Except here there is no Atticus Finch

The trial of George Zimmerman is a modern day reversal of the trial of Tom Robinson.

 

You remember, the Tom Robinson charged in To Kill a Mockingbird with raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell.

In the book, gangs of Southern whites demand the lynching of Tom Robinson.

 

In Florida, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and black gangs demand the lynching of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman’s crime was to stand up for the residents of his community who were being victimized by break-ins committed generally by young blacks.

 

Spotting just such a person whose face was shrouded by hooded garment, he called the non emergency number. When Zimmerman was unexpectedly accosted by the teen, his nose was broken and his body thrown to the ground by the experienced mixed martial artist fighting thug.

 

Subjected to vicious ground and pound attack, Zimmerman pulled a gun and killed the thug Scissors-32x32.png

The Anatomy of a Lynching

anatomy-of-a-lynching.jpgA long, long time ago, there was a confrontation between two people and one ended up dead. The police took the survivor to the police station, questioned him, gave him two lie detector tests, both of which he passed and they let him go. That was the last time George Zimmerman received justice. Scissors-32x32.pnghttp://dcclothesline.com/2013/07/12/the-anatomy-of-a-lynching/

'Crackers,' a 'teenage mammy' -- the sorry truth about race and Zimmerman trial

By Juan Williams

 

Published July 11, 2013

FoxNews.com

 

"White Hispanics," "Creepy-Ass Crackers," "Teenage Mammies," and "Suspicious A--holes who always get away" -- that is the vernacular of the George Zimmerman trial.

 

George Zimmerman faces life in jail as a jury considers second-degree murder charges against him for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. But thanks to the media he is already sentenced to life in the American public's mind as a racist.

 

NBC edited a tape of Zimmermans call to police as he was following Martin to make him appear to be focused on Martins race.

 

The New York Times has referred to him in unique racial terms as a white Hispanic." The terminology was necessary to have the story fit into a well-worn news narrative throughout American history from the Scottsboro Boys to Emmett Till to Rodney King the black victim of white racism. Scissors-32x32.png

 

My bet is that poll would have different results today. The trial has failed to prove Zimmerman acted with a depraved mind as required for a second-degree murder conviction or even with a racist mind. He certainly killed Martin. And the jury may decide he is guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter. But what we heard in the courtroom fits with an FBI report that found race was not a factor in Martins shooting death.

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God

 

Posted on July 12, 2013 by Diane Sori

 

The truth…thanks to Barack HUSSEN Obama and the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Louis Farrakhan and a host of other ‘supposed’ black leaders, race relations in our country have been set back 50 or more years, and the newest ground zero for this setback is the George Zimmerman murder trial.

 

 

The whole truth…by making Trayvon Martin the center point for this group of white-hating bigots who are being aided and abetted by an in-the-pocket for Obama media, race became the focal point and changed the equation in a simple ‘stand your ground’ self-defense case turning it into a trial about manufactured and manipulated racial hatred.And nothing but the truth…American jurisprudence and the words ‘and justice for all’ have become twisted and perverted as healed over old racial wounds have been ripped open to expose a new breed of hatred that’s pitting black against white in a case staged for political theater…political theater as Obama and his minions stoke these new racial tensions to exploit this case to a crisis level that never should have been. Scissors-32x32.png

The George Zimmerman case is in reality a simple case of self-defense Scissors-32x32.png

Why the Zimmerman Prosecutors Should Be Disbarred http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/07/why_the_zimmerman_prosecutors_should_be_disbarred.html

 

 

Toward the end of his closing statement on Thursday, Florida Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda posted a slide on a screen in a fifth-floor Seminole County courtroom.

 

"Which Owner would be more inclined to yell for help?" read the banner on the top of the slide. The slide was divided in two. On the left was a photo of George Zimmerman's Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm handgun, and on the right was a can of Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail. Beneath the photo of the gun was the question, "Who followed?" Under the can was the question, "Who ran?"

So absurd was de la Rionda's presentation, and the whole case for that matter, that the can was turned sideways so the label could not be read. Throughout the trial, prosecutors have called the drink "iced tea" lest the word "watermelon" be said in court. "F***ing" was okay. De la Rionda said it more times than the average rapper, but "watermelon," apparently because of its racial connotations, was not.

Scissors-32x32.png

The State's job is to make the case for the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Fifty years ago, in Brady v. Maryland, the U.S. Supreme Court established that a prosecutor's responsibility was "to seek justice fairly, not merely win convictions by any means." In the case at hand, this meant that the State of Florida had the responsibility to share promptly all exculpatory evidence with the defense. It did not.

 

One substantial block of evidence that it kept to itself until a whistleblower alerted the defense was the content of Martin's cell phone. On Tuesday night of this week, phone expert Richard Connor made a detailed presentation. Although the jury was not present, the respective attorneys were, as were the media.

 

For dubious and probably reversible reasons, Judge Debra Nelson disallowed Connor's testimony, but prosecutors have known for many months about the downward spiral of Martin's life. In the course of his close, de la Rionda called Martin an "innocent young boy" and made several other allusions to that effect. He was intentionally deceiving the jury. Martin was neither little nor innocent.

 

Consider the following exchange from November 2011, three months before the shooting. After Martin told a female friend he was "tired and sore" from a fight, she asked him why he fought. "Bae" is shorthand for "babe."

 

MARTIN: Cause man dat nigga snitched on me

 

FRIEND: Bae y you always fightinqq man, you got suspended?

 

MARTIN: Naw we thumped afta skool in a duckd off spot

 

FRIEND: Ohh, Well Damee

 

MARTIN: I lost da 1st round :( but won da 2nd nd 3rd . . . .

 

FRIEND: Ohhh So It Wass 3 Rounds? Damn well at least yu wonn lol but yuu needa stop fighting bae Forreal

 

MARTIN: Nay im not done with fool..... he gone hav 2 see me again

 

FRIEND: Nooo... Stop, yuu waint gonn bee satisified till yuh suspended again, huh?

 

MARTIN: Naw but he aint breed nuff 4 me, only his nose

 

The fight followed the mixed martial arts (MMA) format. A day later, Martin would tell a friend that his opponent "got mo hits cause in da 1st round he had me on da ground nd I couldn't do ntn."

 

As the girl complained, Martin was "always" fighting. He was also something of a sadist. His opponent, after all, did not bleed enough. Why might this be relevant?

Zimmerman trial: the retributions begin

 

State Attorney Angela Corey fired her office’s information technology director Friday after he testified last month about being concerned prosecutors did not turn over information to George Zimmerman’s defense team in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

 

On the same day attorneys finished their closing arguments in that nationally watched trial, a state attorney investigator went to Ben Kruidbos’ home about 7:30 a.m. to hand-deliver a letter stating Kruidbos “can never again be trusted to step foot in this office.”

 

~~~~~~

 

In January, he used computer software technology to extract photographs and text messages from the source file in Martin’s cellphone. Kruidbos was able to recover more information than the Florida Department of Law Enforcement obtained previously.

Kruidbos said he became concerned that lead prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda might not have Scissors-32x32.png
