When I say discussion "of" I am not banning mention of Sundance

Just questioning his (imagined) motives etc.. is off topic... the substance is great.

I am reading SD's comments and enthusiasm over there.

From CTH......

Since the school records are protected by law, I would caution too much exposure to the sunlight. Just IMO.

I agree, Deb

From the "protected by law" point of view AND from the point of view of aiding the enemy and feeding cretin posters. (at some sites)

I am SURE Sundance is aware of that sort of stuff

I think we may be seeing the tip of the iceberg. Gladys words keep ringing in my ears...

"The truth will finally be revealed to many, but to some who have always seen through the narrative the truth George always told will be “revealed”,but rather “confirmed”

I could see a large chunk of the "iceberg" very early on.....

But I do agree we are seeing more and more.

It remains frustrating that someone does not call a halt to this farce.... like.... a "grown-up" needs to step in.

Maybe the 5DCA will be that "Grown-up" ?

I am not sure he gives two poops. LOL. But it will be nice to see what he got in hard evidence, like the letter he posted. I can get into that part, not so much the "insider information" line.

Loose lips sink ships...the gig is up...fess up...the party's over...step up to the plate...

SOMEBODY, ANYBODY...

How is that saying there more than one way to skin a *** (edit Rumpole) DOG, anyway from what I am gathering is coming from a completely unrelated matter(the deposition of the women that filed a lawsuit against Miami Schools PD chief), that intercepted with TM and their dealings while Baker acting TM. So it is entirely possible that this information is not available to MOM, who only got the normal school records which would not include the diversionary program acts. Good, lets air it all out.

Why did Crump file the confidential information?

A question discussed. Your answer above makes more sense than opposing counsel.

If only Trayvon had kept his hands in his pockets, none of this would have happened.

"Defense Lawyer Wants details of Trayvon Martin Lawsuit"

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati ... t/2075759/

From the article"

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin's parents, said the details of the wrongful-death settlement are irrelevant and that O'Mara is simply trying to divert attention away from the facts of the criminal case.

"They are trying to keep the attention off of the night George Zimmerman profiled, pursued, and killed Trayvon Martin," Crump said. "The parents entered into a confidential settlement, with confidential parties for a confidential sum... It has no bearing on the criminal matter."

O'Mara argues however that Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, could be biased witnesses as a result of the money they have received.

But.... Dopey Crump... filed and attached a copy of that "confidential" agreement to This case..

Lots of confidential there, Crump. How is it you think the public will feel assured they've learned the TRUTH if everything you do is confidential ...you know, like the details you hope to not testify about???

Meanwhile, a good friend over at Liestoppers forum pointed out a little humor from the ABC Link provided in a previous post here:

[...] Little evidence, she said, has been available to the public since her son's arrest and she accused the Martin family's defense lawyer, Benjamin Crump, of "confusing the public and manipulating perception" in order to sway public opinion.

So Crump is now their DEFENSE lawyer?!?!

So he did not have to turn the settlement agreement over to the court? I do not understand why the HOA settled. Can anyone explain in layman's terms why they would settle before the criminal trial? I think O'Mara made a valid point in his motion when he says money can change a witness' statement. It does not make sense to me.

Also seems most of the witnesses in this case have been tainted.

So why did Crump file a confidential, irrelevant, distracting agreement with the court?

John -- LOL. Exactly!

Anything released - to a member of the public - via a FOIA request would not, by definition, be protected; otherwise, such records would be statutorily exempt from public disclosure, and the FOIA request would have been denied.

It appears that someone did speak up. Refer to your quoted response to the LEO Affairs forum post. Someone gave up just enough information to point Sundance in the right direction to make a specific FOIA request.

I have seen nothing that required Crump to file the agreement with the court. It is possible that something could have come up in connection with depositions of Sybrina and/or Tracy.




Possible factors motivating HOA settlement:

1. potential HOA liability regardless of outcome of criminal trial - 776.032 immunity would not protect HOA
2. litigation costs - attorneys' fees can instead be diverted to settlement, with a guaranteed, rather than uncertain result
3. remove cloud over HOA - perhaps makes it difficult to sell property, reduces property values as nobody wants to buy into a share of potential multi-million dollar liability.
4. window of opportunity - risk aversion - bad stuff has come out about W8 and bad stuff about Trayvon's school records is apparently also known - This may have motivated Scheme Team to reduce settlement demands.

Bonus: GZ gets to use evidence of settlement to impeach the credibility of Sybrina and Tracey at trial





I think it is also true. Sybrina at one point said, and after consultation with attorney later retracted, that the shooting was an accident. Tracy, in the presence of 3 cops, said that the voice screaming on the 911 call was not Trayvon. After consultation with attorneys, he denied making that statement.

The entire motivation for the scheme is money. NEN and 911 calls released 3/16; W8 interview on 3/19; CNN press conference designed to motivate arrest on 3/20; trademark applications for using trademarks in interstate commerce filed on 3/21; trashcan tours and fundraisers follow.
