Before the trial begins, I will make this one comment in jest ... after hearing the judges trial instruction as to the who's and what's not to do, no internet, no independent research, etc, I think its safe to say I will never be serving on a murder trial.   ::MonkeyWink::

Well that did not take long to bring "racism" into the trial.

Interesting choice of words for prosecution to start with, the profanity of George Zimmerman on 911 call. Then says it again and again. What makes me think this will be his final words of opening argument?

Prosecutor John Guy quotes #Zimmermanon9 as calling Martin a "f------ punk" and said those hateful words were in his head and heart.

Most males that I know will mutter words like  *ing punk at many times. Drop a wrench, the dog tracks in mud, don't mean we intend to kill it.

As I remember from the recording of the 911 call to police, he made the profane statement in general and not specifically directed toward TM.

So I am about to profile somebody and use my gun - looking for someone to target - so I get on the phone and call police and tell them to come and give my name and phone number so that I get a timely arrest??

George Zimmerman trial: Opening statements underway
12:33 p.m. EDT, June 24, 2013

 SANFORD – Jurors are hearing opening statements at the George Zimmerman murder trial today, as attorneys for both sides begin telling their version of what happened the night Zimmerman killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a homicide that set off weeks of civil rights rallies.

The trial is currently in recess for lunch. It will resume at 1:30 p.m. The state already finished its opening. Defense attorney Don West began his opening statement this morning, and will finish in the afternoon.

West told jurors this morning that Zimmerman is not guilty: "He shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense after being viciously attacked."

"This is a sad case, of course... a young man lost his life" and Zimmerman "is fighting for his," West said. He added that Trayvon's parents "have the right to grieve. They have the right to feel the way they feel."

However, West told the jurors there are no "monsters" in the case. Then he told an ill-received  knock-knock joke: George Zimmerman who? "Alright, good. You're on the jury."

West went into a detailed chronological breakdown of Zimmerman's call to Sanford police to report Trayvon as suspicious, which the jurors also heard. He said Zimmerman did initially follow Trayvon, but stopped when he was told not to.

It was Trayvon who confronted Zimmerman, not the other way around, West said. He described at length the testimony jurors will hear from a Zimmerman neighbor, who was previously referred to as Witness 6. That person, West said, saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman.

The witness described a mixed-martial-arts style "ground and pound," West said. "He saw enough to know this was serious."

West said Zimmerman's injuries were "consistent with having his head slammed into concrete."

Earlier, prosecutor John Guy began his opening statement with a profanity: "F---ing punks."

He said that phrase was how Zimmerman described Trayvon during his non-emergency call to police before the shooting, and shows the defendant's mentality toward the teen.

When Zimmerman saw Trayvon, the prosecutor said, he "didn't see a young man walking home." Instead, he profiled, pursued and killed Trayvon, Guy said.

"He profiled him as someone who was about to commit a crime in his neighborhood, and then he acted on it, and that's why we're here," Guy said.

Later, Zimmerman "pressed that gun into Trayvon Martin's chest," Guy said, and pulled the trigger. He said that the evidence in the case, and testimony from witnesses, would contradict Zimmerman's account, which Guy called a "tangled web of lies."

Guy told jurors to listen closely to the "bone chilling" 911 call which captured screams before the shooting. They'll hear that Trayvon "was silenced immediately" by the shot, Guy said, adding the evidence will show no blood on Trayvon's hands and no DNA from Zimmerman under his fingernails, something Guy said was inconsistent with Zimmerman's account.

6/24/13  George Zimmerman: F-bomb opens trial
 
"The prosecution's opening statement Monday in the George Zimmerman trial featured the f-bomb multiple times, and it went out over Orlando TV stations.

Prosecutor John Guy quoted the expletive that Zimmerman had uttered when watching Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in Martin's fatal shooting.

Guy apologized for his language, which included "f------ punks." Guy's repeated dropping of the f-bomb was a shocker. I initially heard from several viewers who heard it three times; by my recount, Guy used it four"

Is this correct: neither the prosecution nor the state could bring up the pasts of either Martin or Zimmerman in the opening statements, but either side could (state or defense) if one talks about (state: George being in trouble with law) (defense: Trayvon was a little boy).

Or is TM's past totally off limits as is Georges?

I think that if either prosecutor or defense brings up past events, than the issue is open for discussion during the trial.

Friend of George Zimmerman claims Tracy Martin cursed at him
Timothy Tucholski says Martin called him 'motherf*****'
June 24, 2013

SANFORD, Fla. -
A friend of George Zimmerman claims Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin, cursed at him inside the courthouse, calling him a "motherf*****."
Following opening statements in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, a brief hearing was held outside the presence of the jury.  During the hearing, Timothy Tucholski said Tracy Martin cursed at him either last Tuesday or the week before.
"(Tracy Martin) looked down at my badge (name tag) or chest area and said motherf***** under his breath," Tucholski said.

Tucholski's badge identified him as a family member, although he's a friend of Zimmerman.

The hearing was held as Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara tried to get permission for his client's parents to attend their son's trial.  They cannot be present because they are potential witnesses but will be allowed to attend once they testify or are removed from the witness list.

O'Mara argued that Tracy Martin should also not be allowed to attend because his alleged cursing broke rules set forth by Judge Debra Nelson about emotional outbursts.

Nelson ruled that Tracy Martin can remain in the courtroom.

Nelson ruled earlier in the day that Martin family attorney Ben Crump, who's also a potential witness, could also not attend the trial unless Trayvon Martin's parents were unable to do so.

Zimmerman opening statements: Expletives and a knock-knock joke
June 24, 2013

Editor's note: This story contains language that may offend some readers.
(CNN) -- A prosecuting attorney greeted the jury in the George Zimmerman trial Monday with a quote full of expletives, while his adversary decided it was appropriate to tell jurors a knock-knock joke.
And that was just the beginning of opening statements in Zimmerman's long-anticipated murder trial.
In a case that has ignited national debate about gun laws and race relations, Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, is accused of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012 in Sanford, Florida.
Prosecutor John Guy's first words to the six-woman jury may have raised a few eyebrows.
"Good morning. 'F*****g punks, these a******s all get away,'" Guy quoted Zimmerman. "These were the words in this grown man's mouth as he followed this boy that he didn't know. Those were his words, not mine."
Zimmerman, Guy said, "got out of his car with a pistol and two flashlights to follow Trayvon Benjamin Martin, who was walking home from a 7-Eleven, armed" with a fruit drink and a bag of candy. Eventually the two became entangled on the ground in a fight. A witness has said Martin was on top of Zimmerman, Guy said.
"The defendant claims that while Trayvon Martin was on top of him, he said, 'you are going to die tonight,'" said Guy. "Nobody heard that."
Guy told jurors that no witnesses saw what happened the night of the shooting from beginning to end. Witnesses only saw "slices" of what happened, he said.

"We are confident that at the end of this trial you will know in your head, in your heart, in your stomach that George Zimmerman did not shoot Trayvon Martin because he had to," Guy said. "He shot him for the worst of all reasons, because he wanted to."
The Martin family sat watching the proceedings behind State Attorney Angela Corey. Zimmerman's parents were seated behind the defendant in the second row. The pews in the public gallery were filled to capacity.
At one point, Martin's father began crying as Guy detailed how officers tried to save his son's life. Zimmerman has mostly stared straight ahead without any signs of emotion.
Following Guy's statement, defense attorney Don West came forward to woo the jury. As he began, he told a knock-knock joke. But it failed to win a laugh. "Knock knock. Who's there? George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? Good, you're on the jury," he said.
West quickly got on with the business of making his case: that Zimmerman was forced to act in self-defense to save his own life.
"The evidence will show this is a sad case; no monsters here. ... George Zimmerman is not guilty of murder. He shot Trayvon Martin after he was viciously attacked."
With the help of PowerPoint visuals, West spent hours hammering away at his argument.
He broke down Zimmerman's non-emergency 911 call in which he first reported seeing Martin and told about following him.
"Little did George Zimmerman know at the time in less than 10 minutes from him first seeing Travyon Martin that he, George Zimmerman, would be suckered punched in the face, have his head pounded on concrete and wind up shooting and tragically killing Trayvon Martin," West told jurors.
West also deconstructed a 911 call a neighbor made, in which it is possible to hear screams and a shot in the background that West said was the sound of the fatal bullet.
As the dramatic recording audio filled the courtroom, Zimmerman showed no emotion. Martin's mother left the courtroom.
West quoted a witness named John Good who described the fight. "He called it a 'ground and pound' by Martin, who he said was on top of Zimmerman, beating him "senseless."
He saw enough that this was serious," West said. Zimmerman cried out for help, looked at Good and said, "help me." But the beating continued while Good went inside his home to call 911, West said.
There was a shot. Shortly afterward, according to West, Zimmerman said Martin "was beating me up, and I shot him."

Trayvon Martin Shooting Fast Facts
June 22, 2013

(CNN) -- Here's a look at what you need to know about the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. Former neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman has been charged in the shooting.

Facts:
Trayvon Benjamin Martin, born February 5, 1995, was a 17-year-old African-American high school student who lived in Miami Gardens, Florida with his mother Sybrina Fulton. In February 2012, Martin was visting his father Tracy Martin in Sanford, Florida after receiving a ten-day suspension from Krop Senior High School. The suspension stemmed from the discovery of drug residue in Martin's book bag.
George Michael Zimmerman, born October 5, 1983, was a part-time student at Seminole State College and a neighborhood watch captain at the Retreat at Twin Lakes gated community in Sanford at the time of the shooting. He is married to Shellie (Dean) Zimmerman and is the son of Robert and Gladys Zimmerman.
Timeline:
February 26, 2012 - George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida, calls 911 to report "a suspicious person" in the neighborhood. He is instructed not to get out of his SUV or approach the person. Zimmerman disregards the instructions. Moments later, neighbors report hearing gunfire. Zimmerman acknowledges that he shot Martin, claiming it was in self-defense. In a police report, Officer Timothy Smith writes that Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and back of the head.
February 27, 2012 - Martin's father, Tracy Martin, files a missing persons report. Officers with the Sanford Police Department visit Tracy Martin. He is able to identify Trayvon Martin's body using a photo.
March 8, 2102 - Investigators receive a fax from the Altamonte Family Practice containing the medical records identifying the injuries sustained by Zimmerman on the night of the shooting: Open wound of scalp, without mention of complication; nasal bones, closed fracture; assault by other specified means.

Lawyers reveal diverging strategies in George Zimmerman trial

SANFORD --  When George Zimmerman spotted Trayvon Benjamin Martin on a rainy February night as the Miami Gardens teen returned from a convenience store with a can of Arizona fruit punch and a bag of Skittles, Zimmerman saw a troublemaker, a “f---ing punk” up to no good, prosecutors said Monday.

So Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer already alarmed by a recent rash of burglaries in his gated community, pursued Trayvon with a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol at the ready, fatally shooting the Miami Gardens teen. In a fast-moving opening statement, assistant state attorney John Guy described the volunteer as a vigilante on a mission to rid his block of “a--holes” like Trayvon.

The defense countered that Zimmerman was forced into a confrontation he didn’t want. As a concerned citizen trying to protect his neighborhood, Zimmerman only shot to save his own life after he was viciously attacked, his attorney, Don West, told jurors.

The sharply different pictures of what happened on February 26, 2012, in a townhouse complex in this Central Florida city emerged during opening arguments in a case that has grabbed headlines for more than a year and focused renewed attention on the country’s enduring struggle with race. Zimmerman’s delayed arrest sparked civil unrest including marches and protests across the country and in Sanford.

But inside the fifth-floor courtroom where every seat was taken Monday, Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial is likely to explore particular moments from the night Trayvon was killed, such as the minutes that Zimmerman followed him, the screams on 911 recordings and the extent of Zimmerman’s injuries from his scuffle with the teen.

On Monday, attorneys from both sides addressed those issues in their opening remarks to jurors but asked them to draw contrasting conclusions.

Mystery girl to testify in Trayvon Martin murder case

Posted June 25, 2013, at 6:15 a.m.


SANFORD, Fla. — Prosecutors in the Florida murder trial of neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman will reveal a star witness for the first time on Tuesday, the girl Trayvon Martin was talking with in the last minutes of his life.
 
The teenage girl, known as Witness #8 until now, was due to testify about what Martin, the unarmed black 17-year-old shot and killed by Zimmerman last year, told her what he saw that night.
 
Identified in court on Monday only as Rachel, a friend of Martin from Miami, she received a running account about what was happening, starting when he noticed a man, Zimmerman, watching him in the gated central Florida community he was visiting.

FLAMom, sadly this took a racial tone from the outset. When Zimmerman was referred to as a "white" Hispanic by the MSM I thought that to be one of the most offensive and uncalled for reporting's I have ever seen. They wanted to make it racial, instead of about the law. Sad, very sad.

I have my theories as to what happened and will hold for a little later. But I think they are spot on for what happened. Zimmerman I do not believe set out to shoot Trayvon, but sadly it happened. All too often in today's society we have confrontations both verbal and physical. However, one never knows if one has a gun.

The fact the race card has been played is unreal. Would that be the case if George Zimmerman was a "black" Hispanic?

Justice is supposed to be blind, we shall see.

So there are past calls to 911 of black teenagers in the neighborhood committing crimes by Zimmerman? Oh the horror. Isn't that what his job was supposed to be as a volunteer neighborhood watchman? So that is considered profiling? That would be called a fact, not profiling. Its about those that are committing crimes or attempting to, not the color of one's skin. Geez.

In my opinion, not calling a non-emergency number to report suspicious activity is an ineffective neighborhood program.  He and his neighbors were doing their job in helping police with community safety and preventing crime.  I think that the prosecutors are trying to connect previous calls with a call that ended tragically--in this case.

O'Mara made repeated reference to 90.404 in the evidence code. Here's that statute: http://bit.ly/11XTSpA  #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

State is arguing relevance, defense is arguing prior bad acts, though O'Mara calls them "prior good acts." #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

My area doesn't have a neighborhood watch, but because there have been 6 break ins during the day in the last 6 months, we've been told by the Sheriff's Dept. to call in any suspicious activity to 911.  There is a non emergency number, but they said use that for other things, like reporting a dead deer in the road etc.  I live in a very nice, upscale neighborhood, btw.  No crime until this summer.  The homes that were broken into were profiled by the thieves as occupants that leave daily for work and don't have alarms.

O'Mara basically says the state doesn't have direct evidence and state wants to use calls and make circumstantial arguments.

Correction to my above post, 6 break ins in the last 2 (two) months!

Thanks Red. I believe this may be the only story we have ever disagreed on. I also never thought this was about race and became annoyed when the sharpton race baiting circus came to Florida. We have enough crazies of our own. It is fine that we see it differently, I just want to see a fair trial....I am raising kids and had to warn them that people DO carry guns here... Those of us here with kids TM's age see it differently. If I called 911 for every suspicious person in my neighborhood, my 911 count may be 46 in 2 yrs also......TM is not on trial, GZ is but it does not seem that way. No one liked it when Travis Alexander was remurdered in court. Who is the victim here?

On 5th call Zimmerman describes a suspicious black male who is approaching the home of a white neighbor. GZ saw him before picking up trash.

I do not think in the end we differ that much on the case. I just do not believe that it was Zimmerman's intent to kill TM from the outset. I think the prosecution is reaching. Obviously GZ killed TV, but what took place from the initial meeting to the fateful gun shot is the question. There was obviously a scuffle, the injuries show that. I have just witnessed too many incidents where two individuals meet who should never cross paths and bad things happen. If GZ had pulled a gun initially on TM, no one in their right mind would have charged a person with a loaded gun. JMO. The confrontation between the two escalated to an unfortunate death.

The question the jury will have to answer most probably is whether one can claim self-defense if the individual claiming self defense initiated the confrontation. JMO.

rump: Don't unseal the $1 million-plus settlement Trayvon's parents received

April 15, 2013|By Rene Stutzman, Orlando Sentinel

Benjamin Crump has formally asked Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to make sure the specific amount of the $1 million-plus settlement Trayvon Martin's parents reached with George Zimmerman's home owners' association be kept secret.

Trayvon's parents, Crump wrote, "in no way wanted their son killed in order to pursue a civil settlement."

Crump is the attorney for Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, and on April 4, Crump filed a copy of the settlement under seal in George Zimmerman's court case file at the Seminole County Courthouse.

A portion of it was available to the public for a short time the following day, but the total amount and the names of the parties making the settlement payments had been edited out.

On April 5, Seminole County Clerk of Courts Maryanne Morse notified Crump that she intended to unseal it, saying it did not meet the legal standard of a confidential filing.

Morse today said that Nelson will now decide whether it should be unsealed. It's not clear when she will rule.

Last week defense attorney Mark O'Mara filed paperwork, asking the judge to unseal it, saying the payments could reveal a motive for Trayvon's parents to be biased when they testify at Zimmerman's June 10 trial.

O'Mara cited as an example Tracy Martin's initial response when he listened to screams on a 911 tape. Lead investigator Chris Serino, of the Sanford Police Department, played the 911 recording for Trayvon's father a few days after the Feb. 26, 2012 shooting. At that time, Trayvon's father told Serino it was not the voice of his son.

Tracy Martin has since said the opposite.

In paperwork made public today, Crump called O'Mara's suggestion that Tracy Martin had a financial motive to change his story "unintelligible" and "devoid of merit."

He changed his story, Crump wrote, because he has since heard a clearer version of the recording and when he first heard it, was in "an extreme emotional state."

Crump asked the judge to only block the payment amount from public view.

Keeping it secret "is essential to avoid irreparable harm in the negotiations and exposure of other claims/lawsuits," Crump wrote.

 i can try to put the bigger ones but I am in and out all day.

If O'Mara works this much on one statement I know I want to see the Deedee cross. I have listened to her depo a couple of times and she will not come across as anything but a Crump puppet.

Anything you can contribute is appreciated, alagary.  Wish we had a duck icon too.    ::MonkeyHaHa::  :smt117

Have I mentioned I'm old ::MonkeyHaHa::

Just a side note, but if she "liked" the "Justice for Trayvon Martin" page on FB, it means she got updates and stuff from the news feed and shows support.  That's not to say I don't believe there should be justice for Trayvon, but I also believe there should be justice for GZ on trial right now.  Justice wouldn't equate a guilty finding imo.  It depends on what is further revealed at trial.  What I'm thinking about is the prospective juror that gave a $20.00 donation to GZ's fund, and I believe he said he felt sorry for him.  What is the difference between the two? 

Self edit.

George Zimmerman trial: Police sergeant, neighbor testify on Trayvon Martin shooting
Jurors heard opening statements Monday in Zimmerman's trial.

2 pgs

 ::snipping3::
The last witness called today by the state, Zimmerman neighbor Selene Bahadoor, said she heard noises and what sounded like running on the night of the shooting, and looked out her sliding glass door.

She said she saw two people, standing, but couldn't identify them. She described what she saw as "figures and arms flailing."

Later, Bahadoor said she heard the gunshot, returned to the door and saw a "body in the grass... I remember it being face down."


Defense attorney Mark O'Mara grilled Bahadoor on whether she'd changed her testimony. She testified today that she thought the running moved from left to right outside the back of her townhouse, and O'Mara asked her if she told Sanford police that.

"I don't know, I can't remember," Bahadoor said, later adding that it's possible today was the first time she mentioned it in an official statement. She was shown transcripts of her prior statements and said she mentioned the running, but not the direction.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda later asked Bahadoor if she was asked by law enforcement or during her deposition about the direction of the running. She said she wasn't.

Bahadoor also acknowledged that her Facebook page indicates she signed an online petition calling for Zimmerman's arrest. However, she said she felt sympathy for both families in the case.

NAACP takes a stand at George Zimmerman trial: ‘No one tells us … what to do’
Tuesday, June 25, 2013

Members of the NAACP rallying around the Trayvon Martin family at George Zimmerman’s trial for second-degree murder, which continued Tuesday, said they wouldn’t stay within the marked protest area set up by law enforcement.

“The so-called ‘demonstration area’ that has been designated — you will not see us protesting in that particular area ‘cause no one tells us where to go, how long to stay, what to do and what to say,” said Seminole County NAACP President Turner Clayton Jr. in a local 13 News report.

George Zimmerman described black males as 'suspicious' in phone calls
June 25, 2013

Prosecutors in the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman argued Tuesday that the judge should allow the jury to hear about five phone calls Mr. Zimmerman made to police dispatchers in the six months before his fatal confrontation with teenager Trayvon Martin complaining about “suspicious” characters in the neighborhood.

Defense and prosecution arguments over the neighborhood watch phone calls took place before the all female jury was seated for the second day of testimony in the Sanford, Fla., trial. In each of the calls, Zimmerman described the suspicious characters as black males, the Associated Press reports. Trayvon is black. Judge Debra Nelson said she would rule after reviewing prior cases.
 ::snipping3::
The debate over the phone calls began late Monday when, according to CNN's live blog, the court adjourned after the prosecution introduced a nonemergency call made by Zimmerman in August 2011. He is heard reporting a suspicious person in the neighborhood.

Prosecutors said the call helps illuminate Zimmerman's state of mind the night Trayvon was killed, but the defense questioned the call's relevance. The judge asked attorneys on both sides to research the issue overnight and to argue their positions Tuesday morning.

In this morning’s arguments, prosecutors said calls made in the six months prior to the Feb. 26, 2012, incident in which Zimmerman shot an unarmed Trayvon show Zimmerman’s growing frustration with repeated break-ins in his gated community. It supports the prosecution theory that Zimmerman viewed Trayvon as a suspicious character and was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” as the Associated Press quoted prosecutor Richard Mantei as saying.

The calls that the prosecutors want the jury to hear are mentioned in a report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, released by the state attorney’s office, which shows Zimmerman had a pattern of complaining frequently to authorities about events in his neighborhood

6/25/13  Teenage Star Witness Against George Zimmerman Has Tweeted About Case, Getting High, And Her "Court Nails" 

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/twitter/rachel-jeantel-758403

Is Rachel the same Dee Dee who talked to crump and did not tell anyone for three weeks and refused to talk to LE?

And is this the same Dee Dee that you can hear her interiview with crump on Youtube?

If we all thought alike, there'd be no need for elections, trials, choices of retail goods, different religions, etc. We just all have to learn to be more tolerant of each others POV, and agree to disagree.

Personally at this point, it's very sad how both TM and GZ have lost their lives to this unfortunate tragedy.  I'm open to learning the truth as best I can.  Right now though GZ is innocent until proven guilty and I have thought that and said that since the beginning.  The last thing need at that trial is thug mentality and that's what NAACP is putting forth claiming they don't have to follow no stinking rules.

I don't want to see anymore harm come to anyone over this case, so everyone needs to dial it back and obey the rules and that means the NAACP and anybody else who wants to dive into the fray and stir up trouble, racial or otherwise.   jmho

I'm really shocked that no WS came out and protested.

The George Zimmerman Trial So Far: A Fiasco For the Prosecution?

If you are interested in the George Zimmerman trial, in which testimony is now under way, the place to go is Legal Insurrection, where Andrew Branca, a Massachusetts lawyer who authored The Law of Self Defense, is posting a thorough, witness-by-witness commentary on the evidence, with videos of the actual courtroom scene.

Branca thinks today’s testimony was “an utter debacle for the prosecution.” In Branca’s view, the witnesses called by the state did far more to bolster Zimmerman’s defense than to advance the prosecution. The portrait they painted of Zimmerman was positive, and in a dramatic moment that Branca describes and which you can also see on video, the one witness who purported to have any information about the actual events surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin–an “ear witness,” as Branca calls her–was shown to have signed a petition calling for the prosecution of Zimmerman as “the killer of our son Trayvon Martin.” Ouch!

Zimmerman Trial Day 2 – Analysis of State’s Witnesses
Posted by Andrew Branca    Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 9:04pm

She was the one on the phone, I'm not sure of the reason for different names.

I'm just having my first cup of coffee, so please bear with me...

If I remember correctly, there was some confusion about DeeDee, her identity, her age and etc.,  It was first reported she was Dee Dee, aged 16, and TM's gf and was on the phone with TM the night he was shot.  Afterward  I think she spoke with Crump, the Martin's attorney, who it was found later knew her name and her real age (not 16) and etc. and didn't divulge this etc., etc.  Anyone remember any of that  And I think this is part of the reason some wanted Crump deposed.  I'm looking around a bit for some info, but am supposed to be preparing for a trip this a.m., so forgive me if I don't get it all straight before then. 

I think it will be interesting to have Rachael (formerly known as Dee Dee) on the stand.  I hope there can be some clarification about what occurred that night.  JMHO

I just googled "Dee Dee Trayvon Martin's Girlfriend" and the most recent article I could find is an opinion piece.  There are more references I found using the search feature at SM.

What people are saying about the start of the Trayvon Martin trial
June 25, 2013

 ::snipping3::
Tom Maquire, Just One Minute: "The prosecution is putting 'Dee Dee' (Tryavon Martin's girlfriend) on the stand for the second day of the Zimmerman trial. The circumstances of her original deposition are, hmm, controversial, and her credibility may not be all the state might hope for in a star witness. And credibility aside, her basic story has Martin initiating the verbal confrontation."
 ::snipping3::

This gentleman says Dee Dee is a credible witness.  There were questions about Dee Dee saying she didn't go to Trayvon Martin's funeral because she was at the hospital.  Lots of comments.

 ::jeep3::  Be back after lunch.   ::jeep3::

I agree with your comments about a young man trying to  find his way, and two parents grieving the loss of their son- and that possibly Trayvon was in fact defending himself.

I was referring to the use of the MF word being used in the court of law. It has been reported that they wish justice to be served.  And so do I. But one needs to have respect for the court of law that is handling the process. 

Cursing, using the F word, in that court of law is disrespectful. 

I am sorry I offended you. This was my statement on the cursing episode.

Humbly submitted.

4/5/13    Trayvon Martin's girlfriend's credibility is crumbling
 
"Attorneys for George Zimmerman were expected to ask his judge this morning to order the state's most important witness, the young Miami woman who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin just before he was shot, to produce medical records.

However, defense lawyer Don West made a startling claim shortly after the hearing began: The state had revealed, before the hearing, that there are no medical records.

The woman, the defense lawyer said, "misrepresented" in a sworn statement that she missed Trayvon's funeral because she had been hospitalized.

"In fact, she lied," West said.....

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon's family, identified her as 16 years old when he played for reporters a recorded interview he conducted with her in March.

But she was 18 at the time and 19 now, O'Mara says.

During that interview by Crump, (she)  said she had been on the phone with Trayvon and he said he was scared because a strange man was following him. She said she heard Trayvon and the man come face to face and heard them exchange a few words then the phone went dead."
"This puts in a bind those who have vested their beliefs in this case on this young woman's account of the phone call and on discrepancies in accounts of the shooting given by defendant George Zimmerman. It's on her version of events that the "Zimmerman was stalking a frightened Martin" narrative rests, and the exposure of this very odd lie in a sworn statement suggests she won't do very well on the witness stand."

6/26/13  George Zimmerman: Will he testify?
 
""O'Mara, remember, we talked about the only thing that he could do to lose this case is fall on his head. If he falls on his head and hits it and lets this guy [Don West] tell more knock-knock jokes, maybe they will put him on the stand," Geragos said, drawing laughter. "Other than that, there's no way, no way Zimmerman is taking the stand."

"WFTV-Channel 9 legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said Wednesday morning that Zimmerman has to take the stand. "How can you not put him on the stand?" Sheaffer said. "There are all these assertions that he acted in self-defense based upon Trayvon Martin attacking him. There's no evidence of that. The only evidence of that comes from Zimmerman's own mouth. ... He has to take the stand. ... He has to, he has to."

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/blogs/tv-guy/os-george-zimmerman-will-he-take-the-stand-20130626,0,462648.post?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+entertainment%2Ftv%2Ftvguy+%28TV+Guy%29

I would agree. If he did what he claimed and did this out of self defense, only George Zimmerman can explain it and whatever happened that night best pass the smell test. When one is truly not guilty, they can explain away with the truth any concocted prosecutors story. But it has to be the truth.

Sounds rather unlikely that an armed man would scream for help.. Highly doubtful.

My thoughts, too.

Just wondering how George is going to explain how he outstretched Trayvon's arms.....yet Trayvon's arms were underneath him as the photos clearly depict. Will he say he stuffed them back under his body?  Also, on the 911 call, he states Trayvon is a teen....yet during his "apology" to Trayvon's parents in an early hearing, he told them he thought Trayvon was his age.  Truth? From George? I'm not seeing that. jmo

Zimmerman trial: Woman on phone with Trayvon said she heard him say 'get off! get off!'
Jurors saw shooting-scene photos of Trayvon's body during testimony Tuesday.
June 26, 2013

(3 pgs)
SANFORD - Jurors this afternoon are hearing testimony from a crucial state witness in the George Zimmerman murder trial: A young South Florida woman who was on the phone with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in the moments before his shooting.

Rachel Jeantel, 19, just took the stand.

She said she was on the phone with Trayvon when someone - presumably Zimmerman - started following him.

Trayvon described the man as a "creepy ass cracker" Jeantel said.

Jeantel said she told Trayvon she was worries that the man was a rapist. Trayvon said to "stop playing with him like that."


While being questioned about what was happening, Trayvon said that "n---- is now following him."

Jeanel said she told Trayvon to run, but he said he was near his father's girlfriend's house.

Trayvon then told her he was going "to run from the back, then I started hearing wind then the phone just shut off," she testified.

She said she called Trayvon back, and he answered.

She was able to start talking to him on the phone. "I asked him where he at, and he told me he at the back of his daddy fiance house."

Jeantel said she told him to keep running. "He said, nah, he'd just walk faster. Then a second later, Trayvon said, "Oh sh**."

De la Rionda asked, he said that to you? "Yes," she said, and then Trayvon said, "the ni---- behind me."

The testimony went slowly because the court reporter and others in the room are having trouble hearing the young woman.

She said she heard Trayvon say "Why you following me for?" Then she said she heard a "hard-breathing man" say, "what are you doing around here?"

Then, she said, she heard Trayvon say "get off, get off."

Did you ever speak to Trayvon again, de la Rionda asked.

"No," Jeantel said.

Gotta run out, be back in a bit.   ::jeep3::

Tracy wishes that deedee would have stayed home.

DeeDee is uneducated. A product of our Florida school system. One can only hope she tells the truth.

OMG....... What the hell was the prosecution thinking???????

Case closed........  state has no evidence.  jmo

I have heard plenty of evidence so far. What I am hearing now is an uneducated mumbler who needs to tell the truth without adding anything to it......

How hard is it to imagine Deedee saying "Tray you better go back and kick that crackers ass"?

I cannot disagree with that.  ::MonkeyDevil::

"Creepy ass cracker."

I feel sorry for her because it seems like she did not get/could not get a good education.

I hope when she goes off to college, she tries to better herself instead of wanting to drink and get high all the time.

Jeantel: "I do not watch news." Says #TrayvonMartin's father asked if she'd talk to his attorney, didn't ask her to talk to cops.

Jeantel says she still didn't know #GeorgeZimmerman hadn't been arrested in mid-March. #TrayvonMartin

Court to recess for the day. Jeantel not happy to have to return. Trial resumes 9 a.m. #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

I wouldn't think any one in the court room would be happy to have to come back tomorrow.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

9:00am yeah right ! I'll see you about lunch time judgelady

Please let me qualify that.  No one wants to be in court, but how many are going to make their displeasure known to the judge?

Still no evidence to show "George wanted to shoot Trayvon"

ALL of their witnesses at this point are crashing and burning.

This farce of a trial is a joke and I hope Angela Corey gets disbarred.

JMO.

@lightgraphs Sorry, we don't control the video feed, it's a pool situation.

I can't blame Jeantel for not wanting to come back for a 2nd day of grilling.  She needs an attitude and respect adjustment, if you ask me. I guess she's a hostile witness to the defense.  So far she hasn't said anything to bolster the prosecution's case.  She's just shown she's unreliable.

Teen who spoke to Trayvon Martin moments before his death testifies in Zimmerman trial
June 26, 2013

(http://i.imgur.com/ckEcnx3.jpg)

The star prosecution witness in the murder trial of George Zimmerman took the stand to recount her cell phone conversation with Trayvon Martin in the moments before he was shot to death, saying the Florida teen said he was being followed by “a creepy-ass cracker” just before the fatal confrontation.

Rachel Jeantel, 19, told jurors she warned Martin to walk away, saying "it might be a rapist." Martin, she said, told her he was going to try to "lose him" and get to his father's fiance's home in the gated community in Sanford. But Jeantel said as she remained on the phone with Martin, the man who was allegedly following him reappeared, prompting the February, 2012 confrontation, of which she heard the initial moments.
