Alan Deshowitz, Jeralyn Merritt, Richard Hornsby. There’s 3 off the top of my head. Bricker, there’s four. Now come up with one on the other side that is not a crackpot.
I have no doubt any one I named, you would label a crackpot.
I don’t doubt that either, but you should at least give me the chance to label them such. We already eliminated professor Leatherman. Are there any others?
That’s like a scumbag-defending all-star team. Zimmerman fits in perfectly.
As far as I know, the text messages haven’t been released because O’Mara asked for 30 days to review them before they are released. There is no blanket exception to the sunshine law.

We should be seeing the text messages, although they might redact the telephone numbers.
I’m only hoping he didn’t text anything really stupid. (Like I probably would have done in his situation.)
All defense attorneys have to represent some scumbags. Every once and a while they have the opportunity to defend an innocent man against pitch-fork carrying mobs, whose been maligned by the media, and who has been prosecuted by a system corrupted by political pressure. Someone has to stand up and advocate for this man, Captain George Zimmerman. This is what defense attorneys are for.
How could the insurance company be liable for actions on February 26th when the policy was issued on March 30th, unless the policy was retroactive?
It’s a “claims made” policy, not an “occurrence” policy - it may (and likely does, since it’s not disputed) include an endorsement for prior acts.
It still seems like a very dubious claim with little chance of success, though. The only exception is for “wrongful employment practices.” If it’s anything like the coverage I’ve dealt with for strata/condo associations in my last job, this is only meant to cover situations where employees have been wrongly treated; ie; your caretaker is suing you for wrongful termination, or filing a human rights complaint because they claim they are paid less than is typical because of their ethnicity, etc.
It looks like they are hoping to claim that the HOA failed in their due diligence by employing Zimmerman as a volunteer, but the chances of the policy being interpreted that way approach zero - coverage for these types of situations would be under professional liability or errors and omissions, if they had it at all - and this is ruled out by the quoted clause.
…provided that this exclusion shall not apply" to allegations "made as part of a Claim for Wrongful Employment Practices."
Legally-speaking, how are “volunteers” viewed as “employees” in this case?
Fulton has filed a claim for monetary damages against an insurance company and the company is asking a judge for a legal ruling on whether it’s truely liable. “Asking for” is not the same as actually receiving a payout.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the teen’s family, said that the Martins are investigating possible claims with “ALL the insurance companies that might be applicable” and was seeking to determine “whatever the insurance limits were.”
Fulton appears to be “shopping” her claim to many insurance companies.
That brought a tear to my eye, lol.
Interesting. I looked at the plat map and it appears to me that Trayvon Martin’s head could have been on been on 1211 Twin Trees and his feet were on 1221 Twin Trees. Could both home owners be sued?
I think it’s only a matter of “when” Fulton will sue them.
And if better lighting had been available at the clubhouse, Zimmerman could have plainly seen that Martin was only picking his butt and not doing anything “suspicious”. It’s obviously the fault of the clubhouse’s designer and it’s current owner. :dubious:
If the political motivations of the prosecution of George Zimmerman were not obvious enough before, they should be now.

6:04-6:38 Pam Bondi: “Hey Sybrina, Tracy, are you there. Hi. I am so very, very, sorry. As attorney general, I have absolutely no legal authority to take the case, and I looked, I tried.”
Interesting. Very interesting. And since she couldn’t take the case, who did she (obviously) encourage the governor to appoint? Her friend and Attorney General 2010 campaign chair, Angela Corey.

Angela Corey, of course, was the one who prayed with the parents of Trayvon Martin upon their first meeting, referred to Trayvon as a victim very early on, and who was quite friendly with the protesters calling for Zimmerman’s arrest. At other times simulating impartiality.

“In a* March 29 *letter, a claims analyst with the Attorney General’s Office notified Fulton that she had been deemed eligible for the [victim] compensation benefits.”
George Zimmerman was not arrested until April 11th. Attorney General Bondi had determined that Trayvon Martin was a victim two weeks before Zimmerman was charged with anything.
At this point, I am really hoping that this is investigated, and appropriate action taken. This is obviously not how our justice system is supposed to operate.
While I don’t agree with all of their theories, etc., The Conservative Treehouse definitely seem to have a very compelling case as it relates to Pam Bondi, Corey, and the political decision to prosecute Zimmerman.
Are you saying that GZ is being prosecuted solely for political reasons?
Or are you noting that a case which has drawn national attention has political implications for those involved?
Of course there’s nothing politically motivated in an article from Conservative Tree House with link mouse-over that includes: “traymom-financial-motives,” that’s just crazy talk.
Yes, I’m saying that George Zimmerman is being prosecuted for political reasons, and that this decision was made long before Corey launched her “investigation”.
And it gets much worse. I couldn’t believe that Pam Bondi actually said that the attorneys for Trayvon Martin were “friends of mine”. But yes, this user accurately quoted what she said in the video linked below. Anyway, here is a comment from one of the people on CT with (for Jack Batty) citations for everything.
I added italics, highlights, and a few numbers and comments, but vast majority was put together by the user above.
As I said, I’m talking specifically about the connections with Pam Bondi, Corey, and their obvious inclination to charge Zimmerman long before there was an “impartial” investigation of any kind. It’s all cited. The pictures are real. I’m simply giving credit to the CT and that user for putting the Pam Bondi stuff together.
Why would you find this so shocking? Attorneys know each other. Strange but true.
That she “knew” some attorneys is not the least bit shocking. That she would describe the attorneys representing Trayvon’s parents as her friends is. That she would do so publicly even more so.
