Zimmerman's Lawyers Ignore the Law to Paint Trayvon as a Brawling Pot Head

Alexander Abad-Santos May 28, 2013 

 

With less than two weeks until George Zimmerman goes on trial for second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, the judge in his case ruled Tuesday that that some of his defense team's key evidence — including Martin's history of "violence" and marijuana use — will not be allowed in court. But the way George Zimmerman's defense team has been handling things, well, they're making sure to leak enough that the jury is aware of every last absurd detail about Trayvon Martin anyway.
The pre-trial hearing dealt with a number of defense requests — Zimmerman's motion to delay was denied, and the trial will begin June 10 — but the defense lost almost all of them. The Orlando Sentinel's Jeff Weiner has the play-by-play on Judge Debra S. Nelson's key decisions:

The judge already has ruled this morning on several key issues: The defense may not bring up Trayvon Martin's past marijuana use at trial, or his past school suspensions or participation in fights, without clearing several legal hurdles and another ruling granting permission.
The attorneys also cannot mention during their opening arguments that the active ingredient of marijuana was found in the teen's system, the judge ruled.

Zimmerman's defense team has long sought to establish that Martin may have been high and that his judgment may have been impaired on February 26, 2012 — the night he was shot and killed after buying some Skittles. "We have a lot of evidence that marijuana use had something to do with the event," Zimmerman's lead attorney, Mark O'Mara, said during today's pretrial hearing. "It could have affected his behavior."  READ MORE

Hmmm...  to see it you need to blow it up.  Let me see if I can get a photoshop version up.

AxiomAmnesia  Has witness #13's interviews on tape

http://zimmerman-vs-martin.blogspot.com/2013/06/who-were-those-people-or-did-witness-11.html

Witness #13 Summary:

He said he didn’t see the actual incident. He went outside after the shooting. George Zimmerman was out of breath and “acting like he had just gotten his butt beat.” He asked Zimmerman if he needed him to call 911. He states he called Zimmerman’s wife while he was being cuffed and explained what was happening. Zimmerman blurted out, “Just tell her that I shot someone.” He says Zimmerman was very matter of fact–like it wasn’t a big deal.

9-1-1 Call:

None

Interviews:

The following interviews are the full, uncut audio files released as part of the discovery court proceedings in the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Names and some other identifying information have been redacted to protect the identities of the witnesses.  HERE

See the problem?  If Zimmerman's claims were true there would be blood on Trayvon's hands,  DNA under his nails and no people "bending the corner"  as witness 11 says here,  since they both would
be there at the "T".   Instead the body is found 45 feet away,  near the phone and the shell casing,  meaning that the shot was fired right there,  not 45 feet south of there.   Now: 
Q1: Who fired the shot?
Q2: Who held who by the clothing?
Q3 Who refused to meet the police away from where Trayvon lived?
Q4 Who should not have been anywhere near Trayvon with a weapon?
Q5 Why did GZ refused to identify himself as the guy keeping the neighborhood safe?
Q6: Why did the "friendly neiborhood watch guy" draw and fire his gun on an unarmed kid,  without first trying to introduce himself and talk to the child?  Isn't that what people normally do?

Does O'Mara's discovery contain a fake photo?

The two photos appear to contain the exact same pose in the exact same position,  where the only thing that appears to have moved is the hand.   Who doesn't move one millimeter between photos,  even while raising a hand?   Don't believe it?  Try doing it yourself.  Remember the picture on the left is an old photo and the one on the right is an exact copy,  so it has to be just as old.  Thus,  the two photos would have been taken at the same time.
Now here's an animated gif of the two:

HERE'S A THREAD ON THE TEXT MESSAGES

EXCERPT:

Do you realize that the defense added photos, claiming they are Trayvon, that are taken from social media sites. One of them from a video of which Trayvon’s brother had said over a year ago that is not Trayvon?
The defense knows this stuff is never going be entered into evidence. O’Mara pretty much admitted to that. The stuff is never going to be tested for what it actually meant. Its sole
purpose is to sway public opinion and to poison the jury pool.
You want to know the real Trayvon. Read the exchange with Sybrina again. That is Trayvon with the person who knows him best in a complete exchange.  READ MORE

Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism by

James W. Loewen
Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism

From Maine to California, thousands of communities kept out African Americans (or sometimes Chinese Americans, Jewish Americans, etc.) by force, law, or custom. These communities are sometimes called "sundown towns" because some of them posted signs at their city limits reading, typically, "Nigger, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On You In ___." Some towns are still all white on purpose. Their chilling stories have been joined more recently by the many elite (and some not so elite) suburbs like Grosse Pointe, MI, or Edina, MN, that have excluded nonwhites by "kinder gentler means." When I began this research, I expected to find about 10 sundown towns in Illinois (my home state) and perhaps 50 across the country. Instead, I have found more than 440 in Illinois and thousands across the United States. This is their story; it is the first book ever written on the topic.
