Rather lengthy Blog on the case....well worth reading the whole thing.http://statelymcdanielmanor.wordpress.c ... ification/The Trayvon Martin Case, Update 14: Crumbling Foundations and Disqualification25 Wednesday Jul 2012
Posted by Mike McDaniel
Many claim that the prosecution of George Zimmerman is actually a persecution of George Zimmerman. It’s not a routine quest for justice using the normal procedures of the criminal justice system, but a political lynching, where the verdict is rendered first and the trial—in the court of public opinion particularly–follows. Whatever happens in an actual trial—if an actual trial ever occurs—is of far less importance than the social justice verdict, which is the verdict with absolute moral authority and the ultimate truth. That’s why an actual trial really isn’t necessary, you see.
It’s important, when considering this article and this entire case, to keep in mind the existence of those two realms and their essential qualities:
(1) The Court of Public Opinion: In this court, the verdict comes before the trial and is determined by those who yell the loudest, have the most current political power, or can most successfully cow the majority. In this court, facts matter only to the degree they support the predetermined verdict. In this court, social justice and victim group status matter more than anything else. In this court, there is money to be made in pursuit of “social justice,” and any outcome not sanctioned by the self-appointed ministers of justice may be met by deadly violence against the innocent. There is no rule of law and favored individuals and victim groups are more equal and credible than others. Publicity, the narrative and optics are everything. This court always seeks to tear down society and to impose its standards instead.
(2) The Court of Law: Here the rule of law and equality under the law holds sway. All are innocent until proved guilty. Here, evidence matters, and prejudicial statements and evidence are not allowed. Publicity doesn’t matter. This court seeks to uphold society’s highest ideals.
.......<SNIP>.......FINAL THOUGHTS: (BBM)
We are now at an interesting point in this case. If there is any additional information harmful to George Zimmerman, it is difficult indeed to imagine what that might be. In addition,
the Prosecution has written two woefully incompetent, perhaps even actionably unethical affidavits in this case, one in charging Zimmerman himself, and the other in charging Shellie Zimmerman with perjury. The judge has arguably violated judicial ethics in commenting on the character of George Zimmerman, on the evidence against him—despite the fact there has yet to be even a preliminary hearing—and has essentially threatened him with additional charges while suggesting his statements might have had some involvement in inspiring Shellie Zimmerman’s arrest. And now the judge must decide whether he should be disqualified.
I can’t say it enough: this is the case from outer space.On the defense side, it’s hard to imagine, outside a complete dismissal with prejudice, how things could be much better for them. Zimmerman’s self defense claim appears to become stronger with each new release of information, and apart from some juvenile threats by the prosecution, there seems to be no evidence harmful to Zimmerman likely to be forthcoming.
The situation regarding prosecution witnesses is mind boggling. There is former Detective Serino who appears to have made contradictory statements, but has surely made unprofessional statements, and in the middle of perhaps the most politically dangerous case of his–or anyone’s–career, apparently got caught leaking confidential information and demoted. This is generally not considered to enhance one’s credibility. Then there is Dee Dee, about whom no one is speaking these days. I would be hard put indeed to imagine a worse potential witness, much of whose testimony is likely inadmissible anyway. And now we have Ms. Meza Johnson who was apparently so intimidated by Zimmerman that she tried to sell her story, a story with accusations of non-crimes but no actual details or non-evidence to non-prove them. And on top of all of that, none of her allegations have any bearing on the case and no rational judge would ever allow her to testify. But in this case, who knows? I’m frankly expecting space aliens or zombies at any minute.
As I’ve often mentioned, I’m constantly looking for information that might in some way alter the course of this case, but I’ve yet to see it. I’ve little doubt this case is—should we say “interesting”—for the defense. They have to consider the court of public opinion, the actual courts and the presidential election, while trying to factor in the innate corruption of the Holder Department of Justice and whatever political maneuvering might be done on the state and local levels.
It will be interesting to see what the supporters of the narrative do with the FBI report. George Zimmerman has to be a racist or the foundation of their world view collapses. And Prosecutor Bernard de la Rionda simply can’t let go of the “profiling” meme despite Investigator Gilbreath being badly embarrassed when he could not explain what it meant or who put it in the original affidavit at the April 20th bond hearing as I outlined in Update 3.
Stayed tuned for additional updates–or alien zombie alerts–as sufficient information becomes available.http://statelymcdanielmanor.wordpress.c ... ification/
