Update on Zimmerman case: Trayvon Martin to go under the public microscope

On Friday, Sept. 14, the Orlando Sentinel stated that in response to the defense seeking Trayvon Martin's social media records and school records, which could show behavioral issues and more about the deceased, that the prosecution will release additional records on the accused next week.
The family of the deceased has called the defense's request for personal records as "character assassination" and a "witch hunt," but any criminal defense attorney worth their salt calls it putting on a complete defense for their accused client.
And since George Zimmerman's own life hangs in the balance in a court of law, it seems prudent for the facts to come out about each male's public and private life and records--especially if something in those records could shed better light on the shooting death.
Naturally, an attorney for the Martin family is saying the request for records which may show the Sanford, Florida shooting victim in a negative light is "an attack" on the deceased, as HLN reports.
Yet if nothing derogatory is found on the dead youth, then what harm is there in requesting records that show him as an exemplary young man without any known gang ties or issues about conduct unbecoming?
Wednesday, Sept. 19 appears to be the date the public will get that answer, with the state slated to release their last batch of evidence regarding the shooting that took the life of the youth on school suspension, and the defense finally obtaining all the data from schools sought 10 days earlier.
And while it is generally the case that school records are not released to the public at large, this is also a nationally headline-generating case with racial repercussions that appear to dictate deviating from the norm in order to keep the public better informed about the facts.
George Zimmerman will be tried in a court of law where facts and evidence will either support an acquittal or prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. But he is being tried in the court of public opinion now. And a federal air marshal, who happens to be a friend of the accused, said on the Dr. Phil TV show that some character facts need to be repeated now, the Kansas City Star reports.

Friday, Sept. 14, 10:13 a.m. EDT: Trayvon's dad: He saved my life: "I think the most heart-wrenching part is knowing that he saved my life and on that fatal day I wasn't there to save his life," Tracy Martin said in a Dr. Phil show interview this week, describing the time his 9-year-old son dragged him from the house to save him from a fire.
Thursday, Sept. 13, 10:45 a.m. EDT: In an episode set to air nationally on Friday, Dr. Phil McGraw offers counseling to Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the Orlando Sentinel reports. In a statement, McGraw said of the parents of the slain teen, "They're left with the questions about what should they or could they have done to prevent this. They're trying to make sense out of this tragic loss, and they're lost."
Wednesday, Sept. 12, 11:05 a.m. EDT: Zimmerman's friend writes book to defend "most hated man in America": Mark Osterman, 44, the friend George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, first called for help on Feb. 26, when her husband shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, has written a book about his "heartbroken and devastated" friend, the Miami Herald reports.
Sept. 11, 9:13 a.m. EDT: Zimmerman lawyers accused of "witch hunt": After last week's announcement by George Zimmerman's defense team that they had subpoenaed Florida teen Trayvon Martin's entire school file from the Miami-Dade public school district -- including test scores, any disciplinary actions and attendance records-- Trayvon's attorney Ben Crump told Reuters, "I think certainly it is a witch hunt to try to find something to attack the character of a dead child, and it's completely irrelevant because his school records had nothing to do with him [George Zimmerman] shooting Trayvon Martin in the heart on February 26."

How many guns does it take to end the killings on Chicago's streets. I will tell you this on Sept 9 2012 ABC News reported that more people died this year allone compaired to the shootings in Kabul, and Iraq combined. This is sad that the state of Illinois and the City of Chicago politicians are gun carrying cowards. They can carry but we the people can not. Something you fucks should learn United we stand divided we fall. We the people are united you the politician will fall. It is time you step down from officer or be forced out with a younger generation. We the people need not to back down from government but they need to bow down and kiss our ass.

Convicted murder dies what a shame he never made it to the table for leatal injection

man sentenced to 40 years in prison for killing a man during a home invasion in 1998 died of blood poisoning and the so-called flesh-eating bacteria, an autopsy has found.
Robert J. Turner, 32, died Friday at the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago's intensive care unit after he was transferred there last Wednesday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Turner was on a medical furlough from the Dixon Correctional Center and was being treated for a number of maladies, including cirrhosis of the liver, authorities said.

An autopsy performed Sunday determined that Turner died of necrotizing fasciitis -- more commonly called the flesh-eating bacteria -- and sepsis and his death was ruled natural, according to the medical examiner's office.

The flesh-eating disorder is a rare but severe type of infection that can destroy the muscles, skin and other underlying tissue.

Turner was 18 when he and two other men were charged with the shooting death of Derek Miles, 18.

Chicago police said Turner and the other men confronted Miles and two companions on the street and demanded money. After Miles and his companions could come up with only $15, one of victims offered to hand over valuables stored in Miles' home.

The victims and robbers went to the home in the 6200 block of South Albany Avenue, police said. While the three suspects collected stereo equipment and other items, Miles slipped away and got a gun from another part of the house.

When Miles returned and confronted the three men, police said someone fired several shots and killed Miles.

Officials from the Illinois Department of Corrections weren't immediately available for comment this morning.

Teachers are going to be forced back to work

Below is the news article on the CTU and CPS Strike. This is wrong although valid of a strike kids are out of class. They are not learning anything at home this is one of the reasons why there is a high drop out rate. If I was the Governor you would be like the cops and firemen. They can not stike under federal law and your asses should not be allowed to strike while school is in session.

 

If there are any CPS teacher's out there did you know while your on strike 1/2 of your class rooms are now getting criminal records and learning some of their constitutional rights by use of the court instead of a class. You all should be fired you have failed to meet the demand of the tax payer who pay your salaries. I hope a court ruling forces you back to work. I also hope you violate that order so we can lock you up.

Chicago teachers back on the picket line this morning pleaded with parents for patience, even as Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he has had enough and is going to court to force an end to the strike now in its second week.
"Parents need to understand," David Temkin, a social worker for Chicago Public Schools, said as he stood outside school headquarters. "We want better schools. Unfortunately, this is the only way we can fight."
Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis met for nearly three hours Sunday with the union's House of Delegates to review a tentative contract that had been brokered after months of negotiation. But the delegates decided to extend the strike at least two more days to give them more time to consider the deal. Several said they were dissatisfied with some of the terms.To read more click here
