Contact the Exoneration Project I think, for the details. Whoever is in NY, I hear that this is a very important and high-quality presentation; wish I could get there, but…

With a strong case you can afford invite challenges “with willful abandon”, that you dare not do when your case is weak. Understatement invites challenges, I’d be willing to bet you’d like to see someone try to challenge that understated claim, eh? But then, it’s already been done and failed miserably.

My belief is that the prosecution yes, does want to win and get a conviction, but the other goal is one I find dismaying: it wants to prevent the Feds from really coming down all over the SPD and drawing federal criminal charges against state officials like Wolfinger or police like Lee and Smith. Here’s why:

When this thing blew up, one of the first problems to be revealed was that the NW was not a properly organized watch group that had registered, etc. It was an ad hoc group run by the police and George. SOMEONE in the NW or the HOA, some resident or residents, were already (early in the year) upset that George was “patrolling while armed.” There were also some claims that he was targeting young African American males. These things were being hinted at and even reported in the news in March, and then they disappeared. By the time Corey drew charges against George (withOUT convening a grand jury) the police department was under severe scrutiny. By the time the Feds climbed into the case, it was obvious that there had been an organized cover-up.

That would mean that STATE ACTORS were doing illegal things, not just that George had.

Corey works for the State of Florida. I think she wanted to draw a charge that was strong enough to stick but that would leave enough leeway for George to plead out without a trial. Why? So that there would not have to be a real examination of everything that had happened in that corrupt county to protect a killer.

And why indeed?

Remember when the first batch of evidence was about to be revealed BOTH SIDES, prosecution AND defense, wanted them to be hidden from the public.

WHY?

Because once it was obvious how much evidence — what an overwhelmingly huge mountain of evidence — pointed to Murder-2, there might be no way to save the SPD from being blamed for faking it and claiming they did not have enough evidence to charge George with a crime.

I still believe that the whole “public theater aspect” of this case is being jointly orchestrated by prosecution and defense, in order to make it go away without a real revelation of what those corrupt racist lying cheating thieving malignant OFFICIALS did before, during and after the killing of Trayvon Martin.

So then, if you add the number of innocent people who will be killed by the death penalty, to the number of innocent people who will be killed by murderers trying to avoid being executed, you have increased the number of innocent people who will die, simply by having a death penalty.

That would be something both prosecution and defense would want to hide from the public.”

Why would the prosecution want to keep a 911 call from Trayvon hidden? Wouldn’t that help win their 2nd degree murder case?

BTW, when an attorney puts something in BOLDFACE or caps in court papers, it’s NOT GOOD. Sign of bad writing and sign of weakness. Make your words mean something and don’t tell the judge what to emphasize. If you can’t let the importance of the matters come to light, your typographical enhancements won’t help.

About the phone issue: = 0

The really significant question is this: Did Trayvon phone 911? That would be something both prosecution and defense would want to hide from the public. The future of the SPD is at stake.

States without death penalties have lower murder rates.
