Updated article: http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/juror-b29-speaks-out-says-she-owes-trayvon-martin-/nY4By/

My thoughts on updated article:
I have a lot of respect for jurors, and was concerned about Juror B29 when I read she did an interview and came forth full face.  After reading what she apparently stated, now I ask, why did she give the interview "full face?"

Juror B29 was for 2nd degree murder, feels GZ got away with murder, but couldn't find him guilty of 2nd degree murder.  Couldn't find him guilty of manslaughter either, YET found him "not guilty" of murder according to the law. 

But the kicker, is she feels the case shouldn't have gone to trial in the first place and that it was a publicity stunt.  WTF?  Yet was going to be the juror to give them a "hung jury" to the end. Again WTF?

People are going to take her words "forcefully" included in TM death the wrong way, as I take it as she was FORCED TO BE A JUROR AND TO FOLLOW THE LAW!


IMO, When Robin Roberts asked Juror B29 "people are saying George Zimmerman got away with murder", how would you respond to people that say that? Juror B29, paused, and answered: "George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God."

So it's not that Juror 29 is saying George Zimmerman got away with murder, but just answering Robin's question with an answer ... "but you can't get away from God."

OF COURSE, I really need to hear the entire interview on Friday.

First Congressional Black Caucus on Men and Boys - July 24, 2013

By: TrayvonGeorge

 

 

 

Tracy Martin Speaks around 13:00

 

My thoughts:

I watched the First Congressional Black Caucus on Men and Boys and I was a bit taken back. I listened to all the speeches on how Black Men and Boys have such a difficult time because of the color of their skin. Then I looked around in the room, looking at all the speakers, including women and wondered, "how the hell did they all get as far as they did in their professional life, if the color of their skin, was a block in the road of their life?"

They spoke about showing love, protection and being valued in the world. Isn't that what every parent wants for their child in this world? We want our children to be loved, we want to protect them, and most of all value their life.

I listened to young black boys being trapped in girl's loins as the black teens logic goes out the window. This one threw me for a loop, because we all know, whether the skin is black, brown, white, purple or green, when teens get together, and their hormones sore, logic goes out the window. This is clearly not a black issues, but all race issue and has been forever, and will continue that way.

There was a lot of discussion about how black children are not prepared for kindergarten. Well, it is the parent's responsibility to prepare their children for kindergarten. Parents are suppose to teach their children right from wrong, learn their name, even spell it, and the basics of getting along with other children, manners, and so much more before the child goes to kindergarten.

Children that are not prepared for kindergarten is not a black issues, but just plain ole lazy parents who do not take the time to help their children, but let them sit in front of the TV or game boxes to let them pass the time of day. How can any child be prepared for kindergarten sitting in front of the TV.

Black children in school not being able to read or write up to the level they should be and let's blame the school. There are many children of all races not working to their level of school. The child is not motivated, just doesn't care, parents don't care, teachers try but you can't make a child work in class, or even do their homework.

They spoke about black children being in day care for 35 to 40 hours a week so mothers, or fathers can work 35 to 40 hours a week. Well damn, my child was in daycare also for 40 hours a week so I could work as a single parent to provide a roof over our heads, as his deadbeat father didn't pay child support.

What really stood out to me was one professional man, I think a Congressman, spoke about if he didn't have his member's pin on, that people would think "why is he here, or should he be here?" I'm assuming perhaps in a Congressional Building somewhere in Washington, DC.

I have to say, white people just don't think that way. I'm beginning to think that black people are thinking way to much of what white people might be thinking, when white people are really not thinking anything at all. White people also voted for a black President.

We can't coddle black children or brown or white children. We need to teach them life, and how difficult it can be as we become adults. We need to teach them that fighting, bullying, stealing, killing, drugs are wrong and not the road to take to get things in life.

We can't rely on big companies like Pepsico or Wal-Mart to dig deeper into their pockets to help black children as there are also white and brown children that need help too! There are inner-city white and brown families that are suffering also, as well as all races of the elderly.

Do we look at black children/teens when they walk in a store and perhaps watch them as they walk through the isles? Yup, it happens, but it happens when any child/teen walks into a store and starts looking around. Children will steal, adults of all races steal. If someone wants something, the thrill of stealing is their fix in life. I have seen black women, white woman stuffing things in their purses as I look at them and they have no reaction.

 

 Many children of all races, do not have a father in their lives. My son didn't have his father in his life either, and I made sure that I instilled in him "right from wrong." I will agree that the best way to a young male is through another older adult male, and this goes for all races in life, not just within the black race.

Trayvon Martin was not the perfect teen, and to have this First Congressional Black Caucus on Men and Boys indicate that Trayvon is a martyr, was just over the top. Clearly this was not the case at all and this Caucus totally missed the point on what happened between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.

Tracy Martin received a "standing ovation" basically as a good parent etc., etc. Well Tracy had no clue why his son was suspended from school three times, and the other bad choices his son made in life. Tracy Martin needs to own that and not focus on a 9 year old child pulling him out of the apartment when he left oil on the stove.

George Zimmerman Jurors

On The Zimmerman Jurors

By Professor Andrew Ferguson

The debate over the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman jury verdict continues to reverberate as is typical of most high profile, racially divisive cases in this country. Even though the criminal case is over, the issues of race, class, gender, and justice remain loudly contested in a way that will not likely quiet soon.

Why Didn't Tracy Martin Call His Son's Cellphone When He Wasn't Home?

What bothers me still is:  "Why didn't Tracy Martin call his son's cellphone once he got home from the dinner they attended especially since Trayvon went to the store to get a drink & skittles for his half-brother?"

Although Tracy stated on Nancy Grace:

GRACE: When did you first learn that something was wrong?

MARTIN: I didn`t learn until the next morning that something was wrong. Trayvon was up there with my nephew, and both of them were responsible kids.

GRACE: Right.

MARTIN: And I knew that they wanted to go to the movies. I knew that they wanted to go and get something to eat. So we...

GRACE: What were they going to go see? What did they want to go see so badly?

MARTIN: I didn`t -- I don`t know what movie was out (ph). If I`m not mistaken, it may have been -- it was a movie. I don`t know what movie was out. It was a kid`s movie, a comedy.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1307/19/ng.01.html

You would think Tracy would ask his other son, "where is Trayvon" and I would hope the child answered: "went to the store to get me some skittles and he never came back."

My instant reaction would be to call my son on the phone and check on him, just not assume my son just decided not to bring the skittles to his half-brother who was waited for him at home.

Instead Tracy Martin did nothing. He didn't know what movie his son and nephew were attending.  He didn't call his nephew to see if Trayvon was with him or perhaps staying at his nephew's house once the movie was over.  Didn't this father have a plan with his son, to let him know whether he was coming home that night or not?

Parents need to get their act together.  Like Rachael Jeantel states at the age of 17, we are ONLY teenagers. Basically not capable of making "good" decisions in life.

Is Sybrina Fulton Carrying A Double Burden Of Guilt And Grief?

 

Exactly why did  Sybrina throw her 17 year old son out of the house in the first place?   Was it for fighting in school, or buying and selling guns, or perhaps smoking weed or maybe his relationship with Rachael Jeantel?

There is no greater burden for a mother to bare when she throws her teenage child out of the house for something they have done and the teenage child ends up dead days later.

The mother wants the person who killed her teenage child to pay, but is she also wanting the person who killed her teenage child to help ease the mother's guilt for kicking the teenage child out of the house in the first place.

I am sure Sybrina is saying, "if only I didn't kick Trayvon out of the house." Just like Sybrina is saying "if only Trayvon didn't punch George Zimmerman in the face" or the known statement "if only it didn't happen that way."

In the end, Sybrina will carry the guilt of throwing Trayvon out of the house, and also carry the guilt, that her teenage son, punched and beat a person for no valid reason at all, and is now deceased.

We don't know what the last words were spoken between Sybrina and Trayvon before he was sent packing to his father's place.  Were they heated words?  Was it "I'm doing this because I can't handle you anymore?"   Did Sybrina hug and kiss her son as he left and say "I love you."   Chances are they were heated words, and with any teenager pissed off at his parent(s) will say "fuck you, I'm atta here!"

 

Note: My son, when he was 17, was hard to handle when he was in his first relationship.  He didn't like my rules and he left.  I had no clue where he was and searched all over the place for him.  In the end, he ended up at my girlfriend's home, and he was welcomed to stay there until things cooled down.  Thankfully my girlfriend's husband was a major influence on my son.

 

In the end, it took a few days before my son called, and eventually he came home and we worked out the issues at hand. 

 

 

Zimmerman Defense Comments on President Obama’s Remarks - July 19, 2013

We have listened to President Obama’s comments about the verdict in the Zimmerman Case. People are focusing on this quote: “Trayvon Martin could’ve been me 35 years ago.” To focus on this one line misses the nuances of the President’s message, which includes comments about how African Americans view the Zimmerman Case in the context of the history of racial disparity in America.

Transcript

SPEAKERS: WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JAY CARNEY
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
QUESTION: Whoa!
OBAMA: That’s so disappointing, man.
QUESTION: What’re you doing here?
OBAMA: Jay, is this the kind of respect that you get?
(LAUGHTER)
You know, on television, it usually looks like you’re
addressing a full room.
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: I got you. All right. Sorry about that. Do you
think anybody else is showing up? Good.
Well, I wanted to come out here, first of all, to tell you
that Jay is prepared for all your questions, and is very much
looking forward to the session.
Second thing is, I want to let you know that over the next
couple of weeks, there are going to obviously be a whole range
of issues — immigration, economics, et cetera. We’ll try to
arrange a fuller press conference to address your questions.
The reason I actually wanted to come out today is not to
take questions, but to speak to an issue that’s obviously gotten
a lot of attention over the course of the last week, the issue
of the Trayvon Martin ruling.
I gave a preliminary statement right after the ruling on
Sunday, but watching the debate over the course of the last
week, I thought it might be useful for me to expand on my
thoughts a little bit.
First of all, I want to make sure that once again I send my
thought and prayers, as well as Michelle’s, to the family of
Trayvon Martin, and to remark on the incredible grace and
dignity with which they’ve dealt with the entire situation. I
can only imagine what they’re going through and it’s remarkable
how they’ve handled it.
OBAMA: The second thing I want to say is to reiterate what
I said on Sunday, which is there are going to be a lot of
arguments about the legal — the legal issues in the case. I’ll
let all the legal analysts and talking heads address those
issues.
The judge conducted the trial in a professional manner.
The prosecution and the defense made their arguments. The
juries (sic) were properly instructed that in a — in a case
such as this, reasonable doubt was relevant. And they rendered
a verdict.
And once the jury’s spoken, that’s how our system works.
But I did want to just talk a little bit about context and
how people have responded to it and how people are feeling.
You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that
this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is
Trayvon Martin could have been me, 35 years ago.
And when you think about why, in the African-American
community at least, there’s a lot of pain around what happened
here, I think it’s important to recognize that the
African-American community is looking at this issue through a
set of experiences and a — and a history that — that doesn’t
go away.
There are very few African-American men in this country who
haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were
shopping in a department store. That includes me.
OBAMA: There are probably very few African-American men
who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and
hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to
me — at least before I was a senator.
There are very few African-Americans who haven’t had the
experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her
purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to
get off. That happens often.
And, you know, I — I don’t want to exaggerate this, but
those sets of experiences inform how the African-American
community interprets what happened one night in Florida.
And it’s inescapable for people to bring those experiences
to bear.
The African-American community is also knowledgeable that
there is a history racial disparities in the application of our
criminal laws, everything from the death penalty to enforcement
of our drug laws. And that ends up having an impact in terms of
how people interpret the case.
Now, this isn’t to say that the African-American community
is naive about the fact that African-American young men are
disproportionately involved in the criminal justice system, that
they’re disproportionately both victims and perpetrators of
violence. It’s not to make excuses for that fact.
OBAMA: Although, black folks do interpret the reasons for
that in a historical context. They understand that, some of the
violence that takes place in poor black neighborhoods around the
country is born out of a very violent past in this country. And
that the poverty and dysfunction that we see in those
communities can be traced to a very difficult history.
And so, the fact that sometimes that’s unacknowledged adds
to the frustration. And the fact that a lot of Africa-American
boys are painted with a broad brush and the excuses given,
“Well, there are these statistics out there that show that
African-American boys are more violent,” using that as an excuse
to then see sons treated differently causes pain.
I think the African-American community is also not naive in
understanding that, statistically, somebody like Trayvon Martin
was probably, statistically, more likely to be shot by a peer
than he was by somebody else.
So — so folks understand the challenges that exist for
African- American boys. But they get frustrated, I think, if
they feel that there’s no context for it, or — and that context
is being denied. And — and that all contributes, I think, to a
sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of
scenario that, from top to bottom, both the outcome and the
aftermath might have been different.
OBAMA: Now, the question, for me, at least, and — and I
think for a lot of folks is, “Where do we take this? How — how
do we learn some lessons from this and move in a positive
direction?”
You know, I think it’s understandable that there have been
demonstrations and vigils and protests and some of that is just
going to have to work its way through as long as it remains
nonviolent. If I see any violence, then I will remind folks
that that dishonors what happened to Trayvon Martin and his
family.
But beyond protests or vigils, the question is: Are there
some concrete things that we might be able to do? I know that
Eric Holder is reviewing what happened down there, but I think
it’s important for people to have some clear expectations here.
Traditionally, these are issues of state and local government.
The criminal code and law enforcement is traditionally done at
the state and local levels, not at the federal levels.
That doesn’t mean, though, that as a nation, we can’t do
some things that I think would be productive. So let me just
give a couple of specifics that I’m still bouncing around with
my staff, you know, so we’re not rolling out some five-point
plan, but some areas where I think all of us could potentially
focus.
OBAMA: Number one, precisely because law enforcement is
often determined at the state and local level, I think it would
be productive for the Justice Department, governors, mayors to
work with law enforcement about training at the state and local
levels in order to reduce the kind of mistrust in the system
that sometimes currently exists.
You know, when I was in Illinois, I passed racial profiling
legislation, and it actually did just two simple things. One,
it collected data on traffic stops and the race of the person
who was stopped, but the other things was it resourced us
training police departments across the state on how to think
about potential racial bias, and ways to further professionalize
what they were doing.
And, initially, the police departments across the state
were resistant, but actually they came to recognize that if it
was done in a fair, straightforward way that, it would allow
them to do their jobs better and communities would have more
confidence in them, and in turn be more helpful in — in
applying the law. And, obviously, law enforcement’s got a very
tough job.
So that’s one area where I think there are a lot of
resources and best practices that could be brought to bear, if
state and local governments are receptive, and I think a lot of
them would be. And let’s figure out, are there ways for us to
push out that kind of training.
Along the same lines, I think it would be useful for us to
examine some state and — and local laws to see if it — if they
are designed in such a way that they may encourage the kinds of
altercations and confrontations and tragedies that we saw in the
Florida case, rather than diffuse potential altercations.
OBAMA: I know that there’s been commentary about the fact
that the “Stand Your Ground” laws in Florida were not used as a
defense in the case.
On the other hand, if we’re sending a message as a society
in our communities that someone who is armed potentially has the
right to use those firearms, even if there’s a way for them to
exit from a situation, is that really going to be contributing
to the kind of peace and security and order that we’d like to
see?
And for those who — who resist that idea, that we should
think about something like these Stand Your Ground laws, I just
ask people to consider, if Trayvon Martin was of age and armed,
could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk? And do we
actually think that he would have been justified in shooting Mr.
Zimmerman, who had followed him in a car, because he felt
threatened? And if the answer to that question is at least
ambiguous, then it seems to me that we might want to examine
those kinds of laws.
Number three — and this is a long-term project — we need
to spend some time in thinking about how do we bolster and
reinforce our African-American boys? And this is something that
Michelle and I talk a lot about. There are a lot of kids out
there who need help, who are getting a lot of negative
reinforcement. And is there more that we can do to give them
the sense that their country cares about them, and values them,
and is willing to invest in them?
You know, I’m not naive about the prospects of some grand
new federal program. I’m not sure that that’s what we’re
talking about here. But I — I do recognize that, as president,
I’ve got some convening power. And there are a lot of good
programs that are being done across the country on this front.
And for us to be able to gather together business leaders and
local elected officials and clergy and celebrities and athletes
and figure out, how are we doing a better job helping young
African-American men feel that they’re a full part of this
society and that — and that they’ve got pathways and avenues to
succeed? You know, I think that would be a pretty good outcome
from what was, obviously, a tragic situation. And we’re going
to spend some time working on that and thinking about that.
And then, finally, I think it’s going to be important for
all of us to do some soul-searching. You know, there’s been
talk about, should we convene a conversation on race? I haven’t
seen that be particularly productive when, you know, politicians
try to organize conversations. They end up being stilted and
politicized, and folks are locked into the positions they
already have.
On the other hand, in families and churches and workplaces,
there’s a possibility that people are a little bit more honest
and at least you ask yourself your own questions about, am I
wringing as much bias out of myself as I can? Am I judging
people as much as I can based on not the color of their skin,
but the content of their character? That would, I think, be an
appropriate exercise in the wake of this tragedy.
OBAMA: And let me just leave you with — with the final
thought that, as difficult and challenging as this whole episode
has been for a lot of people, I don’t want us to lose sight that
things are getting better. Each successive generation seems to
be making progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race.
It doesn’t mean we’re in a post-racial society. It doesn’t mean
that racism is eliminated.
But, you know, when I talk to Malia and Sasha and I listen
to their friends and I see them interact, they’re better than we
are. They’re better than we were on these issues. And that’s
true in every community that I’ve visited all across the
country. And so, you know, we have to be vigilant. And we have
to work on these issues. And those of us in authority should be
doing everything we can to encourage the better angels of our –
nature as opposed to using these episodes to heighten divisions.
But we should also have confidence that kids these days, I
think, have more sense than we did back then and certainly more
than our parents did or our grandparents did, and that along
this long and difficult journey, you know, we’re becoming a more
perfect union, not a perfect union, but a more perfect union.
All right?
Thank you, guys.
QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

Part One

 

Part Two

An Open Tweet To The George Zimmerman Jurors!

First of all, thank you for sacrificing your lives for over a month to sit on the jury.

Secondly, I am sure you all are emotionally and mentally drained after a very long, yet fast paced trial.

Thirdly, don't listen to the Internet chatter regarding your decision as you all made a collective decision based solely on whether George Zimmerman was in fear for his life and justifiable in shooting Trayvon Martin.

As you start to watch TV coverage, should you even decide to do it, you will learn even more of what didn't come out in the trial and it will confirm your decision even more.

And lastly, I highly suggest that you do NOT speak to the media in any form, as it will only add fuel to the fire to the people who really didn't understand your decision or the fact that it had nothing to do with George following Trayvon.  It had ONLY to do with the confrontation, the fact that Trayvon punched George in the nose, and the one-sided fight on the ground.

The NEW 911 Call Format For Reporting A Suspicious Person

Dispatcher: Do you need police, fire or ambulance

Caller: Police

Dispatcher: What is it that you want to report?

Caller: I was driving down the street and I noticed this teenager, walking around in the rain, with his hand in his waistband looking in houses.

Dispatcher: Is it a male or female?

Caller: I'm not sure!

Dispatcher: You can't see if it is a male or female?

Caller: I rather not say!

Dispatcher: OK, is this person, black, white or Hispanic

Caller: I rather not say!

Dispatcher: Your going to have to give us some identity of the person, so when we come out there we can look for the person.

Caller: I know sir, but if I give you the race and gender, and something happens, then I will be charged with racial profiling.

Dispatcher: WHAT?

Dispatcher: In order to help, we need some information.  Which way is this person going?

Caller: I'm not sure, because I am actually lost and was turning around when I spotted this person.

Dispatcher: Can you see a house number, or perhaps drive down a little to see a street sign so we can help you?

Caller: If I drive down, and anything happens, I will be charged with following someone.

Dispatcher: It's not against the law to follow someone, and we are not asking you to follow, just need a street.

Caller: Can you have the police call me when they get here.

Dispatcher: We can, but we need to know what street you are on.

Caller: Never mind, forget I ever called. Hang up.

Dispatcher: calling back, we have located you through your cellphone, stay there and we will meet you shortly. 

Caller: No thank you.  I will find my way out of here myself.

Dispatcher: Do you still see the person walking around?

Caller: Yes

Dispatcher: Is he doing something right now?

Caller: Yes

Dispatcher: And your not willing to at least describe the person?

My thoughts:

As I listen to Pierre Thomas on Good Morning America, still pushing that Trayvon Martin was profiled and the fact that mothers are telling their black teenagers not to walk into a store with their hands in their pockets and wear hoodies. Really Pierre, is that is what black parents are telling their children.

First of all, the hoodie has nothing at all to do with what happened to Trayvon or the fact he was even at the store. George did not profile Trayvon. What he saw was a teenager, acting strange, in the rain, moving here, there and everywhere. He called the non emergency number to let them handle the situation.

The key to this case, and it will always be the key to this case, is the fact that Trayvon came up on George Zimmerman, words were exchanged, and then Trayvon punched George in the face and knocking him to the ground, getting on top of George, beating his head into the cement, and end result, George shot Trayvon.

Do I wish it could have gone another way? You bet I do, and I have stated from the beginning when all the 911 calls were released to the public, with all the people NOT wanting to help the person screaming. All they wanted to do was not get involved, they wanted to hide, instead of going out and doing something. Yes, some people did go out, but told them to stop, then left them there and went into the house to call 911.

People want to refer to Trayvon as a child. I'll give them the child factor, however, there is a child who smokes marijuana, buys and sells guns, gets into fights, and lost one fight, yet boasted about winning the other two fights, and we have a child who wanted to find a gun once he arrived in Sanford.

You better believe, if Trayvon was packing a gun, Trayvon would have had that gun in his hands when he confronted George Zimmerman. Teenagers have no "life-filter", they do things without ever thinking the consequences of life. They do things just for the hell of it, just to see how it feel to do it.

On Saturday, as the jurors were deliberating, people were gathering outside the courthouse. Many adults not even capable of controlling their own emotions, and then on top of it, bring their children, who clearly do not even understand what actually happened. Although, my thoughts are the parents were telling their children a black child was killed because he had a fruit drink and skittles. That would sure as hell leave a lasting impression inside a child's mind. Heck, it would add fear into their lives.

Parents should read the tweets their children are tweeting, when you have a 15 year old that wants to kill George Zimmerman, or a 16 year old that want to commit a "mass" homicide if George is found not guilty. This is the youth of today folks, call them a child if you want, but you better bet that if the youth of today wants something from you, regardless of their color, they are going to get it, and not give a rat's ass either.

My frustrations continue to stream out of my pores this morning over the hatred of the six woman on the jury. I really had to sit on my hands Saturday night, because I knew if I didn't I would have started my own Twitter riot.

People tweeting Florida can't get it right. I find that statement to be the most ignorant statement ever made. Living in Florida has nothing at all to do with how verdicts are rendered.

I was even surprised that white women were so critical of white women on the jury. I can understand black women, and black men, going off the deep end as I wouldn't expect anything less, but for six white woman, one of which, has 8 children, clearly knows what teenagers are capable of doing.

There was a tweet from a black woman who stated: "I bet those white woman hold onto their purses when they see a black person coming close to them, maybe even crossing the street." Really, is that what you think white women do when we see a black person coming close to us? This is the ignorance of the people today.

The worst tweet of all coming from a black woman who states: "the jurors are "white" racist cowards." I took that thought to bed with me, and struggled with those words all night long. Who the hell thinks like that in this world? Really, really, ignorant, stupid people think this way.

George Zimmerman Trial - Day 13 - Part 2 (Closing Arguments)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrNemHVvr90


My thoughts:

I have to digest my thoughts regarding the closing. 

What Would My Verdict Be In The George Zimmerman Trial? July 11, 2013

Both sides have rested in the George Zimmerman Trial, and I have listened to all the witnesses, questioned by both the State and the Defense.  Included in all, I listened to George Zimmerman's statements, stress voice analysis, written statements and reenactments.

Although the public was privy to seeing parts of the animation created by the Defense, of which, is not in evidence, but can be used in closing and the "oops" moment when the State brought in the dummy, so State Attorney Guy can get on top of the dummy, leaving a very visual moment for the  jurors to picture Trayvon on top of George.

As when O'Mara had his moment with the dummy, he also illustrated being on top of the dummy again showing the jurors Trayvon on top of George.

Sadly the jurors were not able to see Trayvon's cellphone texts with his back and forth conversations regarding a fight his lost in the first round, but won the second and third round and basically wanted more, he wanted to make this person bleed. Nor where they able to see the texts about selling guns or wanting to buy a gun when he gets to Sanford.

The Defense did not bring in that Trayvon had marijuana in his system, and not sure why they didn't, but I figure it was to be respectful to the parents.

The only part that I can consider regarding Trayvon is that he played football.  Football players are trained to be able to defend themselves, stop and tackle another player.  They go through daily routine work-outs on the football field pushing a heavy dummy on a track to build up their stamina. 

I will say this though, should this be a hung jury for whatever reason, all that wasn't in evidence, is now public information, and has been made available for everyone to read or watch.

Now, where do I stand with my verdict regarding George Zimmerman.  Since the decision has to be made solely on the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin confrontation and whether George shot Trayvon in self-defense.  In order for me to do this, the call has now ended with the dispatcher, and George started to head down the walkway in that open area behind the townhouses looking for an address to give the police when they call him when they arrive in the community.

In the meantime, while George is starting to go back, Trayvon is still on his phone with Rachael Jeantel telling her that George is getting closer, and it is known that George didn't see Trayvon just before he ended his call with the dispatcher, as George was concerned about giving his address to the dispatcher.

Now Trayvon, according to the State and Defense, was about 348 feet (116 yards) from the apartment where he was staying with his father and girlfriend.  All that Trayvon had to do was stay right where he was and let George continue back to his vehicle, and at that point, George would have waited for the police to arrive, and Trayvon could have slipped into father's girlfriend's apartment, close the door, and it would have been a "moot" situation, because by that point, no one knew where Trayvon was any longer.

However, that didn't happen.  Trayvon came out from hiding and came upon George, and while Trayvon was still on the phone with Rachael, asked George "why was he following him or what is your problem?"   It is known that one voice was deep and had an angry tone, according to one of the witnesses, and the other voice was soft tone with a higher pitch,

As soon as George responds to Trayvon, although NOT heard by Rachael, if I recall correctly, Rachael then hears a bump.  Now we know Rachael softened the word to "bump" since she used "punch" earlier in her deposition and I believe, but not 100% sure used it on the stand.

It is very obvious based on George's face and nose, based on Rachael saying she heard a bump, Trayvon punched George in the face and knocked him down on the ground.

Rachael claims she heard "wet grass", but we all know she actually meant that she could hear perhaps shoes or snickers sliding on the wet grass.  Now Rachael stated she also heard "get off, get off", and I'm not sure she did, but if she did, they that would be George telling Trayvon to get off of him, because Trayvon is on top of George.

George had stated just as Trayvon confronted George, George put his hand in his pocket looking for his cellphone, but the phone was in another pocket.  Remember, George was telling the dispatcher that Trayvon had his hand in his waist band at some point.

Of course we all know about the end with the Skittles & Arizona can of juice, but you can't put them in when deciding because at the moment, George may have thought Trayvon was packing a gun. 

We also know George had a gun and could have taken out his gun and held Trayvon there until the cops arrived,  However, there was no reason in those few seconds before the punch to hold Trayvon at gun point.

Once Trayvon punched George in the face, Trayvon attacked George, threw the first punch and now George was placed in a position to fight back.  However, George is not a fighter, but Trayvon is, but again, I can't consider Trayvon's other fights.

With George on the bottom, and no injuries at all to Trayvon's face by scratches from George, or punches to Trayvon's face by George, it appears that all George was trying to do, IF, he did anything at all was protect his face from any further blows to his face, or perhaps try and protect his head from being pounded into the concrete, all by the abrasions on the back of George's head.

It is very clear to me that it was George screaming for help, and with the fear in George's voice, with people actually coming outside for seconds, George knew no one was going to help him.  Once the shifting of hands and body during the one sided fight, George's gun became exposed.  Once the gun was in view, it was a split-second decision that George took the gun out and shot Trayvon.

As an "in-home" juror, taking out that Trayvon was a 17 year old black male, and George a Hispanic adult male, there was a confrontation, started by one individual with the punch to the another individual, and in the end, Trayvon died.

My verdict would be "not guilty."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HamFcT15IW8

My thoughts:
I was surprised to see Tracey Martin on the Defense witness list and not on the State's list. Watching as an "in-home" juror, I am sure the jurors seated were also wondering the same thing.  The state could have called Mr. Martin and let him speak about what he stated the day he heard the 911 call, however, leaving him off the stand left many questions unanswered.

With two seasoned police investigators testifying what they heard Mr. Martin stated, only leaves the door open for the jurors to believe or not believe Mr. Martin. My heart did go out for Mr. Martin as you can see the pain of losing his son is still at the surface of his life.

It really bothered me to learn that the 911 call was played in a room, officiated my the mayor, without the presence of the Chief of Police or any Law Enforcement officials present.  The tape should have been played individually to each family member rather than have a room full of family listening to the tape.

Attorney Crump, who seems to be the leader of the pack, hopefully will be a defense witness as I personally felt, based on just a little bit that I have seen, really blew up so much of this case, when it wasn't necessary. 

Adam Pollack, described George Zimmerman's capability at the MMA gym indicating that basically George did not have the capability of punching a \punching bag.  George was at the gym to do exercise and to lose weight, of which, George did lose a lot of weight before the incident.

The jurors will learn on Tuesday that Trayvon Martin had marijuana in his system.  The mothers on the jurors will be asking themselves "where did a 17 year old get marijuana?" I am also sure the mothers on the jurors are even asking how Trayvon got two tattoos, since he is under age to get a tattoo.  Although, I am not sure if a parent can give permission for an under-age child to get a tattoo. 

The most heart-felt testimony on Monday was from John Donnelly.  John helped explain to the jurors the scream of fear and how it would sound even coming from a 250 pound male, whose cry would even sound like a woman.  John and his wife, helped support George and his wife with money, food and clothing for George, especially after George put on so much weight.

Of course, this cynical world will look at it as a motivate of some form or another, however, I didn't see it that way.  Someone has to help George and his family, because his life stopped.  Just like with the Martin family, their lives stopped when Trayvon died.  People rallied around to support them financially as they fight for Justice for Trayvon, and a select few rallied around Justice for George.

Looking forward to Tuesday ....

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara holds news conference
http://www.wftv.com/videos/news/day-18-defense-attorney-mark-omara-holds-news/v5yRd/


My thoughts:
Today was a day that actually gave me a headache. Trayvon's mother was called by the State, and then the State went directly to a sidebar, leaving Sybrina "On Display" for at least 7 minutes, if not longer.  Now why the hell the State did this, I will never know.

Sybrina stated the screaming on the 911 call was Trayvon, however, neither the State or Defense asked Sybrina if she ever heard her son scream in fear.

Jahvaris Fulton, Trayvon's half brother stated that the scream was Trayvon, although he never heard his half-brother scream in that manner.  Jahvairs has stated last year that the scream was not Trayvon's/

Dr. Shiping Bao, the Medical Examiner that did the autopsy on Trayvon.  In a nutshell, this doctor doesn't even recall the case, however, he stated no one knows Trayvon better than I do, except he can't remember anything about the case.

He had written questions that he thought would be asked of him and then wrote the answers to those questions to have then readily available.

Within the last 3 weeks, Dr. Bao changed his mind about the time it took Trayvon to die once he got shot in the heart.  Originally Dr. Bao stated Trayvon would probably have died within one to two minutes, and today he said that it was from one to ten minutes.  This new information was based on an autopsy of someone else, where people were right there when 911 was called etc., etc.  However, people were right there within seconds after Trayvon was shot, as well as the first responder and they could not do CPR on Trayvon as he was deceased.  Also Dr. Bao indicated that Trayvon could have moved within that time frame or couldn't have moved.

The toughest part of his testimony is when he wouldn't pinpoint the time that the Assistant Medical Examiner arrived on the scene to take pictures and prepare Trayvon to be moved to the morgue.  It turns out that it took the Medical Examiner's office nearly 3 hours to get to Trayvon.  Remember it was raining that night, and Trayvon laid on the grass covered in a tarp, nothing being protected, including his hands for later testing.

So many things that were important in this case, especially nail clipping, pictures of the palms of Trayvon's, seem to not be very important.

Getting back to the notes, once the Defense realized that Dr. Bao's was reading for his notes, the doctor had to turn over his notes to the State and Defense and he didn't want to do it.  During a recess, both sides read the notes, and once they returned to the courtroom, both sides went to a sidebar.  At one point during the side bar, you could see Judge Nelson raise her right hand and Bernie (State) raised his right hand and appeared he was swearing to the Judge about something.

Perhaps the swearing had to do with the information Dr. Bao's talked about with regards to changing the time that it took Trayvon to die, that Trayvon could move, and the fact that the marijuana in Trayvon's system may or may not have added to what happened that evening.

George Zimmerman's mother  "Gladys Zimmerman" was called by the Defense, and she verified that the screams on the 911 tape was her son.  Although she stated, she had never heard him scream that way before, but she knew it was her son.  Gladys is a very lovely woman, not filled with any attitude, but willing to do what she can for her son.

The very best witness the entire time this trial started is "Jorge Mesa." Jorge is the brother to Gladys and George Zimmerman's uncle.  Jorge is in law enforcement, but was a witness for his nephew just as his uncle.

Jorge explained to the jury that he was sitting at his computer sometime in March 2012, and behind him, his wife was watching TV and then the 911 call was played and Jorge heard the screaming.  Jorge stated he knew this was George right away and felt in directly into his heart.  He asked his wife what she was watching and Jorge told him this is George screaming.

It was the most riveting moment of the entire trial.  You felt the passion and emotion in the tone of his voice.  Jorge at that time had decided to distance himself from the case because of his position in law enforcement.

The jury was left with Jorge Mesa's testimony and they were released for the weekend.  Court starts up again on Monday, July 8, 2013 at 9:00 AM EDT

George Zimmerman Trial - Day 7 - School Records Proffer 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_ijakvFDso


My thoughts:
Let see, what happened in court today. Chris Serino was back on the stand, and he is one odd cop.  I just got the feeling a lot of the things he stated, he wish he didn't do what he did back then.  I actually saw him look over at George after stating something, and he just look sorry.

The State presented Kristin Bentsin an expert in fingerprints.  After going through all of her qualifications, she was accepted as an expert in fingerprinting.  In the end, there were no fingerprints on the gun.  OK then, that was a great witness.

The State presented the Hannity interview with George Zimmerman, July 18, 2012, shortly after George was arrested the second time and out on bond up to the present.  George's statement with Hannity was pretty much on the mark except for either about NOT knowing about "Stand Your Ground" or NOT knowing the full law regarding "Stand Your Ground."

You can know about "Stand Your Ground" as that is all that I know about it, but I don't know the Law about "Stand Your Ground." 

There was one statement George Zimmerman made during the Hannity interview.  I'm not 100% sure about what I wrote down regarding what he stated, but it sounded like George has no regret getting out of his car and that it was God's plan.

I can't bear to listen to another recording of the same story of what happened, just to find what George stated.

There was lots of discussion on this subject, and George's college records, maybe even his under-ware drawer will be investigated to determine how much did George know about "Stand Your Ground".  Especially since the State feels that George wanted to do a ride along with the cops, and perhaps a "wannabe" cop.

Heck most boys at one time or another would love to ride along with the cops, and who doesn't want to be in uniform of any kind.

Then the medical examiner took the stand, Valerio Rao.  Now she is NOT the medical examiner that did the autopsy on Trayvon Martin.  Nope, she did the examination of George Zimmerman head through copies of pictures sent to her computer, of which, she printed out.  Oh wait, she had loads of pictures of George Zimmerman, but that would take too much time, so she only printed a few of them.  Need I go on with that one?

Rao didn't like the word George Zimmerman used to tell the cops what happened to his head.  George stated his head was being slammed into the concrete.  Now Rao felt that was not the right word as "slam" means really forceful.  Well I'll be, George should have selected another word.  Should it have been "smashed", but that means to smash something perhaps until it slips open or "smashed" as in drunk.

Actually I don't think anyone really came up with the right word that George Zimmerman should of used since his head was hitting the concrete by another person doing it.

Then the Defense used the word protrusion, well that word the expert ME didn't understand.  Maybe O'Mara should have used "bump" on the side of George's nose, but then again Rachael Jentel used bump when she felt Trayvon got punched, oops. bumped in the nose.

Trayvon had no bruises, abrasions, protusions, scalp, skull or any injury to his head, face etc.  He suffered a one single gunshot to his chest.

Back and forth Rao corrected O'Maria for using bruises when it should be abrasions.  Some abrasions were brusing, nose swollen, and then not swollen. The word crown for top of head, skull when it should be scalp. 

Rao never saw original photos, and gave her expert advise by using copies, of copies of pictures.  In the end, George Zimmerman had insignificant injuries to his face, head etc., and were not life threatening to George Zimmerman.

Well, the way I see it, George Zimmerman was in fear of having his head damaged from what he felt was "slamming of his head into concrete."  He felt in fear of his life, although, according to Chris Serino, and Singleton, since his injuries were so "insignificant", I guess they felt he would have survived the attack.

The State also introduced Mark Osterman.  Mark is a very good friend of George Zimmerman, and he wrote a book titled: "Defending our Friend; the Most Hated Man in America."

Mark wrote this book from memory, no notes or recordings were used to write the book, just Mark's memory of what George Zimmerman stated.  I guess the biggest issue was the wording: "his gun, the gun" or something like that.  The State pulled this out and tried to use it as though George Zimmerman stated this directly.  However, it is a good friend of George that wrote a book only going on his memory.

So far, IMO, 2nd degree murder still has NOT been proven, The state has to prove ill-will, hatred, spite, or evil intent.

Until Wednesday ......
