This is delicious. Traybot heads exploding again. I think the Martin's have about 6 weeks left to file for a suit against George, the NBC thing is moving along and Holder on hold. How sweet it is. Love the picture too.


Holder gets a mention in renewsit's latest blog... she is drawing on some real magnificent talent with a "Guest Blogger" :cool

Attorney: George Zimmerman stole photographer's work to make painting

Lawyer for photographer who took picture of Angela Corey: "You just can't do that."


By Jeff Weiner, Orlando Sentinel
1:14 p.m. EST, January 24, 2014

An attorney for the photographer whose picture of State Attorney Angela Corey appears to be the basis for George Zimmerman's latest painting says the artwork is a copyright violation — one his client intends to fight.

The photographer, Rick Wilson, is now being represented by Jacksonville attorney John Phillips. In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Phillips said Zimmerman should expect a cease-and-desist letter, and if he doesn't heed it, legal action.

"If you've seen the two photos, it's identical," Philips said, adding: "You just can't do that. You just can't take somebody else's work and make it your own."

Zimmerman's brother revealed the painting Wednesday on Twitter: An red-and-orange image of Angela Corey, the special prosecutor who charged Zimmerman with murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The image of Corey appears to be an altered reproduction of a photograph Wilson took for the Associated Press April 11, 2012, during a press conference in which Corey revealed Zimmerman would face a second-degree murder charge.

Phillips said the Associated Press has already sent a cease and desist letter to Zimmerman, and he expected to send one on Wilson's behalf Friday afternoon.

If Zimmerman moves forward with plans to sell the image, "the next step would be to, in conjunction with the AP, to file suit against him," Phillips said.

"I don't know what Zimmerman was thinking, but he's stolen Rick's work," Phillips added.

He said a potential lawsuit against Zimmerman would be for injunctive relief — to prevent Zimmerman from continuing to use the photo — as well as civil, and possibly punitive, damages.

"The big word here with Mr. Zimmerman that keeps coming up seems to be accountability," Phillips said.

In an interview with WESH-Channel 2, Zimmerman's painting teacher, Jeff Sonksen, indicated that he taught Zimmerman to paint using "projected images."

From early on I have asked people who might have contact to pass on my well wishes to, and support for, George. I have no delusions about having any effect on things really, but I am happy to show support and "help" in any small way I can with this forum.

You did a fantastic job with the blog. Like you, I try to do what I can to show my support also, and maybe even influence some other opinions at the same time. Because this political persecution or "terrorism" can happen to any of us. I'm glad George read the blog. I'm sure he is grateful for all the support he can get.

I do wish George would NOT do his paintings so directly from photos... but don't see there being a serious law suit over this latest painting. :)

As I have said... the more the media bang on about it the better... free publicity and higher price at auction.

Florida Bar: We find no credible evidence O'Mara encouraged Shellie Zimmerman to lie


The Bar closes its ethics complaint against the Orlando lawyer.

By Rene Stutzman, Orlando Sentinel
5:41 p.m. EST, January 24, 2014

The Florida Bar today closed its investigation into possible wrongdoing by defense attorney Mark O'Mara, saying it found no credible evidence that he knowingly solicited false testimony from George Zimmerman's wife when she told a judge the couple was broke.

That testimony by Shellie Zimmerman led to her being charged with perjury.
[....]

On Dec. 16, the Florida Bar confirmed that it had opened an investigation following a complaint about O'Mara's handling of the Zimmerman case. It would not provide details on who filed it or the substance of the allegations.

That information became public today when the Bar formally notified O'Mara that it was closing its inquiry.

Bar attorney Kenneth Bryk notified O'Mara that the bar had checked into allegations that he knew the Zimmermans had more than $100,000 in donations squirreled away when Shellie Zimmerman testified at a bond hearing that the couple was broke.

It also looked into allegations that O'Mara was guilty of a self-dealing and having a conflict of interest by helping set up a legal defense fund.

The evidence available about each of those things, Bryk wrote, failed to establish wrongdoing.

And I think that perjury is what created the chasm between herself and GZ. WHO KNOWS? She put him in jeopardy at a time when he could least afford it.

All IMO, of course.

Christi O'Connor's "source" that George had a gun at the Shellie Zimmerman domestic incident and supposedly heard George say "I'm above the law" is a convicted panhandler. In other words.... Christi probably gave the guy a few bucks and said read my script for the camera. http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/Florida ... 32417.html

That is interesting... mind you I was not giving the YT from "Christi O'Connor the Investigative Stalker" much thought :)
The whole pice has little credibility... a shonky "witness" just confirms that.


Even the Traybots have shown little interest in her latest (delayed) outburst... they are much more interested in George's Masterpiece :slap
