’t this diminish her testimony? WOULDN’T A TAKEDOWN MOVE BY ZIMMERMAN BETTER ACCOUNT FOR ZIMMERMAN’S INJURY AND MARTIN’S WORDS?

    • disappointed says:

      tasha- Trayvon had every right to defend himself. A man followed him by car and then chased him on foot. She did not say he slammed his head she is saying it is cons. with bumping head on side walk. He could have bumped it with they were wrestling. The prosecutors are not going to ignore the injuries. BUT keep in mind Trayvon had the RIGHT to defend himself from a man who followed and chase him!

      • tashatexas77048 says:

        I understand that but she can’t say Martin caused Zimmerman’s nose to bleed.with a punch yet Martin had no blood on his hands. And they dont have to explain how, only.that what Zimmerman said is IMPOSSIBLE.

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      She testified beyond the scope of her knowledge having never visited.the scene yet she could tell what kind of concrete impression would be on Zimmerman’s head from a video? And I still want to know how the right handed Martin caused injury to the left side of Zimmerman’s nose AND WHERE DID THE TWO PIN PRICKS COME FROM? Did Martin also bend over and bite two pieces of flesh from his nose? To mean the head abrasions can all be explained by a rolling takedown move? Wtf couldn’t she say.that?

      • tashatexas77048 says:

        There was no blood coming from his nostrils any got damn way but ONLY from those two pricks. How could Martin have done.that?????

        • tashatexas77048 says:

          I meant the right side of Zimmerman’s nose. If Martin is.right handed.the blow should connect.with.the left said of Zimmerman’s face. That dumb bitch sat.there and demonstrated a head on fist blow to Zimmerman’s face by Martin. WHAT GOOD CAME FROM.THIS.PURE SPECULATION????And damning SPECULATION at that?

          • tashatexas77048 says:

            Too many.typos to correct…

          • tashatexas77048 says:

            And finally, if you’re hit hard enough for your head to bounce on three sides that’s pretty damned hard lol. Just imagining.this foolishness cracked me up. The prosecution had a WONDERFUL DAY except for pure speculation by Dr. Rao. In fact, her hypothesis is as dumb as Fogens story. But I digress.

          • That’s not necessarily true. Depends on their relative positions.

        • Two sides to a story says:

          Rao’s testimony gives official credibility to the fact that Fogen’s wounds are insignificant and that he didn’t get punched or have his head slammed as many times as he claimed he did.

          The prosecution is exposing his lies and exaggerations step by step.

      • Lynn says:

        You said, “AND WHERE DID THE TWO PIN PRICKS COME FROM?”
        My guess is the recoil caused the rear sight on the gun to scrape the tip of his nose. This is a close-up of the two pronged sight. Coincidence? Nope.
        http://tinyurl.com/kxgjhmz

        I also believe the lumps on the top of his head came from him whacking his own head with the gun. Would cause a slight lump and maybe a small bruise.

        It would also cause a perfect imprint of the gun on his scalp if he held the barrel of the gun and smacked it with his right hand.

        Reference these two pictures. #11 and #26
        http://tinyurl.com/kjakzaf

        The shadow of #26 around the trigger and grip match perfectly with the red imprint on his scalp near the laceration on #11.

        Also, #13 show the pin pricks.

        Who knows? Maybe the punctate is razor bumps from shaving his head. I don’t buy the concrete rash story either.

        • Lynn says:

    • Nellie Nell says:

      Honestly, I think GZ bumped his lumpy head when he tackled Trayvon to the ground which was the “thump” that Rachel heard. Rolling around on the sidewalk and grass could explain the punctate on GZ scalp which is not consistent with slamming of the head. I do not believe that Trayvon ever laid a hand on GZ and only tried to escape, remember Trayvon was not a fighter. He did not fight his own peers so I am sure he would not fight a complete grown stranger that he found creepy. The CAC was following him and Rachel’s suggestion that he could be a rapist. That would scare anyone walking and minding their business but being followed in the dark.

      The nose sound more like recoil from the pistol to me.

      That is just my opinion about his lumpy head and empty head.

    • Tzar says:

      So since I’m supposedly a rock headed fool TELL ME WHAT GOOD CAME FROM HER SAYING MARTIN HAD PUNCHED ZIMMERMAN AND BANGED HIS HEAD ON CONCRETE???

      actually she never said that
      she said Zimmerman’s facial injuries could have come from one punch

  5. Puck says:

    I’m hoping the second of the state’s witnesses the flew in and who will have to stay overnight is someone from T-Mobile to introduce GZ’s texts. Hannity interview: GZ hadn’t heard of SYG; Professor: Oh yes he had; texts back and forth about how to pull off a SYG/self-defense claim. Of course, I’m speculating that the texts are important at all, but there’s a reason the phone records of both Trayvon and GZ were released last week.

  6. disappointed says:

    I know the defense is saying the blood did not come out of fogen’s nose until he stood up. Let me cut thru the bull shit. Whatever. What I do find interesting is the blood runs straight down nose to mouth and lip area. Why isn’t the blood from the nose running down his cheeks, mustache area? The blood near ear came from the back. It is my opinion that nose injury happened near the end of the struggle. Maybe gun went to chest area and Trayvon punched him or maybe gun hit him.
    Please do not recite the bull shit that it went into his throat. I am not an ignorant person so that shit is not flying with my b.s. detector. Thanks in advance. Oh and I really do want answers. 🙂

  7. Leisa says:

    Wanted to say thank you to all you good people. Been very sick and I think I will be meeting Trayvon before any of you. (No sympathy please) if he does not know of all of you he will. I have all of your names and will certainly pass them to him. Can’t wait to meet him and give him a big hug for all here. . Thank you again for being my rock for last several months.

      I just said a little prayer for you and if you do pass, tell Trayvon we love him and we’re doing our best.

      (((hug)))

      All our thoughts go out to you. If you see Trayvon, say hi to my brother as well. He’s the guy in a friendly argument with Trayvon over who’s better, Kobe or Lebron?

    • willisnewton says:

      via con dios. I hope you do meet Trayvon because then you will know you are in Heaven. But I hope it’s later rather than sooner, and on your own terms.

      Can I use a quote from the movie Here On Earth…

      Sam: “I love this spot, it’s like heaven right here on earth, maybe that’s what heaven is, maybe we go through life collecting people and places we love and they become in our heaven and that’s where your mom is, she in her heaven surrounded by everything that she loves… including you.”

  8. Woow! says:

    Heeeheeehee you guys were right about Treeper giving MOM questions to ask witnesses. I just ventured over there to see what they were talking about and Lord behold

    “Dr. Valerie Rao – who the defense was trying to depose, but was unable to locate. From Jacksonville? What friggin’ value other than propaganda is her intent? What’s the backstory on her? How and what is the relationship between Prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda, and Angela Corey, to her. What is their prior association? Prior history? Prior cases?

    What can we find?

    One example: (Hat Tip Tara)”

    MOM should be ashamed of himself. He has a table full of law clerks (interns) to do his research but instead he utilize the services of an uneducated foolish conspiracy theorist.

    • Ms.X says:

      Gosh, I wish the prosecution would try it.

    • Puck says:

      So presenting scientific evidence is propaganda. This sort of thing simply confirms the theoretical model I conceived in my big Tea Party/Obama-era right-wing paper. They’re existing in collective phenomenological ‘reality’ of their delusion.

      • Two sides to a story says:

        Yes they are, Puck. Very, very different mindset. What I find interesting is the occasional liberal or progressive among them – how would you explain that? They don’t line up ideologically on most other issues, but they share the same view of this case no matter how far-fetched it may seem. Closet racists, maybe.

        • Puck says:

          Or perhaps merely people who might have had an unpleasant encounter with a black person they found scary — perhaps a bona fide thug — and have always held on to that as a moment they recall when they see other black people. And this case, in a sense, is the trial of that black thug who scared them that one time. So they put Trayvon on trial, becoming Zimmerman supporters existing in a collective constructed simulacra of ‘reality’ in which they operate. That’s why they just can’t handle the facts, and say things like Dr. Roa’s testimony was “propaganda” and suggesting she a little sumthin going on with Corey and Rick Scott. Now, does this seem like a scenario that would happen in our reality? We’re not operating in their ‘reality.’ Also, consider their consistent rejection of all forms of scientific evidence in this case. Is that not akin to creationism? They construct their own ‘facts’ and re-package it as “intelligent design.” And they teach that as a SCIENCE.

          It’s much like how the Republicans and even the Romney campaign were stunned that Obama won. They really were. Romney didn’t even prepare a concession speech, and I believe him. Republicans were relying on ‘data’ from sites like unskewedpolls.com that completely unscientifically “unskews” legtimate polls. Think of all the pundits who were assured of a Romney slam-dunk? On Fox News, Karl Rove was disputing the results of Ohio even as the state — and the election — had been called for Obama.

    • Nellie Nell says:

      Wow, he is lower than low. I could not understand why he was attacking that women after hello.

  9. Sophia33 says:

    Professor:

    I asked this question at the end of the other thread. When a jury is sequestered in this day and age are they monitored when they use their cell phones? Are their cell phones taken away? Are they only allowed collective TV access? Is someone listening to their phone calls and visits with family? Are computers taken away? How do you truly sequester a jury in this day and age?

  10. Woow! says:

    Did DonWest leave his job as a federal public defender to represent Zimmerman? He left a paying job to work on a pro bono case…….Does that sound right to anyone b/c I do not seeing him leaving a paying job to work for free.

    • Sophia33 says:

      Big case. Book deals. Talk shows. Opportunity to be a talking head. Other big cases coming down the pipe win or lose.

    • Trained Observer says:

      Don’t know that he was federal.

    • Ms.X says:

      That explains a lot! Now you know why so many people hate the public so-called defender. You only take them because you have absolutely no other choice, and you know when you have them you’re going down. Skeletor jumped his boney self out of loserville & onto the gravy train.

    • Nellie Nell says:

      I could have sworn he said he is working for $350 per hour and MOM $450 per hour but he did not understand why the difference. They were banking on the quick loot GZ made with his website. They must have had eyes the size of saucers when they learned about that defense fund raking in that kind of dough.

    • Malisha says:

      No sense of shared sadness. A kid is dead. No sense of normal human sorrow. A kid is dead, hey let’s get ice cream and celebrate. Moral bankrupts!

  11. You all have thoughtful comments says:

    The signatures for Rachael are over 20,000.

    • Woow! says:

      Good b/c I signed a petition last night for Rachel…don’t know which one but I signed it.

    • Valerie says:

      I signed…that nasty West needs to be publicly reprimanded and brought down a notch or two. He should have not listened to the CTH and just did his job in a respectful way for RJs limitations instead of trying to humiliate Rachael for the Treehouse sake. Yes she has her limitations, but she is hurting and I wish I could do more.

  12. sparger says:

    Is it normal to challenge testimony you know about at the trail. Shouldn’t they have moved to suppress this earlier. If I was on the jury I would be ready to strangle all of them.

    • Rachael says:

      The jury likely knows nothing about it. They just know like the judge said, there are some matters they have to take care of.

      • crazy1946 says:

        If MOM/West had not spent more than a year giving press conferences and actually prepared for the trial, they would have known about this evidence! Did you notice West during the conference at the bench digging thru and discovering evidence? He just now realizes that Trayvon was wearing that big button, he wrote down the evidence number from it. I would not allow this team to represent me in a parking ticket case, I would probably receive the death penalty for illegally parking……

        • Ms.X says:

          Yeah, but the prosecution isn’t that much better. Both teams are titans of mediocrity. We’re watching the clash of the titans.

    • KateW says:

      This is why OMara wanted to extend the time for starting trial because he was not prepared, despite having ample time to do so. So perhaps this was his strategy to challenge evidence as it is brought forth.

  13. whonoze says:

    Bill S. notes that all the sidebars are being transcribed by the court reporter, and will be included in the official trial record, but that will not be made public until after the trial.

  14. Trained Observer says:

    Is court to be dismissed until Monday? Or will it be in session on Friday?

    • Trained Observer says:

      If court operates on Fourth of July, that’s a ton of overtime for Seminole County employees.

  15. Sophia33 says:

    I wonder what the talking heads are saying?

  16. Court appears to have recessed until 8:30 tomorrow morning when Judge Nelson will hear additional argument on the defendant’s community college records and two applications for employment as a cop.

  17. YQ says:

    i think it was a good day for the state. i didn’t watch the whole thing but it’s starting to seem like all that evidence is weighing down on the defense.

  18. Sabrina B. says:

    Yay NBC.com did not go out once today.

  19. Judy75201 says:

    What happened? Just got back from attending to work.

    • whonoze says:

      The State brought in their own ME (not from Seminole Cty.) to discuss GZ’s lack of significant injuries. IIRC her term was “inconsequential.” MOM crossed her at great length to try to establish that the marks on GZ’s head could possibly maybe be consistent with his story of multiple blows and head-banging.

      So the defense now can’t say GZ’s life was in danger, but they can still claim he thought his life was in danger. I’d guess the question of whether any such fear would have been “reasonable” per the self-defense standard will be left for closing arguments. Prof. Fred would know better about this, of course.

  20. groans says:

    West should have just stayed in his seat. He looks silly up there fondling evidence and smiling.

  21. Sabrina B. says:

    What is West doing over there by the evidence?

  22. jo says:

    why were we able to hear the arguments about the school records earlier ….

    • Ms.X says:

      The state wants to submit into evidence fogens college transcripts showing that he has taken criminal justice classes where he learned about interrogation techniques & SYG law. They want to present the professor who taught the class in question in which fogen received an A, as well as portions of the textbook pertaining to same. They want to submit fogen’s application to become a police officer in VA in 2009, which was rejected, & his application to ride along with the police in 2011 in Sanford, FL

  23. Woow! says:

    I had to take a conference call. Someone please tell me what I missed.

  24. Two sides to a story says:

    Looks like Fogen’s freedom might be slip-sliding away

  25. DruDo says:

    Fogen is always wiping his nose on his sleeve. Disgusting.

  26. Dave says:

    If Trayvon had grabbed the gun when it was in the killer’s holster it would have been either by the grip (which wouldn’t yield usable prints ) or by the rear of the slide. the only parts of the gun protruding from the holster.

    • pat deadder says:

      Maybe Trayvon tried to grab the barrel thingy or whatever you call it to try to save his life.

  27. crazy1946 says:

    looks like the evil spawn problem will now be addressed?

    • Sophia33 says:

      Is that what this sidebar is about?

      • crazy1946 says:

        Possibly? You might notice that West is no longer participating in the discussion….

        • Sophia33 says:

          Yeah, I just commented on that. He has been kicked from the adult table.

        • Sophia33 says:

          I’m expecting that tomorrow.

          • crazy1946 says:

            I guess we will know soon enough, right? I actually hope I am wrong, West is one of the best assets that the state has for the conviction of the Fogdoit….

    Its weird to think that fogen so wanted to be in this legal element, and now he is the center of attention on the wrong side of the law. I sometimes see such an envious look on his face when he looks at accomplished witnesses. Trayvon death is beyond tragic, but I’d bet more lives would have been ruined if fogen had ever been in a position of power.

    • MichelleO says:

      I think it’s strange that the only criminal that used a gun and killed someone was a member of the so-called neighborhood watch.

  36. YQ says:

    O’mara may have fell into a trap because we know GZ holstered the gun immediately after shooting Trayvon.

    • Sophia33 says:

      At least that is what GZ says.

      • Lonnie Starr says:

        Not quite. He says he holstered it when he saw Ofc Smith. Ofc. Smith arrived 3 minutes after the shot. gz got up after the shot and walked north to the tee, where Jon Manalo met him and took the picture, then they both walked back to the body and that’s when Ofc., Smith came up to them, gz then holstered his gun.

        • lurker says:

          In the walk-thru he says he holstered it before he spread Trayvon’s arms.

          • Lonnie Starr says:

            Yes, in the walk thru he leaves things out, in his effort to make it seem that everything happens right there near the T. But Manolo says he came around the house and saw gz walking towards him on the north walkway. It was there that Jon took the picture. But when Smith arrives he finds them near the body. gz says in his statements that he holstered the gun when he saw Ofc Smith approaching him. So, he left all of that out in the reenactment, because he didn’t want to admit that he’d walked from where Trayvon was, north to the T and then back again.

            Probably because he doesn’t want us to know that he dropped the little flashlight then. It was on and Jon didn’t see it, so foggen must have dropped before he followed Jon back to the body.

            gz is telling lots of lies.

  37. Cercando Luce says:

    If O’Mara wishes to argue that a latent print on firearm was destroyed by exposure to rain, he’s saying that firearm was outside of holster, exposed to rain, long enough to be destroyed thus.

    • IMBack says:

      the gun was protected under GZs jacket so it was only exposed to rain when he shot Trayvon then he holstered it back under his jacket.

  38. You all have thoughtful comments says:

    No check for prints on the can of tea?

    • roderick2012 says:

      YAHTC, I have always believed that George took the can of Arizona drink and Skittles out of the bag after he shot Trayvon and planted them inside Trayvon’s hoodie pocket so he could claim that Trayvon used the can of Arizona to strike him in the head.

      But there are at least two problems with that 1) With everything else George stated Trayvon did to him in that short period of time, it would not have made sense logically or timewise for Trayvon to have been able to put the can of drink into his hoodie pocket
      2) If Trayvon had put the can of drink and Skittles in his hoodie pocket why was the 7-11 bag next to his body? Meaning if Trayvon was going to get rid of the bag because he wanted to confront George and have his hands free the 7-11 bag should not have been close to his body which proves that Trayvon was still holding the bag when George attacked him.

  39. The lift was from the slide on Zimmerman’s gun, but it had no value for identification purposes.

  40. disappointed says:

    the slide? Are you saying Trayvon grabbed the slide when the gun was pointed at him?

    • Nellie Nell says:

      I still can not grasp how Trayvon could have seen that gun in the dark while mounted on lumpy lump CAC when the gun would have been along his leg and behind is ass. Sliding his hand down the chest of CAC is crazy talk. I just can not grasp that and hope that someone, maybe the gym instructor, will be able to clean that mess up. It has never made sense to me and to announce “You’re going to die tonight” with no weapon is nuts. The dumbest idiot would not threaten to kill someone after seeing their gun on their person. Ridiculous

  41. Two sides to a story says:

    Looks like simply establishing no other prints on Fogen’s gun. OM wants to establish it could be handled by several but not show up.

That there was a small window of time to put him on the stand which was heard by the court after jury selection was complete.

            I can’t speak for everyone but my issue is with your delivery, which I personally perceive to be extremely negative. Not an issue of whether you were right about something yesterday. We all have our days when we are right. What I would love to see from you is more of an open dialogue that does not come across as so pessimistic. On this blog we seriously try to be uplifting, not sugar coating, but we tend to look at the glass as half full. The half empty perception is certainly thought provoking but we have the world to contend with. Not really looking to have to do all of that in this community of people.

            Beyond a reasonable doubt doesn’t mean beyond a shadow of a doubt. The proponderance of the evidence that Dr. Rao examined and assessed is that these were minor, non-life-threatening injuries, and she shot down the lumps on GZ’s head as being anatomical.

      That would have been something for the pathologist to examine I would think…her testimony would have been more more effective if she had said that if there is none of Zimmerman’s blood on TMs hands and sleeves then that again proves there was no beating. Zimmerman would have bled during this attack, particularly the repeated punches and pressing on his nose.

      Done. This punch and cement bashing still has my blood boiling.

      • Ms.X says:

        Tasha, you & I have the same issues. I think the prosecution is being WAY too shallow & superficial. They need to be spelling things out explicitly for this jury. Yo’d think they wouldn’t make the same mistakes as the casey anthony prosecutors, but here they are making the same mistakes.

        Even just now with the latent print analyst, they should have asked her t, or some how summed up the reason why she just testified and the significance of it. If I had a $million for every missed opportunity….They are all we have to get justice, but I wish we had better.

        • Cercando Luce says:

          You can’t say prosecution never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity– but Coach Prof can tell us what play is on the field.

        • cielo62 says:

          Ms. X~ I’m disappointed in you, siding with tasha. Bernie has been a top notch attorney for over 25 years. His record is impressive. We on this blog have dissected this evidence for over a year. The jury only has a few weeks to hear it, comprehend it and make a decision based on that. Piling a tsunami of facts all at once will only confuse the jury and make it far more difficult to place events in sequence and assign value to significant bits of evidence. When you build a house, you start with a strong foundation. Doesn’t look like much especially when naysayers are screaming for the roof and the chimney. BUT it’s the only thing that will keep that house standing for years. Same here. Slowly the prosecution is building key bits of the story. Already they’ve destroyed gz’s lies about the “attack.” Already they’ve destroyed the fallacy of ignorance over SYG. Already there is the understanding that gz really really wanted to be a cop, had a weapon, rode around in the dark while armed, used cop terminology. Just be patient. The walls and windows are next.

            I can see the building of the case and find their method better to follow for someone that knows very little or nothing at all about the case. I have you all to thank for that because I think I would have been the same way with wanting everything to be laid on the table all at once.

            Also, MOM and West the Pest are also helping the conviction with all their talking and trying to lead the witnesses to say what they want them to say. After a while, you can see the desperation. Today you could see it with the ME when MOM forced her to stop talking because he did not want her to say too much which would have been against their client. “Let me ask the questions!”, he snapped. His lack of respect for women will also turn off the jury.

            I think that the state is speaking volumes with their direct by keeping it simple, letting MOM run his trap and then coming back to straighten out MOM bullshit.

            I have not courtroom experience but you all have and continue to, educate me which helps me keep my faith.

            @Cielo,

            Check the pattern: Trasha spouts off — ALWAYS bashing the prosecution, Miss X chimes in, an echo of Trasha.

            These are trolls sent to this site, with instructions to say everything great about Professor Fred, vow undying love to Trayvon and his family, crib theory that was developed over a months of research and analysis by Fred’s students so they can look knowledgeable – and DEMEAN and DEBASE the prosecution’s strategy and efforts.

            And these two babettes aren’t the only ones who showed up as soon as the trial started.

            Treepers are accustomed to O’Mara’s constant checking in, so Treepers think that Bernie and crew are checking in with us – as if they are clueless and unprepared. (Like fogen’s team is clueless and WOEFULLY unprepared. Lazy, too.)

            While I expect the prosecution has had staffers poring over our work the past year, Bernie and crew are professionals – and were successful prosecutors long before this site existed.

            The prosecution doesn’t need to come here for advice mid-trial..
            The prosecution doesn’t come here for reassurance mid-trial.
            The prosecution is not going to be demoralized if Trasha and X spew their giddy vitriol over this site. The prosecution doesn’t have the time for trolling dustballs. The prosecution is busy winning this case.

            We shouldn’t waste any time responding to dustballs, either.

            They are treeper trolls ON ASSIGMENT to disrupt us.

        Whether Trayvon had blood and/or DNA on him is BEYOND THE SCOPE of her examination and testimony. She did not examine Trayvon. She is not one of the CSI-type forensics people. She’s an ME who looked at the GZ photos and testified that the preponderance of evidence (which she stressed at least twice), based on her expert opinion, is that the injuries were minor and not life-threatening.

        • Nellie Nell says:

          And then slick ass MOM goes into how no injuries are needed, but he did have some. The way he keeps holding up those dumb pictures and slamming them on the edge of the desk is so freaking dramatic. “Have you seen this picture?” thump.

      Didn’t he say he did not have any contact with CAC after his second arrest. That means he was not aware of all the lies the defense team was coming up with prior to trial.

            IQ of 70 would suggest that GZ has mental retardation (I believe 80 or below is considered as such). The average IQ is 100. GZ is probably about average, which is to suggest that the average person is not all that smart.

    • crazy1946 says:

      Actually if I heard it right, the professor is there and ready to testify! Guess he decided the truth was more important than allowing a lie to go on and on and on!!!

    Okay, to stay awake, I am going to find the youtube “Shout” and then do some dancing and exercise to it.

    I want it to be in evidence so Fogen can then say, “I missed class that day”.
    We got 4-5 people listening in at work, we all laughed at MOM’s attempt with the ME.

      That’s not to be confused with the ex-girlfriend’s dog that Fogen kicked ….

      • Nef05 says:

        I really wish someone would kick him, and I wish the jury could hear about the dog kicking. There are two jurors whose applications mention being animal lovers. I doubt any of them approve of kicking them. He’s a hateful POS.

        TO – did you get the link I posted for you yesterday, with Wolfinger’s letter .pdf?

        • Trained Observer says:

          Hi Nef — Yes, I did. Thank you. Am not sure that’s the doc I had in mind, but am pleased to have it for file. There may be another more telling one under seal … but I could be wrong about that. Again, thanks.

        I’d send his fat butt to jail just for kicking the dog. Poor dog.

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      This has to be allowed right now to undo what Rao said IMO. It would show that FOGEN knew he didn’t have to kill Martin even if he was knocked on his ass but he chose to and he made it worse than what it was to cover up the fact that he killed out of want, not need. Depraved mind. Instigated a confrontation and then killed out of previous spite. We need the school records today.

    So slimy.

  84. ay2z says:

    “That’s their THEORY of the case… and they are ALLOWED TO PRESENT THEIR THEORY OF THE CASE”

    JN is going to let this in because she says “defense already put before the jury, that their client had no info on the self-defense laws”.

    Might be a half hr recess coming.

    • ay2z says:

      defense want NOW to proffer on whether or not defendant was present in class.

    • Trained Observer says:

      And now he’s in a dorky-dither because a professor is likely to say SYG is covered in a course Fogen took.

    • fauxmccoy says:

      no only was he right next to him in the interview, he had the opportunity to redact info on the hannity interview.

    JN says for fogen’s knowledge of investigation techniques, interview techniques, exhibit 180 is Hannity, Q about know about SYG and fogen said he did not know of it before.

    Therefore JN is going to deny the proffer…… courses that mr. z took in criminal justice or t’ords criminology degree, not like they are trying to introduce humanities classes.

    Coursework is not by ‘syg name’ in the course, it’s the law that’s covered.

    LOL, no one has handed the 4 exhibits to JN yet “If someone would like to hand them to me I will look at them.”

    She’s going to redacct a few things first…. like nonrelevant other courses and their grades, …. hmmm…. will she also not allow the proposed graduation date…

    “Criminal Investigation”– course of professor Pleasance (seems that might be the one on hiking excursion in NM– Mr. Mantai just said he has an update on that witness situation now too)

    “Criminal Litigation” — another course with section in workbook relating to ‘self-defense’ Prof Carter is in the wings waiting to be called.

      @Colin.

      Fogen is not “hung” with his own petard.

      It’s “Hoisted on his own petard”

      A petard was a very small explosion, in its day.

      Fogen “hoisted by his own petard” is fogen blown off his feet by the force of his own unfortunate fart.

  110. Endless Summer says:

    There have been lots of posts about editorials, TV punditry and blogging that favor the defense. I wanted to take a moment to point out the NRA connection to this case. The NRA has been responsible for passing the SYG law in FL and for FL’s very lax gun laws. The NRA has a vested interest in seeing the defendant acquitted in this case, and making him appeared justified in taking Trayvon’s life. The NRA is well funded and well organized.
    Pundits on TV are paid to comment. They structure their commentary not necessarily on their own beliefs and certainly not on common sense, but to gain ratings. They are paid to talk and to drive ratings. They know that if they make controversial claims it will drive ratings up.

    When you see multiple comments on news or blog sites that are pro-defense or anti-Trayvon, remember that you are probably seeing a well co-ordinated PR campaign. The NRA is adept at these online campaigns, “Freeping” polls, and controlling the narrative in comment sections of popular news sites and blogs. When you see multiple comments repeating the same talking points posted in sequence, you can be fairly sure you are seeing sock puppets. One person with multiple accounts can make the comment section seem as if it is overwhelmingly for the defense, which is not always true.

    Keep the faith.

    • whonoze says:

      All those socks are causing abrasions on the public scalp.

    • Woow! says:

      We learned that tactic from the last presidential election 🙂

    • lurker says:

      Thank you for that reminder. You are right. The NRA is a very well-organized lobby. To the extent that it is very difficult to google anything objective and factual about the interaction of gun laws and crime. One has to go to a research database for searches to come up with anything scholarly.

      • cielo62 says:

        lurker and Endless Summer~ I think they were interested AT FIRST. But after Hannity, I think they decided that gz is NOT a prime poster boy for SYG. He was clearly the aggressor and SYG does NOT cover the shooter if s/he is the aggressor.

  112. Prosecutors filed a motion Monday in response to a photo defense attorney Don West’s daughter posted last week.

    http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2013/7/2/zimmerman_prosecutor.html

    SANFORD — Prosecutors have asked a judge in the George Zimmerman trial to conduct an inquiry into an Instagram photo of a defense attorney eating ice cream with his daughters, but the lawyer said Tuesday that it was unrelated to testimony in the case.

    Prosecutors claimed in their motion the photo was posted after defense attorney Don West’s tense cross-examination with prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel last week.

    The caption in the photo posted by West’s daughter reads “We beat stupidity celebration cones” and the hashtag “#dadkilledit.”

    Prosecutors said an inquiry was necessary “to ensure that witnesses and court proceedings are treated with respect and not as occasions for inappropriate jokes.”

  113. Here comes 4 hammers with the documents that are relevant to show that defendant knew all about self-defense and SYG, was a cop wannabe, and had enough legal knowledge to portray himself in the most possibly favorable light.

    They are relevant and admissible.

      Yes, he does. Considering the professor was on the deposition list since April, and presumably knows what he is to testify to, there is no excuse for O”Mara not to have his objections together, supported by case law, so they can hurry up and be overruled. He knows good and well this is relevant and admissible.

    If GZ’s head had been slammed against the RAGGED edge of the concrete path according to the angle it would have hit he would have had a broken wound on or near the lower ridge of his scalp, there is none meaning there is NO WAY his head hit against the side of the concrete!

    Further, John said he saw GZ (the one on the bottom) trying to rise up and what goes up must come down, so it is clear there was a struggle, in a struggle each person gets buffeted this way and that, GZ trying to detain Trayvon, Trayvon trying to get free, but that does not mean GZ’s head was purposefully being slammed against the concrete by Trayvon !

    The state should bring on MMA experts and work it out on the floor in front of the jury !

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      Thank you! There has to be another explanation.

    How can West be so upset/nose outta joint about the pictures? I thought they were the ones who took them and posted? Is that wrong?

  145. ay2z says:

    Fogen testified via Hannity, he had 15 or 20 seconds from the shot to when officers first arrived.

    Begs the question, is this what was in his mind before pulling the trigger into the chest of his victim, pushed ‘under’ the button area, that quote “there was no more time.” unquote ?

    Officers were arriving and he had to make his kill, he had past the point of no return in his actions that night, and had to finish the job.

    Begs the question, if otherwise, that he knew officers were there, and he knew as we know, there was screaming, loud desperate wailing screams, that any officer would hear and follow, and report to quickly.

    He still had to pull the trigger? Why? Even if he were to black out, or stress out, the officers would likely scare any alleged ‘attacker’ if it was a bonefide attacker, so why pull the trigger?

    And why not wait the few seconds for officers to respond to the continual screaming and help? Because he knew he did not have to act to preserve life, he could act with depravity and do what he wanted, once he left no witness.

    “Wanted to” itself demands ‘depravity’ (by common sense)

      Pundits appear to be positively giddy over the Hannity interview and how it conflicts with fogen (and common sense), but perplexed that the prosecution didn’t follow up and drive the points home.

      Is there likely the FDLE investigators will contrast and compare all the different versions, pointing out the days and days worth of inconsistencies? Is this why we’re thinking there was no followup, at the time?

      • ks says:

        I think so. If the pundits can see the obvious conflicts/lies, so can the jury and the prosecution will keep pointing them out with the investigators and the forensics.

  148. GrannyStandingforTruth says:

    One thing I noticed about MOM and West is their persistent disrespect for females and constant insulting of their intelligence.

    Another thing, I wanted to bring up is the residents that live there have dogs. Dogs are smart and they pick up people’s scent. They are familiar with those who live on their block scent. Let me explain myself a little further. I live on a quiet street. There are eleven dogs on this street. If someone passes by on this street that does live on this block or that is not a frequent visitor such as family members or friends, those dogs bark in harmony, until that person is gone. If a people that lives on this block pass by, those dogs do not bark in harmony.

    If someone had been hiding in the bushes or even close to the neighbors in that neighborhood back porch, bushes, patio, etc., those dogs would have barked because dogs are also territorial.

    • You all have thoughtful comments says:

      Hey, you’re right about that. Good point!

    • roderick2012 says:

      “One thing I noticed about MOM and West is their persistent disrespect for females and constant insulting of their intelligence.”

      One would think having a female judge and an all female jury they would attempt to avoid being so obviously disrespectful to females but as the old saying goes a leopard can’t change his spots.

    Or he had a super large bowl of chilee hot dogs to scoff in front of his face.

    He was latterly grinning from ear to ear.

    Oh why couldn’t J ARRIAS Been from Florida
    An why couldn’t she obsessed on foggagge

    O r is that just to evil a thought from me?

  152. MichelleO says:

    Enjoy your LAST holiday, fogen.

  153. disappointed says:

    I think Fogen supporters forget Fogen is not the only one who had the right to defend them self. IMO if there were blows to the head I think it is when the gun came out. Trayvon probably swung and jerked trying to get away.

    • YQ says:

      well, fights move around and do all sorts of unexpected things, but the things that stood out to me the most is him admitting that he “aimed” and “shot” the kid at point blank. Then he went on to say that he didn’t know he if he shot him or not??? Because he sat up and… yadayadyada. A shot to the heart and as the bullet opens the lung, prevents breathing and kills almost instantly.

  154. You all have thoughtful comments says:

    I am glad I do not have to watch O’Mara cross-examining an archeologist about the Giza pyramid and asking questions about each and every stone block both seen and unseen!

  155. O’Mara did not touch her regarding whether the injuries were minor.

    Still no testimony regarding the significance of the blood trails and that is disappointing.

    • jo says:

      yep, where is sir isaac newton when you need him

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      Agreed. How wasb the blood flowing FORWARD??? And this witness gave him a self defense claim by saying he was knocked down by Martin who apparently didn’t flee which is what MOM was saying during the last question. Just when I regain faith in the state they phuck up. smh

    • YQ says:

      Interesting Professor, and I’m wondering if that’s Serino meant about the law of gravity in his errr…. “challenge interview”.

    • Aunt Bea says:

      More than merely disappointing.

      Who else would/could testify to the significance of these trails on a living person?

      Count on the jurors’ life experiences?

  156. Endless Summer says:

    I’m wondering if the defendant slipped in the wet grass and banged his head on the sidewalk when he went chasing after Trayvon.

    • MichelleO says:

      Very possible. Someone else above stated that he could have gotten those “injuries” while at MMA practice.

      • Endless Summer says:

        Yes, I saw that, and it certainly seems a likely possibility.

        I’m wondering if he was chasing Trayvon, slipped and hurt himself, and that might have sent him into a rage. I have seen bullies/DV perps do this–injure themselves going after someone, become enraged over their self-inflicted injury, and take it out on their victim.

        • MichelleO says:

          Exactly! Just like when you accidentally bite your tongue, stub your toe, or hit your elbow. Sends you into a rage.

    • Two sides to a story says:

      I wouldn’t be surprised.

    • Aunt Bea says:

      No one reported Trayvon laughing. (smile)

  157. jo says:

    o’mara is treating the jury like they are idiots that would believe trayvon very delicately touched shimmys head to the ground causing tiny injuries each time…..i think the prosecution is treating the jury as though they are intelligent adults and they don’t have to spell out everything for them to realise how unrealistic the defences scenario’s are.

    shimmyman never said he gently knocked my head and gave me a few bitch slaps, he said punched me in the face and slammed my head repeatedly…..

    the jury can see that those bumps and scrapes are from a bit of a wrestle and possibly one punch in his lying face.

  158. breelee says:

    I’m scaring my pups to death with all my yelling, but why don’t they see that the blood in his stash did NOT come from inside his nose? Why didn’t Guy ask if it could’ve come from those dots at the tip? I had a SO with a stash and saw him with bloody noses, it ran on the sides, not down the dang middle!

    Sick of MOM’s what if’s. What if a UFO came down and cause fogens boo-boos. Same difference..

    • Malisha says:

      It doesn’t matter where the blood came from; it could have come from Mars. The injuries were superficial, insignificant, tiny, “not coincident with” a dangerous life-threatening beat-down, OVER AND OUT.

      • Lonnie Starr says:

        …And, it’s not about whether gz thought the attack on himself was lethal. The law requires that the jurors believe that the attack appears lethal to any reasonable person (themselves).

        gz says that Trayvon went for his gun, and that’s why he retrieved it and shot him. If that were true case closed, since gz had no right or need to shoot once he had control of his weapon. Nor, did he have any right to fight for his weapon, because he was the person who brought the weapon into a situation he claims was dangerous.

        One minute gz is too afraid of Trayvon to talk to him, and yet, a minute later he’s not afraid to go running after him. Which, of course, makes sense because gz had a firearm. He had no reason to fear anybody, most especially when he had his window rolled down in his truck (which, of course, is what everyone does in the rain right? Keep their windows rolled down.) Am I missing something?

  159. any scratches,might have been TM,trying desperately to get away from Fogens mma holds,poor,poor kid

  160. YQ says:

    “What about the ‘next’ injury?” HAHAHAHAHA!!! Is it me or does O’Mara suck at lawyering?

    • MichelleO says:

      Yes, he does! Neither he nor West handle getting their asses handed to them very well. I wonder if this is why they are representing fogen.

      • YQ says:

        Personally I think it’s all about the money with them. Once that website took off, they saw the $$$ and pulled him from Hal Uhrig quickly.

    • Sabrina B. says:

      I bet if they had let her answer she would have said, ‘judging from the extent of the present injuries then, no.’

      • YQ says:

        They keep singing that song: “Zimmerman’s injuries were consistent.”

        They can’t toot that tune anymore, the defense is almost dismantled.

    • jo says:

      tee hee i’m with you on that one….i loved the other day when he yells objection a few times in succession and then yells it again but stops half way out of his chair, has a derrrr look on his face and finally says oh sorry i think that question was actually ok, or something like that.

    • Ms.X says:

      To me its not that he sucks at lawyering, its that he is a diabolical devil. I wish he would be attacked and have his character besmirched the same way he has done Trayvon. He has stated repeatedly things like, “When Trayvon was slamming george zimmeran’s head against the cement,” “when Trayvon was punching my client repeatedly in the face.” Its very low down.

  161. Sabrina B. says:

    That was righteous.

  162. MichelleO says:

        They should have ordered chocolate swirl ice cream, or at least that is what he is now thinking, silly fool still does not realize what the whole problem is, he thinks it is about ice cream…..

  166. Mary says:

    Today the state’s medical examiner sent George Zimmerman to jail.

  167. You all have thoughtful comments says:

    yawn…..stretch

  168. lurker says:

    What?

    She’s excused?

  169. SearchingMind says:

    O’Mara said: “The extent of injury is not significant/relevant to this case”. So, what has O’Mara been arguing to the jury since day one? This dude is sooo full of it that he does not realize when he is undermining his own case.

    • elle says:

      The laws that fogen is trying to use in his favor also apply to Trayvon. I am surprised they are pretending that is not the case. And, Trayvon was a minor.

    • elle says:

      And SearchingMind, thank you for all the time you have spent helping us understand the laws that apply.

    • crazy1946 says:

      He is explaining to the Dr. that she does not know the law? I am sure she realizes that it is not the extent of the injuries, but the fear of loss of life that is involved in his defense. But as she has demonstrated better than he realizes, the fear of loss of life should not have been there for a reasonable person…. considering the minor injuries….

    • fauxmccoy says:

      i believe i said the same thing. can i be your paralegal? pretty please? i’m a fast learner!

  170. gwynne says:

    mom doesn’t like hand questions…

  171. gbrbsb says:

    Here we go… MOM’s going by the any blunt trauma to the head could be fatal and how was GZ expected to know that the next injury wouldn’t be fatal… that is the defence’s case in a nutshell!

    • MichelleO says:

      Like someone else said, he could have sustained some of those injuries from his MMA fighting practices at the gym. He could have sustained those head injuries from running after his prey in the rain.

  172. jo says:

    so if someone scratches me i can shoot them because they could maybe possibly somehow might kill me with the next scratch

  173. Boyd says:

    He’s implying the ME is corrupt and he thinks the ME is not intelligent. “What about the next injuries?”

  174. ay2z says:

    what about the ‘next’ injury?
    Object’n sustained, calls for speculation about some ‘next’ injury

  175. fauxmccoy says:

    hahahahaha – objection sustained re: ‘the next injury’

    hint: quit while you are a ‘head’ mr o’mara

  176. lurker says:

    OK–cross.

    Should be a whole lot here to cover.

  177. MichelleO says:

    Thank you!

  178. Deborah Moore says:

    Wow! M O M goes way out into the weeds.
    The next injury? The one that didn’t happen.

  179. disappointed says:

    ask about Trayvon’s gun shot, is that life threatening. Oh never mind we know.

  180. MichelleO says:

    Why doesn’t the judge tell him to sit his azz down.

  181. jo says:

    if it was like any of the other injuries then no

  182. fauxmccoy says:

    if extent of injuries is not relevant, mr o’mara, why are you doggedly pursuing this line of questioning?

  183. i repeat fogen is toast there is no way defense can refute this

    • chi1224 says:

      I agree Katie. O’Mara is making a fool of himself. This witness was fantastic for the state and he can’t change that.

    • Trained Observer says:

      Osterman may be putting a lot of mileage on his car in years ahead visiting the “best friend” he ever had in the clink.

  184. jo says:

    so he didn’t punch shimmyman in the face 12 times, he possible slapped and scratched him a few times now…..he is trying to get her to testify that it is possible that his head made contact with ground over and over but they must have been very minor contacts….trayvon was very gentle apparently

  185. disappointed says:

    funny fogen showed straight up and down slams now Trayvon is trying to tear his head off slams.

  186. chi1224 says:

    I wonder if the jurors hate O’Mara by now?

  187. ay2z says:

    “Consistent with one” blow on cement.

    Injuries are SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER”, She is having to sepculate’, but says it’s ‘unusual’, “head would really have to be contorted’ to get your scenarios.

    Sidewalk,MOM introduces the ‘edge’.

    Objection overruled because ‘hypothetical with expert’

    this is the funniest cross yet
    O’Mara is all smarm

    It is possible what you are suggesting….heeeheee

    let’s shave george and bang him around right now and see what happens

  194. DruDo says:

    He cannot make it what it is NOT.

  195. gwynne says:

    I guess it’s also possible a yeti hit him with a baseball bat.

    • MichelleO says:

      It was a yeti robot who intended no harm, even with its laser beams and bombs.

    • Tzar says:

      well it was dark….

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      We know what Zimmerman said is IMPOSSIBLE and I would put her hypothesis of Martin causing his facial knicks.with a punch as impossible as well. We don’t know how fat ass got his boo boos but they did not happen as he claimed. She gives him the face punch and concrete slam, still don’t know how the hell this helps anything. Smmfh.

      • elle says:

        She perfectly demonstrated how fogen could have punched himself on the bridge of his nose. It was a perfect visual. She placed her fist on the bridge of her nose where his little laceration was.

  196. chi1224 says:

    Her opinion is loud and clear to the jury, the injuries were “very insignificant” and “so minor”…. All this blithering by O’Mara is not going to change that. The truth that is crystal clear is Fogen LIED.

  197. Sabrina B. says:

    Head would have to be contorted.

  198. tonydphotog says:

    Is this going to take all afternoon? Same questions over and over.

    Isn’t it time for an objection?

  199. Mojo says:

    Please tell me the State will redirect with a simple, “In your expert medical opinion are these injuries minor and not consistent with life threatening injuries or consistent with the way GZ claimed?”

    If this was not so serious it would be on comedy central… This lady has handed MMO a complete a** whopin! He should exhibit wounds on his back side…..

  203. DruDo says:

    Gee, scumbag, so she’s proving over and over again that he lied about his pumpkin head was smashed repeatedly on concrete.

  204. ay2z says:

    Least number contact skull and ‘cement’ (it’s CONCRETE MOM, expert tells you).

    “I told you three”.

    Q, how many maximum?
    A Can’t tell you
    you have to tell me the scenario

    MOM wants to increase number of blows using this expert.

    “you have got to give me the scenario”

    Ok, 6 blows to side of head?

    No– injuries were so tiny.

    Consider 4 on left side? “That’s not MY OPINION. It’s possible”
    Abrasions in front, not punctate she has to correct him again.

    “SO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BRUISE AND SWELLING SEPARATE, both in one place indicates consistent with ONE injury.”

      • ChrisNY~Laurie says:

        Rachael- Is Junior on the witness list to testify as well? He hasn’t been in the courtroom since his little press conference inside the courthouse has he? I know he wasn’t there the day Momma, Daddy and Shellie were told they had to leave.

    • Trained Observer says:

      She and Z’s parents were ejected before opening statements because they are on wit list. Defense made a big stink about getting Trayvon’s parents removed as well because they, too, are on list. State law, however, is very clear about parents of victims, especially minors, having a right to be in court.

  218. ChrisNY~Laurie says:

    So f I am understanding MOM, Fogen could have hit Trayvon and not left any marks on Trayvon or himself…correct?

    (bruise and swelling go together)

    MOM, it’s not your fault your conclusions are ‘extremely unscientific’ (taking what is on other side and applying it here)

    • lurker says:

      Yes–exactly. If those punctate abrasions came from the cement, he would have to be in some position other than on his back.

      Now she is talking about how severely contorted the head would have to be in order to get all those bruises all over.

    • PiranhaMom says:

      @Robert –

      Yes, head a moving object – not necessarily on concrete dog walk. Could have been on concrete box cover of irrigation valves in the grassy area.

  245. ay2z says:

    She does admit to a small bruise, she gives him a lesson on what she considers, not just distance but whole area contour of head.

    MOM calls client’s head a sphere or oval.

    She corrects MOM on his use of ‘scarring’– NOT the right USE OF TERM.

      Nobody cares about West’s “guilty pleasure” of eating ice cream after court. Apparently his demeanor with his family is not such that they have respect for a 19 year old witness to a horrendous event in the life of her friend (regardless of WHAT anyone thinks about how that happened), particularly considering the profound differences in the advantages in their lives.

      And you can bet if those moms on the jury have seen injuries and if they have boys may have seen fights and just have to be shaking their heads.

  253. Rachael says:

    I still say the punctate abrasions could come from bushes, branches or rolling on the ground.

    • chi1224 says:

      I agree. I wish somebody would ask her if that is “possible”

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      I say.that as well. Pardon my French but her testimony of one punch slightly injuring two sides of.the head is flat out fuckin dumb. And the right-handed TM did not punch him and cause a cut on the left side of his nose and two knicks on the tip. Recoil bitch RECOIL!!!

  254. gbrbsb says:

    OK MOM, you better get Georgie to shave his head again so to prove to the jury it wasn’t a ridge made by the skull plates.

    And another thing MOM, what you said before about GZ’s head being hit on one side and being pushed against the pavement on the other,

    a) GZ claims Trayvon lifted his head and slammed it against concrete, NOT that his head was buffeted/forced/ pshed against the concrete by

    b) Where is the bruising that corresponds to the hit on the other side of his head that propelled his head against the concrete ?

  255. Sabrina B. says:

    If it is swelling then the the bruise should be so marked it can be seen, get it MOM?

  256. You all have thoughtful comments says:

    • gbrbsb says:

      Touch wood and fingers crossed because the defence still has their own medical expert and my bet is he will argue exactly the contrary… unfortunately medical and forensics are not exact sciences, there is almost always room for opinion.

      • cielo62 says:

        gbrbsb~ But can you see something that just isn’t there? No DNA means no DNA. Natural variations without contusions are just that. I mean, even with an ME that is in the defense’s pocket, WHAT can they say that could salvage “insignificant injuries”?

        • Malisha says:

          They could call them “grievous injuries” or as Jonathan Turley so cavalierly referred to them, “serious injuries,” but that won’t matter.

      None of.this explains why TM would hit him and not escape!!

      • because he was holding him(mma) then shot him,keep up

      • Malisha says:

        TM did not (probably) even hit him. He could have impact from gun recoil; he could have impact from knocking into something; he could have self-inflicted wounds on his head (gun-shaped by the way); there is no real evidence TrayvonMartin ever landed a punch or even a slap on him, no DNA.

      • Malisha says:

        Tasha, you’re not suggesting, are you, that Trayvon hit Fogen and then hung around? For what, to see if he could land another good one? We don’t know what happened because it’s impossible to know what happened. Even when there are videos, as there were of the Boston Marathon bombing, it is extremely difficult to figure out what actually happened within a short and violent period of time with unknown participants doing all sorts of unexpected things. You can reasonably rule out, however, that Trayvon sucker punched Fogen, then had a clear path to escape and failed to take it. Just not possible.

        Just as Fogen’s creative scenario was not possible. That’s all the prosecution really needs to prove. I think it’s already proven.

        • Malisha says:

          Fogen’s DNA on Trayvon’s clothing, the holes from the bullet going through the clothing at point-blank while entering the chest at intermediate, and Fogen’s positioning of his own left hand to show he had to aim to avoid shooting himself show why Trayvon didn’t run away: He was being restrained. Also, I believe the gun was out 15-20 seconds earlier than the beginning of the last scream.

      • cielo62 says:

      Two injuries? She says yes but she doesn’t do physics, she says two injuries from one impact still.

    • Tzar says:

      she said 2.0 for the second one

  309. gbrbsb says:

    I hope the State asks whether GZ’s head bumps and lacerations could be from his scraping and bumping his head on the pavement during the struggle but not because his head was “slammed” by Trayvon.

    I believe GZ was underneath Trayvon but not because Trayvon was holding him down or hitting him but because he was clinging on to Travyon with one of his MMA grappling techniques to prevent Trayvon from getting away before the police came and as Trayvon was trying to free himself from him GZ’s head was being buffeted along the ground.

    • PiranhaMom says:

      @gbrbsb –

      Correct.

      “Minor collateral damage to head while hunting and killing victim.”

      Pass the kiddie band-aids, please.

      • gbrbsb says:

        I agree, but let’s keep calm because as I have posted already, we still haven’t heard the defence’s expert and my bet is it’s going to be like chalk and cheese, same with the gunshot wound experts if different.

    • groans says:

      Agree.

    • willisnewton says:

      Agree. Amsterdam thinks so too I believe – its the best theory I’ve heard. There was no”fight” there was a prisoner trying To escape an illegal detention

      • gbrbsb says:

        Was amsterdam and another poster, can’t remember, pondering about John’s description of how the pair moved from grass to sidewalk and from sidewalk to grass without changing position and how the one on the bottom can’t control the movement only the one on the top can, that gave me the idea.

        It dawned that GZ on the bottom during the struggle at least fitted all the witnesses testimonies, it even fits with the young boy’s testimony who said he only saw one person, GZ, because if GZ was holding on to a skinny stick like Trayvon tight in a grappling hold, in the dark it could have looked like a single person, and imo fitting with the witnesses narratives has to be better than trying to refute and/or debunk them and call half of them liars which is difficult to prove.

        It also explains none of the others DNA on either, no defence wounds either, the minor injuries to GZ’s head scraping along the concrete, the lack of any slapping or punching noises while yes the existence of scuffling sounds that all witnesses noted, and the screams, imo two people are heard on that recording, i.e. GZ screaming “help me”, i.e. “help me restrain this guy”, and Trayvon’s heart-wrenching screams while GZ holds onto him with painful grappling locks to keep him from getting away.

        I only hope the prosecution has also realised the theory because although I am reminded often that the prosecution doesn’t have to “prove” anything one way or the other only that what GZ says couldn’t have happened, it’s my view that putting a theory forward that is at peace with all the other evidence is a better bet than not having anything to put forward or one that is at odds with many witnesses testimony.

    • tashatexas77048 says:

      Lack of blood on TMS hands says he didn’t hit Zimmerman and draw blood. Fuck the image of her punching herself in the face. Pissed again!

      • Unabogie says:

        Tasha, let’s look at the totality of the evidence. I think it would be a mistake for the prosecution to try and present Trayvon as never having engaged Zimmerman. Look at the totality of the evidence, and this is what I think it shows.

        Jenna Lauer hears an argument happening at the T, and so does Jeanee Manalo. At some point, Jenna hears a grunt and the sound of scurrying feet, as if two people are running. To me this matches what Rachel Jeantel heard, with Zimmerman catching up to Martin, demanding to know who he was, and grabbing his arm to detain him (“get off, get off!”). I think Martin punched Zimmerman once here, but he did not fall down. Martin ran away and Zimmerman chased him to where the phone and flashlight fell. A few seconds later, Selene and her sister hear noises of scuffling feet and she looks out to see both of them grappling by where the cell phone fell, and this is important, STANDING UP. She goes back inside to turn off the stove. She comes back and at this point I believe Martin and Zimmerman went down to the grass. I think Zimmerman did in fact do a shimmy here, and scooted himself onto the sidewalk, and did really hit his head, and that Martin did in fact get on top at the time John Good came out. But when John Good went back inside, Zimmerman flipped Martin off and got back on top. This is when Austin Brown saw him. Zimmerman, as per the location of the shell casing and the direction of the blood, was on top at this point. He shot Martin, and Selma Mora ran to her window in time to see Zimmerman on top five seconds after the shooting. Several witnesses saw the same thing.

        So I don’t think the state needs to prove that Martin was never on top or never hit Zimmerman. I think it’s sufficient to show that a) Zimmerman was never knocked down at the T, and b) he didn’t get the beat down he claimed, and in fact continued to go after Trayvon until he killed him, and c) made up a bunch of vicious and unbelievable lies to cover up the fact that at every step of the way he was the agent of conflict, while Martin was trying to get away.

        To me, this fits all the evidence and doesn’t require any discounting of witnesses as liars or shills, fits the physical evidence, and doesn’t require Martin to be a superhero or Zimmerman to have planned this from the start. And if the state argues something that fits ALL of the evidence and exposes Zimmerman as the sociopathic liar he really is, the jury will not let him get away with killing Trayvon Martin.

        • cielo62 says:

          Unabogie- very convincing except for the strike from Trayvon because the forensic evidence shows zero DNA on his hands as well as no bruising from a punch it hit.

    Shouldn’t mom be trying to beg her to say this could be 4 or 5 injuries from being slam downed?

  351. fauxmccoy says:

    FFS o’mara — forensic exam is performed because of crime

  352. Injuries to the side of the head are minor bumps caused a single contact with a cement surface.

    • That’s one impact per side

      • groans says:

        I’m thinking a rolling motion would explain all those little spots. As in, a wrestling motion or while trying to hang onto someone to prevent the person’s escape.

        Wish Dr. Bao would have thought about a single “rolling” contact when she was cross examined by MOM about “how many” possible contacts. Actually, I wish she hadn’t agreed to two or three contacts, for the same reason.

  353. Sophia33 says:

    So instead of questioning her presentation of the actual evidence, he is going to make this about politics?

    MOM will take 5 days.

  367. ay2z says:

    Very small little mark on bridge o fnose– again, “NO loss of consciousness”, no hopsital, he went to a ‘clinic’.

    Any abrasions? She shows them, we dont’ see where she pointed but on face, and “very small”.

    Can this come from a single blow? YES, consistant for the pattern of the injuries iable to nflict these injuries.

    Contusions to both sides? “Yes”

    Disrgard drop of dried blood (right side) in her showing of where contusions on back of head as the blood is not on an injury.

    Also those on back concistent with a ‘SINGLE BLOW”

    Again disregard flow of dried blood (showing left side)

    Again, could be a ‘SINGLE IMPACT YES”

    All those injures from one impact.

    • Girlp says:

      More like tumbling and rolling not beating…hmmm I do hope Trayvon did give him one fist to the face but it looks to me like the kid was simply trying to break away from the idiot.

  368. Woow! says:

    W smirking and it makes me wonder what he is going to ask the doctor.

    • Girlp says:

      West should sit quietly the rest of this week but I’m sure he will try to bully the doctor into saying the injuries are life threating.

  369. Girlp says:

    Bet Zimmie slipped on the wet grass and fell backwards hit edge of sidewalk maybe even before catching up with Trayvon. No slamming head on concrete. He could have also hit his head on the edge of the sidewalk tussling with Trayvon.

  370. Ms.X says:

    I wish she would use the word “superficial” because thats what his “injuries” are. NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO ASK ABOUT DIRECTION OF BLOOD FLOW!!!

  371. Small abrasion on the bridge of the nose and 2 punctate injuries to the tip of the nose.

    The injuries are consistent with a single blow.

    No great force.

  378. crazy1946 says:

    Please note: Mr. West has in the hearing process leading up to this trial stated he was computer illiterate, yet he touch types and from watching him as he was on the computer when MOM and the State went to the judges bench, he was touch typing and look like he was doing a search….

    • cielo62 says:

      crazy~ not to defend the douchebag, BUT when people say things like they are not computer literate, they mean they don’t know the major programs, like MicroSoft Office or Excel or Powerpoint. I don’t consider myself computer literate becasue I only know word processing. BUT I can search and find anything, and I can certainly use apps and type. SOOOO…. he might indeed be computer illiterate and yet be able to do many things.  Just my rusty 2 cents worth.

      ________________________________

      • crazy1946 says:

        Yes, but he was talking about Facebook, Twitter and sites such as The GZ Legal Blog! Things that he seems now to know how to use! Perhaps he learned how to do those things recently…. 😉

      We old folks learned how to type, because we did actually have typewriters back in the old days.

      • crazy1946 says:

        Agreed, I am proof of that! But West now suddenly knows how to do what one month ago he could not even begin to understand, yet he takes five + minutes to process a simple sentence? Sorry, but that does not process……..

    So minor. Slammed implies great force. Uh, oh! Buh bye!

    Not great force. repeatedly slammed lots of lacerations.

  381. groans says:

    Hearsay? Dictionaries? Don’t believe so….

  382. VERY insignificant,means he prolly SCAPED his own head,and bloodied his own nose imo

    OK, she is an EXPERT and can not comment on another expert’s opinion? IE is the dictionary source (say OED, or Websters unabridged, considered an ‘authority’?

    Assoc med exameiner for 19 yrs (can’t keep up with her!!)

    Jacksonvill med examiner for about 7 (?) yrs.

    “sudden unnatural death casese” comes under forensic pathology field

    Also dealt with living trauma victims,several thousand, so experienced with living patients as well. Including rape victims and also someone alleging police brutality to see if allegations borne out by trauma. Also child abuse cases, esp if they thought child was going to die, basically practiced ‘forenseic medicine’ vs just practiccing ‘forensic patho’gy’.

    Blunt force– a blunt weapon, ie stick, baseball bat,
    vs
    Sharp force == sharp instrument

    Blunt
    1. small bruise, blood vessels unders skin which is intact
    2. scrape– skin compromised
    3. lacern’s– skin torn and underlying tiissue also torn

    bruise = contusions

  431. Stormwatch says:

    Thank you Norm Wolfinger and Bill Lee for running blocker in the beginning. If you had done your job, the guy gets arrested that night, clams up, and doesn’t say a word to anyone. But thanks to you guys, Zimmerman thought he was home free and blabbed blabbed blabbed. He ain’t never taking the stand, so thanks for all the good evidence that you allowed the defendant to provide concerning his side(s) of the story.

      WTF is right, disappointed. What does this asshole have to smile about? I cannot bear watching him smile and laugh. He killed an unarmed kid for sheer sport and bias, and he doesn’t have the right to smile ever again, IMO. Nothing funny going on here. Nothing.

  448. Sabrina B. says:

    Did he just smile after that showing?

  449. Sophia33 says:

    And then, I just shot this kid and went back to my malted milkshake. Doesn’t everyone?

    well that makes it all better. you described cause they asked. stop calling police idiot.

  454. Girlp says:

    How many more stories did Zimmerman tell… the kid can’t speak there was no you got it…Oh my God’s plan ! That is really out there Zim you come across as a real sicko. How could Trayvon say anything he had no heartbeat no breath to speak with you blew it away. 35+ years.

  455. chi1224 says:

    That goofy laugh makes me sick! He’s talking about the murder of a child!

  456. Ty Flair says:

    Hannity: why did he tell you to shut the fuck up
    fogan: i don’t know
    The reason you don’t know because you was not the one screaming for help.

  457. MichelleO says:

    Unfortunately, this is all it takes in America for a white or half-white individual to be cleared of all charges: behave in an innocent or “Gee, golly, wow” demeanor.” This is something black people can’t get away with.

    • KA says:

      It’s true…I hate it.

    • Sorry, but I have to quote a black comedian…

      Whiteguy says “I’m the anti-Christ that’s why I had to kill them”- White people say “hey, he was crazy, lets study this”

      Blackguy says “I’m the anti-Christ that’s why I had to kill them”- White people smack their lips saying “Oh really, negro”

    • abbyj says:

      Right, Michelle. And not forgetting to compliment a police officer on the cross on her necklace to elicit advice from her about whether God is going to for give you. He’s just sooooo holy, isn’t he? What a pile of crap.

    Amazing Detail on the Hannity interview but tells cops I don’t know, I don’t remember.

    If he did not think he hit him , why did he tell Police “I shot him”. he would have said ‘I think I shot him”

    • jo says:

      yeah he never said “he gave up and isn’t going to fight anymore so he is just laying motionless on the grass and wont dare to move anymore so it was safe for me to holster my gun and turn my back to him and walk away never looking back because he is now respecting my authority” did he….no he said “i shot him”

  472. Sophia33 says:

    So Trayvon Martin was a skipping, contortionist thug? Is that what you are saying Porky?

  473. Woow! says:

    Today is a very good day. Thanks to Hannity and his racist network, they are lending a hand to the prosecution with this incredibly stupid interview.

    MOM should have never allowed his client to go on TV ….oh wait a minute, money trumps common sense and I betcha Hannity paid for it.

  474. disappointed says:

    WTF Thee gun!

  475. Sophia33 says:

    What investigators told him that Trayvon knew he was talking to the police?

    • Malisha says:

      SO now Trayvon also knew what other people were thinking and doing even though he couldn’t see or hear. Right.

      • fauxmccoy says:

        malisha says

        SO now Trayvon also knew what other people were thinking and doing even though he couldn’t see or hear. Right.

        so they could both read each other’s thoughts, according to george, but could not avoid this ‘confrontation’???

        lord, help me.

  476. Stormwatch says:

    What store was he going to and what are the Sunday hours? What were the contents of his wallet that night when police took it? Enough $$ for a weeks worth of groceries? He is such a liar.

  477. Sabrina B. says:

  486. silk says:

    i get the feeling that the jury is tired and ready to go home .

  487. jo says:

    so THEY usually do their shopping on sunday night and all their cooking for the week, so why was he doing it alone this night and why wasnt shellie even home for dinner.

  488. Boyd says:

    has he told Hannity I don’t remember

  489. disappointed says:

    MOM looks a little green he about to puke?

    • Beverly says:

      I wonder how much this explanation fits with other things he has heard. Like where I am I? He does look green and very subdued.

  490. Sophia33 says:

    So you couldn’t remember where you just put your phone, even though you just got off the phone?

  491. Boyd says:

    He reached into his pants pockets revealing his gun

  492. Stormwatch says:

    I wonder of anyone on the jury might be thinking that even if it was self defense, what kind of guy goes on Hannity to give a blow by blow account. Most folks would be too distraught to talk about it and would probably be in therapy. Now when you consider that it was nothing remotely resembling self defense, what kind of guy goes on TV to talk about it? If he does not testify, will that not work against him? If I’m a juror, I’m thinking this guy is a clown. He can go on Sean Hannity, but he can’t take the stand? I just have a feeling that the prosecution is doing a lot better than some folks are giving them credit for.

        I’m gonna hold off on this one. My mom was handicapped when she lived in NJ and I lived in NY. I’d go out on Sunday and shop and do what I called a “cook-in” for the week — and that was before microwaves.

        • fauxmccoy says:

          it’s exactly what i did in my 8th month of both pregnancies — prepared and froze 3 months of food, with instructions for finishing so the husband could tend to easily. i have a good idea how long such an operation would take 🙂

    @ Unabogie

    Re: importance of Osterman

    Impeachment. Osterman has thus far – and without knowing it – helped Prosecutors in their quest to untangle “the web of lies” narrated by GZ. Osterman’s testimony is very significant in demonstrating that GZ relayed different stories to different parties regarding “what happened” all of which cannot be true at the same and are not consistent with physical evidence (I am still aghast that GZ’s best friend has been one of the best Prosecution witness so far!). Untangling GZ’s web of lies is just one of the important segments of the process to bring GZ down. Letter on, the cops who actually investigated the crime will be called to testify. That, among others, will be another segment of the chain of evidence. At a given point that chain (as in bicycle chain) will be complete and unbreakable. What I see prosecutors doing is painstakingly connecting that chain, piece by piece. Be patient. And have faith.

    • Eric says:

      Okay, I guess I should calm down and just be patient. I think today was a very good day for the state.

    • bettykath says:

      I’m surprised that Osterman still has a job with the Marshals. He makes it look as if the Marshals accept bottom of the barrel applicants. Hope I never need them for the witness protection program. 🙂

    • Xena says:

      @SearchingMind. Thank you for bringing a sensible understanding to this discussion. “Bit of evidence by bit of evidence.” That is what Corey said.

    • Unabogie says:

      I missed this, but thank you for the response. I was actually shocked at how good Osterman was for the state’s case today. I thought I’d been following this case pretty well, but I missed all of the crap he told Osterman. When I listen to Zimmerman, it’s just so patently obvious he’s lying. He uses weasel words, he shifts what he’s claiming based on the questioner, he moves back and forth with material inconsistencies. I’ve known pathological liars and I think Zimmerman is one. I just can’t understand people who listen to that guy and think he sounds believable.

      (looking at you, Serino, you useless fuck)

    • PiranhaMom says:

      @Searching Mind.

      Searcher, one REAL favor the Ostermans did for Zimmerman was make him lose 50 lbs. during George & Shellie’s stay there.

      George has been making up for it ever since.

  532. boyd says:

    I missed the cross exam of Osterman, so i’m guessing George got the benefit of the doubt AGAIN???!!!!! he meant the hand was on the leather not the gun.

    this trial is laughable, It would make for a good cartoon, Trayvon and George as Tom and Jerry in a head bashing scene.
    I apologize for my imagination.

  533. Trained Observer says:

    If Defense thinks jurors will feel Osterman’s testimony adequately subs in for Fogen’s, it better revisit the thought.

  534. bettykath says:

    When was the deposition of the CC teacher scheduled when the defense didn’t show up?

    • Sabrina B. says:

      Regarding that, you can bet that had it been the prosecution that did not show for a witness, MOM would have found a way to ensure the jury heard about it even if they were handling it outside of earshot of the jury.Just like West made sure they knew that fogen’s parents were not allowed in.

    • disappointed says:

      I believe it was the Tuesday of Jury selection or last Tuesday.

    • SearchingMind says:

      Betty, the defense did not show up because O’Mara and West did figure out the importance/relevance of his testimony until after it was all over. That testimony is a trial testimony as opposed to deposition testimony.

      • bettykath says:

        Trial testimony taken out of the courtroom? Whatever, when was it scheduled? Was it when West was having his “overcoming stupid celebration”? If trial testimony and the defense didn’t bother to show up for cross-examination, it would seem that they waived it. Maybe the judge will see it that way.

        • SearchingMind says:

          Yes, Betty. The trial testimony was taken out of courtroom and preserved for actual trial. The reason is that the witness in question will not be available during trial. I do not know when it was scheduled. But I do know that the scheduling was coordinated with the defense. As you rightly said, Mantei also stated that the defense by not showing up has waived the right to cross-examine. Nonetheless, the State is willing to make the witness available via Skype for cross if the defense would be ready for that tomorrow afternoon.

          • bettykath says:

            thanks for the clarification. So no one is present to referee the objections? lol guess that’s not needed when only one side shows up.

  535. Stormwatch says:

    I’m looking at the pic of West and his offspring with the ice cream cones. It is very obvious that Mr. West took that picture. You can see his arm stretched out as he takes the pic. So he would have had to send the pic to someone else before it started making the rounds. That man is so internally and externally ugly. He could make an onion cry.

    • Deborah Moore says:

      Unless, as someone – I’m sorry I don’t recall – said he could have used his daughter’s phone. Him, with the long arm of the law.
      But, I agree that he should not be allowed to say One Word to Ms. Jeantel. Except, to offer a Huge Apology. In front of everyone. (Well, except the jury because they presumably won’t have seen the tweet.)

    • Beverly says:

      Shameful, and I hope he learns that, if he doesn’t know, and I hope the Judge schools him very stringently. He needs it and needs not to “chew” in court. He clearly does not understand “repulsive,” and that’s sad.

      • Deborah Moore says:

        You’re right, Beverly. People like that make me just shake my head. I’m learning waaaay too much about the ugliness of folks during this trial.
        (Guess I should climb out from under my rock once in a while.)

        • Beverly says:

          Funny, I feel that way as well, and I have not had a “protected” life. And W cannot blame his wayward daughters b/c he was the “head cheerleader.” Truly amazing…..I really have been sick watching part of this trial, such as the cruelty to R. and the dead, empty eyes of the defendant. Let alone the guy today…

    Yesterday in the video of fogen I believe he said SheLie was in school to be an RN. Exactly how long had she been in school?

    • lurker says:

      She told the court back in the first bond hearing that she was just days or weeks from graduating.

      I think the real scoop is that she was in an online medical assisting program–and probably didn’t finish.

      • KA says:

        I think it was 2010 the last time she was enrolled.

      • fauxmccoy says:

        lurker — this is absolutely the truth. i have researched this considerably.

        shellie held no previous medical licenses. she attended an online university. although it is possible to obtain medical licenses from online classes, a person has to start that online education from the education level they currently possess. that is, an LPN/LVN can study online to get an RN, a CNA can study online to become an LPN/LVN, a novice must start off to get a CNA. also necessary to apply for a license is practical hands-on care performed under supervision.

        therefore — the most shellie could be studying for would be a CNA and she had not completed the hands-on portion necessary.

        bottom line: george is to cop as shellie is to nurse.

    • Xena says:

      @disappointed. Good question. Another good question is how does a person become an RN through an online school?

  538. HappyinNM says:

    I just was directed to this blog, and don’t have all the information you all have worked so hard to collect. I have a question that’s been bugging me. Z said Trayson slipped between the buildings (the dog path). MOM became almost vicious when W1 said she saw the tussle headed toward the T (from left to right). Is there any significance to that?

    • cielo62 says:

      Happy~ Yes, becasue gz stated that the entire altercation began AT the T. Instead each witness has stated that it never got as far as the T. hence gz is LYING.

      ________________________________

    • IMBack says:

      Yes because if the “tussle” went from left to right, according to W1, that means, GZ walked down Twin Trees Land and cut Trayvon off as he was closer to his dads house than the T, then that would mean Trayvon ran or turned and walked back toward the T, in order to get away from Z, to get to where his body was located.

  539. willisnewton says:

    because the state entered into evidence the clip of gz trolling the mail kiosk, i suspect they know about the sequence of events but I wish they would get to it sooner

    • Sophia33 says:

      Does such a clip really exist?

      • willisnewton says:

        Yes – the timing may be in question but only by a small margin. It’s the only car in the area around the time the NEN call was placed.

        • Sophia33 says:

          Hmmmm…very interesting.

        • ladystclaire says:

          There is even a video of the clubhouse, where you can see his mug for a short second but, it’s him lurking around and, that’s what matters. it’s further proof of him stalking a 17 YR old kid before he killed him.

          • willisnewton says:

            I don’t agree that he walked around the clubhouse, or that his face is ever seen. I endorse whonoze’s video and the conclusions it makes.

        • Xena says:

          @willisnewton. I looked at that video again last night. Like you, I wish the State would hurry up and bring on the expert to testify to what the videos evidence.

          When I watched last night and compared to GZ’s NEN call, when the car passes the mail boxes is when GZ said “He has a button on his shirt. And he’s black.” That indicates that GZ drove ahead of Trayvon to see him face-forward.

          Had GZ seen Trayvon standing in front of Taaffe’s before he made the call, that button and his race would not have been up to question.

          • willisnewton says:

            Actually GZ says this as TM approached his car, which was parked where GZ marked it on the map he drew for SIngleton, right by the mail kiosk, FACING the mail kiosk form the first bend in TTL. There is a streetlight on that corner that TM would have passed thru the beam of.

            GZ worked hard to omit and obscure this, and scratched out this position almost as soon as he marked it on SInglton’s map. It proves he chased the teen with his car, causing the teen to run and demonstrating he was the agressor from before the time he exited his car.

  540. disappointed says:

    As far as the State’s motion concerning West and spawn it concerns me because Rachel will be back. I think now it is inappropriate for West to questions her, period. His spawn degraded this poor girl. jmo

      • disappointed says:

        Can I comment there too? It should concern everyone. It seems like a bias or something. Not sure what word I need to describe my thought but dang it, it should be illegal to intimidate witness. That’s it. I feel like he has intimidated her.

        • bettykath says:

          Since Rachel is subject to recall, I believe she is forbidden to talk to anyone about the case. Is she allowed to watch the case? I think not but it’s honor system. Right?

          • disappointed says:

            true but it is obvious how west feels about her. and so does the court now. you do not have to like the girl it about respecting the system. this is not respect.

        • lurker says:

          Excellent description.

          Particularly when the defense has put so much emphasis on the use of social media.

          • disappointed says:

            and just because she is suppose to come back does not mean she will not hear anything. She is not suppose to seek it out. What if she is listening to the radio and it comes up before she can change the station. She has now heard whether she meant to or not.

        • Of course you can comment. We just want to bring attention to what West did. I feel it’s clear intimidation where she’ll become discouraged and fearful and give in to West’s scary tactics. West disrespects the judge and pretty much ignores the judge’s decision and argues with her. He needs off the case!

          • disappointed says:

            Thank you! I will book mark it and check it often.

          • ladystclaire says:

            @SG2, I’ve already commented on your site as to how I feel about this Pest questioning this kid again. it’s not right seeing how he dissed her on the stand and, the judge should not allow him to question her again.

            She told the court what she heard and, he should not be given even more of a chance to put words in this girls mouth. Pest is the most disgusting excuse for a human being, that I have ever seen. of course O’dirty is a close second with Fogen taking honorable mention over the entire lot of them.
