George Zimmerman Pleads Not Guilty In The Murder Of Teenager Trayvon Martin

Two White Males Badly Beat Black Teen For Walking Through Their Neighborhood
Eliyahu and Avi Werdesheim were driving through their neighborhood as apart of a local volunteer crime watch, pulled up next to the 15-year-old African-American and yelled, "You wanna mess with us, you don't belong around here, get outta here!" They threw the unarmed teen to the ground, smashed him over the head with a radio causing a cut and broke his wrist, during the savage assault.
The Werdesheim brothers were arrested for the aforementioned crimes and are trying to distance themselves from George Zimmerman. They now seek to "postpone and move their trial because of publicity comparing their case" to that of Trayvon Martin. It is very sad and disheartening that these racially motivated crimes are happening.
Eliyahu and Avi Werdesheim, who are white and Jewish, have claimed self-defense in the 2010 incident, saying the teen was holding a nail-studded board. The trial, which had been set to begin Monday in Baltimore, has been postponed six times...
The Werdesheims are accused of beating a 15-year-old boy who was walking through a Baltimore neighborhood in November 2010. The brothers pulled up next to the teen in a vehicle, then got out and confronted him, according to charging documents. The passenger threw the teen to the ground and the driver hit him in the head with a hand-held radio and patted him down...

George Zimmerman Made $200,000 From Murdering Defenseless Teenager Trayvon Martin
Circuit Court judge Kenneth Lester Jr said he wanted to scrutinize the account to learn more about who opened the site, who managed it and exactly how much money it contained.
The site called "Therealgeorgezimmerman.com" was closed earlier this week after Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara took control over and deposited the money in trust accounts, he told the court today. Zimmerman faces second-degree murder charges for shooting 17-year-old Martin on February 26.
In a CNN interview Thursday, O'Mara said he was surprised to learn about the money. "He asked me what to do with his PayPal accounts, and I asked him what he was talking about," O'Mara said. "He said those were the accounts that had the money from the website he had. And there was about ... $204,000 that had come in to date."...

Killer George Zimmerman Shuts Down His Ill-Advised Web Site After Collecting $200,000 Off The Murder Of Teen Trayvon Martin
Zimmerman's site was offensive in its content and soliciting donations for himself and his family. According to his attorney, Zimmerman collected $3,000 from the effort. His attorney stated these funds did not go to his legal defense. His lawyers have been trying to paint a more sympathetic picture of Zimmerman, stating his murderous deeds came from the fact there had been many break-ins by blacks in his neighborhood, known as "The Retreat" in Sanford, Florida.
Well, Zimmerman should have done exactly what the name of his neighborhood says and "retreat" then wait for police, rather than wrongly assuming every black male is a thief and thug. Zimmerman's assumptions and open violation of neighborhood watch rules, squarely led to the death of Trayvon Martin, an innocent teenage kid on his way to his dad's home. Martin didn't deserve what happened to him. It's time to accept responsibility for that, as he has lost his life.
To use the excuse of repeated break-ins is rubbish. My previous home was broken into over a dozen times by Madonna's crazy Kabbalah cult (and as later seen in the phone hacking case), who kept illegally breaking in to steal files, copyrighted DVD-ROM and CD-ROM discs that contained OFFLINE copies of Library of Congress registered songs, videos, movie scripts and other intellectual property I authored, that were later criminally used by Madonna and her associates without permission. They did this to get around the fact I'd stopped authoring new copyrights on my computers that went online, choosing to use an offline unit and burn the files to DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs.
In life, you choose your response to crisis, whether you will follow the law or break it in seeking revenge against any and everybody you think may be guilty. You can't take the law into your own hands. At the end of the day, God always has the final say and brings justice on terms the courts never could, when they fail.
Supporters hoped he would use it to tell his side of the story, but he did not. Instead, the low-tech site featured an American flag as well as quotes, including one from patriot Thomas Paine, and a PayPal donation link, allowing supporters to make credit-card contributions. O'Mara on Monday toldCNN'sAnderson Cooper that that website and another had generated about $3,000 in donations.

George Zimmerman Released From Jail And Is Looking Very Jumpy And Nervous
The apprehension expressed on his face could have to do with the bounty placed on his head over the unprovoked killing of Martin he initiated. Many are angry Zimmerman received bail and his family and lawyers fear for his safety. Sadly, Zimmerman brought this on himself and a world of grief and sorrow on the Martin family.

George Zimmerman Should Not Have Received Bail In The Trayvon Martin Murder Case For The Following Reasons
The latest development in the Trayvon Martin case adds insult to injury. George Zimmerman, who murdered unarmed, underage African-American teen, Trayvon Martin, right before issuing a racial slur regarding him on 911 tapes, was inappropriately granted $150,000 bail and is set to go free pending trial.
Judge Kenneth R. Lester Jr., made the wrong decision in granting Zimmerman bail, for a murder that was not self-defense, as prescribed by the controversial "Stand Your Ground" act, because he is the aggressor and instigator that broke the law and neighborhood watch rules, via carrying a loaded gun, acting as self-appointed captain.
In the interest of fairness, a new photo was released yesterday showing a few trickles of blood coming from the back of Zimmerman's head, which he alleges were inflicted by Trayvon Martin. However, he stalked, chased, approached and got into a violent confrontation with the scared teen and said superficial wounds could be the result of that struggle, with Trayvon, the victim, who was being unlawfully pursued, acting in self-defense.
I state this, because I have no idea when the photos were taken, as Commissioner Lee acting in collusion with George Zimmerman's dad, Judge Robert Zimmerman, acted very inappropriately, engaged in a cover-up, did not collect the proper evidence and Zimmerman, despite his claims of significant injury allegedly inflicted by Trayvon, declined to go to the hospital and was walking around like nothing happened.
Zimmerman's credibility is non-existent, as his story has changed so many times he cannot be believed.
Zimmerman has stated Trayvon came up to him and circled his car five times before attacking him. However, a witness, Martin's girlfriend, who was on the phone with him, disputes the story and 911 tapes reveal Zimmerman was chasing the teenager, against the authorities advice and instructions.
911 tapes also corroborate the witness statements of Martin's girlfriend that "creepy" and "crazy" Zimmerman was aggressively and illegally stalking Trayvon, who was scared and in fear for his life. We know Trayvon was scared because:
Zimmerman has consistently lied throughout the case and cannot be believed. In the legal world, you are taught to look for inconsistencies and constantly changing stories, to determine if a person is lying. Based on the facts of the case, Zimmerman is lying.
Judge Lester disrespected the substantial efforts of civil rights advocates and peaceful protestors, who lawfully fought to gain justice for Martin, while keeping the peace and keeping the public calm during this terrible case. Why would you release a mentally unstable, violent, trigger happy man, who attacked a cop, his ex-fiancée and racially profiles black people, murdering a kid for lawfully walking on a public street in his family's neighborhood.
People have been begging the public to remain calm and not react with violence, due to the awful injustices stemming from this case and Judge Lester flushes it all down the toilet with the bang of his gavel. It was within his discretion to remand Zimmerman into custody, due to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the case and he did not - much like the accused murderer's father, Judge Zimmerman, publicly proclaimed he would not issue an arrest warrant for the acts his son is accused of, which says it all. Can you say corruption.
Note that when Zimmerman was finally arrested weeks after the murder, the Judiciary Report commented "it is a beginning" because the site has seen and documented so much corruption coming from the justice system, some stunt was expected and here it is via this latest corrupt act.
The government needs to wake up and smell the coffee. While I do not wish for it to happen, based on what I have read online throughout this case, if you release Zimmerman he will be killed. If you acquit Zimmerman, he will be killed. Riots will ensue and billions in property damage and losses - not to mention, more loss of life. This needn't happen, but you are failing the public with these acts of corruption.
Side Bar: it should be noted, to the gun owning members of the American public, the Judiciary Report is not attempting to challenge your constitutional right to carry a gun (though I do not and never have owned a weapon). The site is challenging anyone's conduct in stalking, confronting and murdering anyone of any color, as this is a sin against God and man, which is criminal and positively wrong. That is not self-defense. It is outright murder.

Judge Recuses Herself In The Trayvon Martin Case Over Conflict Of Interest
It Was The Right Decision
Jessica Recksiedler
Judge Jessica Recksiedler has removed herself from the Trayvon Martin murder trial, concerning the 17-year-old murder victim, who was killed by George Zimmerman, 28, after an incident of racial profiling. Judge Recksiedler disclosed the conflict of interest, after it was revealed her husband worked with a CNN employee Zimmerman asked to represent him.
George Zimmerman
Recksiedler stated in her ruling, “The cumulative effect of the events and the totality of the circumstances provides a legally sufficient basis for this Court to grant the Motion to Disqualify.” The new judge on the case is Kenneth R. Lester Jr. Some judges hang on to cases they should not, due to conflict of interest, believing they can get away with bias. At least Recksiedler recused herself, as to do otherwise could have tainted the case.

Trayvon Martin's Brother Denounces Murderer George Zimmerman's Lies And Characterizations Of The Slain Teen
Jahvaris Fulton, the older brother of 17-year-old murder victim, Trayvon Martin, did an interview recently, recalling happy memories of his brother. Martin shared his belief the teen did not get into a confrontation with his killer, George Zimmerman, who irrationally racially profiled and stalked unarmed Trayvon, then murdered him on February 26, 2012 in Sanford, Florida.
Jahvaris Fulton
University student Fulton stated his honor student brother was, "Going to be someone." He also stated regarding the unprovoked shooting, "Everything I heard was from Zimmerman's perspective. It didn't sound like my brother at all. That my brother attacked him and did all this stuff. It doesn't sound like him at all. He wasn't confrontational or violent."
Trayvon Martin
Zimmerman's actions nearly incited a race war, taking the wrong tone and turn, via more violence and racism, in the murder of 3 black people, the beating of an Hispanic teen and the assault of a Caucasian man, in professed retaliatory attacks. An automated road sign message in Michigan was also hacked and replaced with the terrible slur, "Trayvon is a ni*ger." Zimmerman owes the Martins and the nation and apology for what his illegal deeds touched off.

George Zimmerman Makes His First Appearance In Court Charged With Second Degree Murder In The Death Of Trayvon Martin
George Zimmerman made his first appearance in court today, charged with second degree murder, in the death of unarmed 17-year-old, Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman stood stone-faced, his eyes somewhat wild at times, as he surveyed the room. Standing in the courtroom shackled and wearing prison gear, with a blank expression, Zimmerman answered a few questions from the judge.
It is being reported Zimmerman intends to plead "not guilty" in the senseless and tragic murder of Martin, which could have been avoided, had the self-appointed neighborhood watch captain listened to 911 admonishments to leave the unarmed teen alone.
Zimmerman's new mugshot
However, Zimmerman pursued and ended up murdering law abiding Martin, who was simply walking home to his family's home in the gated community, with food he bought to watch the NBA All Star game on television. Zimmerman played judge, jury and executioner in Martin's illegal death and now he shall face his peers to answer for these crimes.

George Zimmerman Has Finally Been Arrested And Charged With The Murder Of Trayvon Martin
During a press conference in Orlando, Florida today, State Attorney Angela Corey announced that self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, 28, has been charged in the death of Trayvon Martin, 17, in connection with the unarmed teen's murder on February 26. 2012. Initially Sanford, Florida officials stated there would be no charges or arrest, but due to immense public outcry, special prosecutor Corey was appointed and second degree murder charges have been filed.
Trayvon Martin
The Judiciary Report hoped for first degree murder charges, as stated yesterday, but at least Zimmerman has been charged. It's a beginning. He is now in custody in the State of Florida, one day after his lawyers quit, reporting at their own press conference he is mentally unwell and fled the state. This confirmed what the Judiciary Report stated last week - Zimmerman is mentally ill and criminally insane (Actions Of Sanford, Florida Officials In The Trayvon Martin Case Endangering America and George Zimmerman Fits The Profile Of A Stalker). His pattern of irrational and unlawful behavior over the past several years shows it.
Trayvon Martin as a child
After having dealt with criminally insane stalkers in Miami, Florida, who are apart of a deranged religious cult, one is able to detect the signs associated with such sick and unlawful behavior. The Judiciary Report retains its view that Martin is a victim of crime that was minding his own business, but was stalked, attacked and murdered by a man with mental issues and a chip on his shoulder regarding black people he routinely racially profiled, as revealed by many 911 tapes.
George Zimmerman
One is not suspicious for being black (or any color) or wearing a hoodie. America is known as a free country. Martin was allowed to wear whatever he wanted and walk wherever he felt like in the communal areas of his neighbor. For a person to be labeled suspicious for lawfully enjoying his freedoms and killed for it is a great injustice that must be properly addressed in a court of law. The Judiciary Report sends its deepest condolences to the Martin family as this truly is a terrible tragedy.

Murderer George Zimmerman Has Gone Missing In Trayvon Martin Case Prompting His Lawyers To Quit
This case has turned into a major fiasco the government of Sanford, Florida should be ashamed of in every way. Killer George Zimmerman, who murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin for lawfully walking the streets of his family's neighborhood has left the state of Florida and is now missing. His pro bono attorneys have quit, as they have lost contact with him, he has set up a self-defeating, incriminating website and talked to members of the press, such as race baiting Fox News commentator, Sean Hannity.
Trayvon Martin's parents Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton are rightfully demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman
The talk show host has been talking about Martin in the worst terms for weeks, in spite of the fact he is a minor and the victim of crime, which has encouraged Zimmerman. How can it be right to talk about a deceased boy like this. If it were Hannity's child dead on the ground under the same circumstances, he would not be promoting such lawlessness (I don't wish it on Hannity, as violence is wrong). He would want justice. Hannity has debased Fox News even more. His comments about Martin are disgusting.
Trayvon Martin
The Stand Your Ground law is being twisted and is a danger to everyone - black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Indian - in the 24 states it has been adopted. Violent people could go up to and kill others they dislike for whatever terrible reason and invoke the Zimmerman defense of imagined suspicion. This is the precedent the government of Sanford, Florida has set in the nation, via their actions or should I say inaction and it is a dangerous one.
George Zimmerman
It should not matter what color Martin is - a human being has died and under terrible circumstances that constitute first degree murder. A scared and frightened boy died a terrifying death no one should face. It cannot be tolerated. Justice must be served in this matter.

George Zimmerman's Website Is Not Doing Him Any Favors In The Trayvon Martin Case
Ambiguous Site Begging For Money Creates More Questions Than Answers
Trayvon Martin and relative
In a desperate bid to address the enormous amount of public anger being directed at him, George Zimmerman, the man that murdered unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, in a race based killing, has launched a website that is not helping his cause (http://therealgeorgezimmerman.com).
The pages of the site are titled "The Real George Zimmerman" "My Race" "The Facts" and "Contact." Zimmerman is begging for money online to support his family and for his legal case. Under the circumstances it is inappropriate. Profiting from crime is wrong.
Under the "My Race" page it states, "'The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.' - Thomas Paine." That does not answer the question he posed, as some have inquired on his ethnic background, due to the circumstances surrounding the case.
Zimmerman's dad is white and his mother Hispanic. The main reason race has come up in this murder is squarely due to Zimmerman. He made so many calls to 911 reporting individuals he labeled suspicious black males, one even as young as age 7, indicating blatant racial profiling. Zimmerman is also heard using the slur "f*cking coons" on the 911 tape.
George Zimmerman
Zimmerman asserts "I assure you the facts will come to light." No set of facts will explain Zimmerman stalking and confronting Martin, in an incident that ended in murder. Zimmerman started and caused this tragic incident. Zimmerman is heard on the 911 tapes breathing heavily as he ran after Martin, who was a scared kid trying to get away from the "crazy" and "creepy" man following him around on a rainy night, which sadly would be his last on earth.
Under the "album" page, Zimmerman posts photos of graffiti laden walls bearing support for him, by people who have broken the law in defacing others' property. In one incident, pro-Zimmerman statements were spray painted on community center in an African-American neighborhood to cause distress.
Zimmerman complains on the site, "As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life." However, Martin lost his life. There's no comparing who suffered the greater injury. Furthermore, this situation is of Zimmerman's own making. He cannot complain.
I believe had Martin survived the shooting, he would have labeled Zimmerman a criminal and a liar, professing he did not do anything to him on that fateful night.
Zimmerman had no authority under the law to stalk, confront, harass and or murder anyone, as he did to Martin. This entire crime and the fall out thereof is squarely Zimmerman's fault and he continues to perpetuate lies to defend the indefensible that has already cost others their lives, as it was reported three African-Americans were killed by two gunmen in support of Zimmerman.
It is time for Zimmerman to confess to God and the Martin family, asking both for forgiveness. Stop the charade and cover up.
The public also needs to keep its cool and not become enraged to the point people commit acts of violence, as has been seen in incidents against blacks, whites and Hispanics over the past couple weeks. Stop turning on each other. Things must not escalate out of control, because once that fire is lit, it will rage unchecked for a time doing significant damage. This is not the answer.

Due Diligence Or Poor Governance?
Trayvon Martin
The government of Sanford, Florida continues to drag its feet in the murder of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was killed by 28-year-old, lawbreaking, armed vigilante, George Zimmerman, though so much is at stake.
The Sanford government is endangering America, as people are threatening to riot and burn things to the ground in the event Zimmerman is not charged or is acquitted. Once again, the Judiciary Report does not advocate violence, but what is being written and stated online and in public by many is not something to be ignored.
This brings me to my question - is the government of Sanford acting under the auspices of due diligence or poor governance. I think it is the latter. Lives and billions of dollars in property all over America is at stake if the wrong decisions are made in this case. Yet, here we have officials of a municipality, running amok, covering up crimes and violating the Civil Rights Act in the process.
George Zimmerman
At the heart of the matter is George Zimmerman, a man whose criminal conduct is not worth all this trouble. It is poor governance to do this under the circumstances, via jeopardizing lives and property over a vigilante.
When I read Zimmerman attacked a cop a few years ago, that's all I needed to know to realize he is a reckless instigator and aggressor, who is not all there. I repeat, he attacked a cop. Seriously, who does that. It's instant jail or death (well, unless daddy's a corrupt judge). What's he going to do next? Bite a bear? Slap a shark?
A good psychologist can bring the truth out regarding Zimmerman's mental state, as he has a problem to be going around attacking innocent people - something he has done three times with impunity.

The Question Is What's Taking The Government So Long To Make An Announcement
Trayvon Martin
One of the top stories in the world right now that is not reflecting well on the government of Sanford, Florida, is the murder of 17-year-old African-American, Trayvon Martin, who was killed by 28-year-old George Zimmerman, in a racially charged incident. It has been announced via the mayor of Sanford, Jeff Tripplett, the city is prepping for the worst, while waiting for state attorney, Angela Corey, to announce whether Zimmerman will be prosecuted for the February 26, 2012 murder of the unarmed teen.
Martin was in compliance with the law, Zimmerman was not, via stalking, civil rights act violations, assault and murder. He also violated the neighborhood watch rules in patrolling the community with a gun. Zimmerman is the stalker and aggressor. He is the one clearly in the wrong. Had he followed the law and local rules, none of this would have happened. Let's establish and accept that painful fact and not pretend this was all somehow lawful.
If Zimmerman is not charged or is acquitted, the fall out will spread well beyond Sanford and billions of dollars in damage could ensue. I am not encouraging violence or wishing for it, but anyone reading the internet will realize, many are threatening it if justice is not served. I'm not a cynic - I'm a realist. I know what I have been reading on many websites, via comments submitted in feedback sections. People are angry.
George Zimmerman
For some black people, in what has been dubbed "post racial America" the Martin murder has come as a shock, nasty slap in the face and reopened terrible wounds from the civil rights era. However, I'm not surprised by what transpired regarding Martin's killing, as I have experienced and written for years of terrible human rights abuses, including aggravated stalking and attempted murder in Florida and though it was reported to the appropriate authorities, they took bribes and swept it under the rug.
All is not equal and injustice is running rampant. Corruption is costly. It's not worth the trouble. It is better to do the right thing in the first place.
Already, the government, both local and federal, have lost money on this case. Businesses in the city of Sanford is also losing money. One restaurant owner reported losing $10,000 per week. Other businesses have been suffering as well, due to the terrible stigma attached to the city. They are losing tourist dollars. The federal government is trying to run damage control and has launched its own investigation, which will end up costing a significant amount of money as well.
The Retreat in Sanford, Florida where Trayvon Martin was killed
Many people know about this story. The ink that has been spilled due to this murder is massive, as the story has been featured in just about every major newspaper of the world, on international television and in the blogosphere. Mayor Trippet is hoping to counter that stating, "Those that would like to make this a defining moment for the city of Sanford are wrong, and we just have to make sure that we do a good job of making sure that that's not our lasting image." However, it is a defining moment, because the local government failed to do the right thing.
It's not like the BP oil spill where the company paid for ads to lure tourists back to the affected areas by speaking about the clean up. What would the Sanford ads look like, a government official stating, "Hey, remember that black kid that was killed and we tried to cover it up, well we've cleaned up and want you to come visit." There are some things a PR campaign can't fix.
