Liesel, on this point, I have to disagree (but once again, I hope I'm wrong). Yes, many do know the truth. But have you been listening to all the comments from so-called "leaders" and celebrities lately? MLK III, Colin Powell, Oprah, Traymom, as well as many others are speaking out loud and in public as though there never was a trial. They ignore the whole trial and its outcome. Just like that mural whose artist said it was the "view of Americans" when called out about its untruthfulness. I truly believe all these people DO know the truth, but they prefer to ignore the truth. I don't think Holder ignoring the truth would be any more shocking to me than what I've already seen. And I think an awful lot of citizens may go along with him. Especially if the MSM hop on that bandwagon too.

I agree. There should have been major agressive push back from the defense from the very beginning.

I understand what you're saying, seeing_eye. Look at it this way, though: Even with the BGI and the media in full-on-narrative mode virtually 24/7, GZ was acquitted. What has been the biggest turnout that the Trayparents™ have helped to bring out lately? Maybe, just maybe ten thousand? Twenty, thirty thousand, tops? And that was MLK day. And that was with celebrities, etc. On their own, how many people can the scheme team get to show up? I mean for free, without being paid, or required by their job to go?

Ok, let's say that for every single person that has shown up, let's say there are roughly 10 more at home supporting "the J4TM™ cause." 30k x 10 = 300k people. That's a fraction of a % of the U.S. population.

And GZ was acquitted of the criminal charges in Florida. That's going to be a big black mark against a further prosecution in the minds of those who've never heard of the case and don't want to.

There's a reason you're not hearing anything about a federal charge. I suspect Trayparents™ have already been informed - in fact, didn't we already hear/read that they were told a prosecution is very unlikely? I think Holder has done all he can to assuage the hurt feelings of the Trayborg™. And he didn't get to where he is by being a complete idiot, he knows it.

The BGI has taken a big hit on this case, imo. The fact that they're attacking SYG to try to salvage some sort of a win to try to repair their image, such as it is, is a great sign of their defeat, over this case. Did you read the blog on Holder linked above? That "conversation" isn't going anything like Holder and the rest of the BGI had expected. How much more of a hit do you think they're all willing to take over this case? At some point, some DOJ or administration official (maybe Holder or President Obama) will have a quiet word with those who are still trying to salvage an image of being powerful despite the hit they just took, and they'll sit down and shut up. I expect this to happen before 2014 election season kicks in. They may bet on big minority turnout based on this "injustice" but I think it would risk an even bigger turnout about the real injustice, kwim?

I could be wrong, of course. But I hope you are.

I hope I'm wrong too. In the meantime, the agitation of the Trayborgs are irritating my stomach lining!!!

Oh, seeing_eye... I'm sure they don't have that much power over you. Are you sure it wasn't the fish? Visit the daft thread and have a good laugh at them. Goodness knows, no one laughs with such sour, bitter pills!

The 50th Anniversary March belittled MLK's accomplishments.

Now the movement is more like the entitlement recipients gay rights protest against SYG than
an effort towards equality.

Omara Asks the state to pay 200 to 300k of GZ.'s legal expenses.

You're right. The daft thread is actually stomach soothing .... almost as good as Alka Seltzers!

It's weird. Parks states he doesn't think the president should remark about the Oklahoma shooting of the baseball player until the investigation is finished and the facts are known. Obviously, that same train of thought didn't apply to the Zimmerman/Martin shooting.

I'm certain O'Mara knows a lot more about Florida law than I do, but I don't interpret that statute in question as granting payment for defense expenses. It says:



That seems to me to say an acquitted defendant will be compensated for court fees, for expenses charged for holding the defendant in custody, and for prosecution expenses billed to the defendant. Leyritz v. State, 93 So. 3d 1156 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) discusses the statute in relation to prosecution expenses charged to the defendant under chapter 938.

I am not an accountant but I think that subset holds the answer. It is virtually is the same thing Rene is reporting. And what MOM is compiling for submission. I hope it works though I expect that it will be refused, at least in part, by the courts. Any part of a remunerations would be a line in the win column.

IMO.

With little more Google Scholar research, I discovered Wolf v. County of Volusia, 703 So. 2d 1033 (Fla. 1997), which seems to still be the law in Florida.

The Florida supreme court considered the lower court decision:



The court concluded:



I think my interpretation seems more in line with that case than the interpretation attributed to O'Mara by the Orlando Sentinel article.

From CTH......

Oh The Audacity ! George Zimmerman Requests Reimbursement For Defense Expenses…. Orlando Sentinel Says His Acquittal Should Be Enough…
