Sanford, FL —We now know that Travon Martin was a drug abusing, burglar and thug doing all the wrong things.   Young Martin selected the wrong person to bully and  assault.  That  cost Martin his life. I’m not going to retry the case that acquitted George Zimmerman but the lies from the Martin family, their lawyers, African-American community organizers and the gun rights hating mainstream media fell apart in court. Now Zimmerman is absolutely broke, shell-shocked and suffering from what he says is  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I believe that Zimmerma’s PTSD is associated not with the incident with Martin but by being terrorized by prosecutors, so-called community leaders and media whores.   That vicious assault on Zimmerman clearly left it’s marks.   If Zimmerman is correct that he suffers from PTSD he is in a now category of people that have lost their rights under federal law to possess firearms for life.   He may be ...

Chicago, IL —Officials here are saying that the murder rate has suddenly declined to 1965 levels.   The same is happening all across the nation. However having anti-gun or self-defense zealot Barack Obama in the Whitehouse has brought on a huge surge of never before seen levels of civilian gun buying.   Wow! Those that think that more guns in the hands of civilians would create massive bloodbaths or worse with the considerably relaxed laws on possessing or carrying them have been proven wrong.       Chicago went from a total gun ban to “shall issue” carry permits for the law-abiding.   The program has not yet been implemented but prosecutors cannot enforce the bans on gun carrying by the large population of people possessing state firearm ID cards. The George Zimmerman  shooting and trial was the greatest PR event against crime ever by sending a highly publicized message to thugs everywhere.   That message is that doing ...

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Washington, DC—Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. served on the United States Supreme Court from 1902 until 1932.  Still today he’s probably the most quoted jurist to ever walk the face of the earth.  In 1921 Justice Holmes weighed in on the concept of Stand Your Ground : "The law has grown, and even if historical mistakes have contributed to its growth, it has tended in the direction of rules consistent with human nature. Many respectable writers agree that, if a man reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily harm from his assailant, he may stand his ground, and that, if he kills him, he has not exceeded the bounds of lawful self-defense. That has been the decision of this Court. Beard v. United States, 158 U. S. 550, 158 U. S. 559. Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife. Therefore, in this Court at least, it is not a condition of immunity that one in that si...

Sanford, FL - Media pundits have suggested that George Zimmerman faces a possible federal Civil Rights criminal prosecution and a wrongful death civil lawsuit.   I have to ask, when will the hogwash end?  These are incredibly vicious but hollow threats. Let’s talk about a criminal Violation of Civil Rights action.  The facts are not there nor have they ever been outside of the wild imagination of the race baiters. The actual code, Title 18, U.S.C., Section 24 is at the bottom of this article. The case against Zimmerman will not somehow get better with age.  It’s been investigated to death and the only evidence of race related hate came from Trayvon Martin’s own lips when he referred to Zimmerman as a “ crappy assed cracker .” A prosecution here cannot begin with thin air but will require evidence.  It’s just not there.  Public opinion can’t rewrite the law to law somehow snag Zimmerman now. A civil action for a wrongful death under F...

George Zimmerman Sanford, FL --This sad case began with a tragedy.    Travon Martin was a troubled lad who made terrible choices.  The data recovered from his cell phone and was later unlawfully hidden from George Zmmerman’s defense lawyers by prosecutors showed that Martin was heavily involved with illegal guns, drugs and fighting.  Judge Debra Nelson later ruled that cell phone evidence inadmissible and that was not at all unusual in our courts.  It may seem unfair to some but that’s what they normally do. As for Martin he apparently had personal issues with what he called, “crappy assed crackers” and was the one actually profiling Zimmerman clearly by race.  To me it’s logical and believable that Martin caused his own death by assaulting Zimmerman.  However we all must recognize that there are no witnesses or video to establish this fact with absolute 100% certainty. We must not never lose sight of is the fact that we don’t req...

Sanford, FL —a young, athletic and hooded thug with lots of texting messages about guns, fighting and drugs, Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman .  While bashing the neighborhood watch volunteer’s brains out on the sidewalk the young thug was shot dead.  It turns out that our Federal tax dollars were used to organize anti-Zimmerman protests demanding a legal lynching. Attorney General Eric Holder can be thanked for that waste of cash.  The already divided nation has an agenda that has nothing to do with this isolated shooting in Florida.  This is about clashing races and attitudes about Gun Control. There are those that hate guns or are African-American and intolerant of Whites that want Zimmerman’s blood.  They don’t really care who was beating whom. They want Zimmerman to be publicly hanged. Then there are bigoted Whites that believe the only good African-Americans are the dead ones.  After that there are a lot of people of b...

Los Angeles, CA —As a cop and private eye with a career that spans 40 years I’ve seen more trials first hand than most lawyers.   I never went to law school but have learned a lot in the, Monkey See Monkey Do School of Law .   Along the way police academies and in loads of seminars filled in a lot of information blanks.  I have worked with lawyers from the woefully inept to the very gifted and greatest. Many lawyers have built great reputations along with their egos over decades of success.  Unfortunately many of the old warhorses have not embraced computer technology or the incredible power of the Internet and Social Media .  Instead they delegate any computer assisted litigation efforts to secretaries and law clerks.  That’s a huge and sometimes deadly mistake.   For most lawyers exploring the uncharted area of Social Media seems simple enough but actually making contributions to the mix present frightening tactical gambles alon...

Sanford, FL —Okay I said it.  I just don’t see this any other way.  I really hope I’m somehow wrong.  Unfortunately, history supports all of my fears.  What’s past is prologue, always.   Our nation has never been so racially divided or hypersensitive.  The George Zimmerman prosecution has not been able to deliver to the jury the venom and hype the media and the Whitehouse promised.  The allegations of a race based stalking style murder of an innocent lad have been exposed in court as pure baloney. That Martin/Zimmerman case was a simple instance of justifiable homicide resulting from the use of very necessary deadly force to stop an attack by an athletic young thug.  It is now more than clear that Trayvon Martin used a sidewalk as a deadly weapon in his effort to murder George Zimmerman by bashing out his brains.    Zimmerman will be finally cleared shortly.  The ignorant masses are not watching the trial...

George Zimmerman seen here with his broken nose.  Sanford, FL —We now know that George Zimmerman has obviously been charged with murder for purely political reasons.  The case was filed under pressure from the Whitehouse and Martin family lawyers seeking extortion blood money.  We watched as prosecutors put on their star witness Rachel Jeantel  who self-destructed in a tidal wave of perjury.  Every witness called did nothing to make a case of murder or even a lessor offense. In this video you can watch as George Zimmerman fresh with real injuries to his face and head explains every step of his encounter with Trayvon Martin .  This is by far the best evidence since it was contemporaneous to the shooting and Zimmerman has no lawyer advising him.  I question the wisdom of Zimmerman talking to police at all but I don’t see any possible impeachment to what he said during this recreation video interview. 

Judge Debra Nelson will have a target on her back wherever she goes... Sanford, FL —The explosive and racially charged trial of George Zimmerman has generated massive hateful and threatening chatter on the Internet.  That venom has intensified as prosecutors have floundered.  We’ve watched every witness prosecutors call deliver significantly more evidence favorable to the accused.  The remaining state’s witnesses such as the medical examiner are not going to change the reality that Travon Martin was an athletic, young, racist thug.  Martin senselessly attacked, disfigured and attempted to murder Zimmerman by bashing his head into a sidewalk.  That placed Zimmerman in legitimate fear of his life and justified the use of deadly force.  This evidence was established without the defense calling a single witness.   This failure by prosecutors to deliver to the jury what they promised has not gone unnoticed by African-American trial watch...

Star Witness Rachael Jeantel Sanford, FL —The reason that George Zimmerman was not arrested was that no probable cause existed.   Then the family attorney Ben Crump produced a game changing witness, 19 year-old Rachael Jeantel . Prosecutors used her statements to indict George Zimmerman for murder.   Jeantel allegedly was in a telephone conversation with Travon Martin during the moments that lead up to his death. Prosecutors engaged in outrageous behavior by having Jeantel interviewed in the close presence of Travon Martin’s parents.   Now Jeantel said she actually lied to please them.   Jeantel has confrssed to telling lies, using phony names and ages surrounding this case. Jeantel appears to be at least borderline mentally retarded and definitely incredibly ignorant. Martin’s family, prosecutors and others have obviously tampered with this witness.   Now she is being relentlessly cross-examined by defense attorney Don West . It’s d...
