The Trayvon Martin Case, Update 36.2: Public Interest Waning?

The fallout from the not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman prosecution continues apace. I have often written about the corruption and complete lack of ethics displayed by the prosecutors, but they’ve hit new lows. The Gateway Pundit reports that prosecutor Angela Corey, when asked to describe George Zimmerman in one word, replied “Murderer.”

BREAKING: Family helped out of crashed SUV by George #Zimmerman has CANCELLED today's news conference organized by attorney Mark Omara.

How Can We Know?

Knowing. Writing about the George Zimmerman case, I’ve seen many people of good will write: “we’ll never know what happened in this case, but…”. In the most technical, hair-splitting sense, they’re correct. But in consideration of daily reality, they’re not, and understanding the distinction is at once instinctive and vital.

After all, what’s our standard for knowing anything? Is there a more or less universal standard, or are our standards situational? Will we accept one standard of proof from our friends, but expect more–or less–of co-workers or strangers? At one time, Walter Cronkite was “the most trusted man in America,” but now we know he often lied in the furtherance of a leftist narrative. Few Americans actually believe what the legacy media tells them, yet most Americans are also able–if they take the time to think clearly–to tell when that same media can be trusted. That’s certainly a situational matter, but there are standards.

Rush saying the rescued family won't talk publicly because of fear; cites an article in UK Daily Mail. If anyone is interested, I'll try to find it. LMK.

Angie Baby, you're a special lady

You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you outta school
You're a little touched you know, Angie Baby

Ron Littlepage: The road gets bumpy for Angela Corey

Mousing around the news of the day ... click.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing of late for State Attorney Angela Corey.

Her office failed to get a conviction in a murder trial that riveted the nation, and then she labels the defendant a “murderer” shortly after a jury said he wasn’t.

There also are the accusations that her office withheld evidence in the aforementioned case and in a lawsuit filed against Corey’s office by a former employee alleging wrongful termination.

That is just one of the employee departures that has made the news.

And by the way, it’s never good for a federal judge to say from the bench “it’s hard to understand how this happens” as U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan did about the missing evidence in the lawsuit.

Click.

Speaking of Corey, one of her employees must have the cushiest job around.

Jackelyn Barnard is paid $72,600 a year to be Corey’s spokeswoman. And guess what?

She doesn’t speak to the Times-Union. Neither does Corey because she’s miffed the newspaper called her out for padding her pension with taxpayer money.

Now that’s real grown up of her.

Click.

We’ve seen Corey try to throw her weight around without success against some pretty high profile people.

Those aren’t her only targets. Consider this:

Here's the article.

Thanks to the crew of hate - Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NBPP, Crump/Associates, Corey/Bondi/Scott, MSM, and all the celebrities that have aided/abetted/promoted this hate against GZ.

I'm just waiting for someone to be mistaken for GZ and be beaten or killed. Or a innocent bystander to be injured/killed.

Sowell on justice, traditional and cosmic

In the aftermath of the Zimmerman trial we see outrage and protest among those who think Zimmerman is guilty of something or other, even if the criminal justice system couldn’t quite put its finger on it.

“He racially profiled Trayvon”—although there’s no evidence whatsoever of racial motivations in Zimmerman’s report of Martin’s suspicious behavior, or of racial bias in Zimmerman’s previous life. “He followed Trayvon”—although the evidence is that Zimmerman only did so in the very beginning, and stopped when the dispatcher suggested it. Besides, following someone is no crime. “Zimmerman confronted him”—again, no credible evidence of it, and at any rate no crime if verbal, which is all that seems possible given the evidence. “He’s a wannabe cop,” as though, even if that were true, it would be some sort of actionable offense.

From whence comes this sense of Zimmerman’s guilt? Those race hustlers whose specialty it is to heighten racial animus and perceptions of victimization, and a media which willingly cooperates in distorting the record towards the same aim, have played no small part. But what is the motivation behind those who are more well-intentioned? What do they mean by “Justice for Trayvon”?

Robert Zimmerman, brother of Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman who was recently cleared by a jury of criminal wrongdoing in the self-defense shooting of Trayvon Martin, will join host Mark Walters Sunday on Armed American Radio, a program media advisory announced today.

Also joining the conversation, scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern Time, will be Robert Zimmerman’s attorney Jeff Dowdy.

“I am absolutely thrilled to offer the Zimmerman family a supportive environment to talk to the nation,” Walters said. “I look forward to providing them a friendly, pro CCW, pro self-defense venue.

But maybe, just maybe, this time the BS is gonna have some consequences, if not blow up in their faces. I think it's already hurting the BGI - did you see O'Reilly's talking points memo posted yesterday?

Like many, I've generally been very pro-prosecution throughout my life. I want criminals off the streets. I assumed the prosecutors had the same goal. This case has widely opened my eyes and iirc yours, and many others.

People are still calling for consequences for Corey; maybe something will happen. At the very least there is now a plethora of info about her all over the web. If this case doesn't bring her and her minions down, maybe the next one will. I fully expect Nelson to deny the motion for sanctions, because clearly the defense wasn't irreparably harmed; their client was acquitted. I also expect MOM to appeal her decision and hope the DCA will do something about the state's actions.

I hope Nelson gets a strong dressing down too, aka a "How Stupid Can You Be" opinion from the DCA. If GZ wasn't so very clearly innocent and if there wasn't such an overwhelming amount of evidence proving him innocent, he could have easily been convicted due to the state's actions. How many others were and will be? I think the DCA will care about that.

We've got plenty of reasons to be frustrated and disgusted, even embarrassed about the actions taken in our name, but for a change, a welcome, refreshing, change, a lot of people are paying attention, and there may be some consequences. You know, if I knew someone convicted by anyone on that prosecution team, I'd be going over their case with a fine-tooth comb right now.

Bill O'Reilly's talking points on race hit hard on babies born out of wedlock. I wrote to him about Tracy's contribution to these statistics. Also told him about Tracy being the opening speaker for this new CBC. Perhaps part of the problem in the black community is raising up the wrong role models. Tracy is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
