Businesses cash in on Trayvon Inc.

An iconic photograph of a young Trayvon Martin in his Bulldogs football uniform, staring stone-faced into the camera, has been published in print and online around the world.

The Optimist Club team photographer, Lucricia Woodside of North Miami, owns the copyright to the picture and never authorized its use. Now she is a member of a growing number of entrepreneurs, artists and even some opportunists who have found ways to cash in on a new cottage industry.
Call it Trayvon Inc.

Woodside’s attorney sent letters earlier this month to news organizations and bloggers advising that after the teen’s death, her company, Photos “R” Us, registered the photo’s copyright, and anyone who published it owes her license fees. She seeks $500 from those who published the picture before she registered the copyright and $750 for those who ran it afterward. The lawyer identified at least 300 unauthorized uses of the photo, which was clearly marked as belonging to Photos “R” Us.

The family of a 17-year-old African-American boy shot to death last month in his gated Florida community by a white Neighborhood Watch captain wants to see the captain arrested, the family's lawyer said on Wednesday.

Trayvon Martin was shot dead after he took a break from watching NBA All-Star game television coverage to walk 10 minutes to a convenience store to buy snacks including Skittles candy requested by his 13-year-old brother, Chad, the family's lawyer Ben Crump said.
"He was a good kid," Crump said in an interview, adding that the family would issue a call for the Watch captain's arrest at a news conference on Thursday. "On his way home, a Neighborhood Watch loose cannon shot and killed him."

Trayvon, who lived in Miami with his mother, had been visiting his father and stepmother in a gated townhome community called The Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, 20 miles north of Orlando.

I am not going to debate GZ' true ethnicity, but white hispanics are and most do live as whites. Just like any race that is mixed with african american is considered black. But these things are changing, mixed races are being identified more detailed than before.

Zimmerman Tapes: Variations Versus Differences by Jeralyn at TalkLeft

If George Zimmerman told the exact same story over the course of days, people would say it was rehearsed and false. Variations are to be expected, human memory is not like a video recorder, it changes over time.

Robert Zimmerman JR‏@ rzimmermanjr - 8m ago
For those who much of the word "unarmed" - The sidewalk works just fine as a deadly weapon. Could've killed GZ 2/26

Yep. It's the banging the head on concrete that escalates it to felony aggravated assault and battery.

As you know, those are forcible felonies and the victim can shoot to stop a forcible felony. No fear of life required, no retreat required, just shoot to stop the forcible felony.

All the evidence actually proves self defense, and nobody has provided one shred of evidence zimmerman committed any crime.

Actually, I don't think so: (you are in another county, Google said)

"According to the United States Census Bureau, Seminole County had a population of 430,838 people in 2012, which means residents have less than one percent of a chance - .116 percent - of getting one of those jury summons."

News 13 legal analyst Mark Nejame said attorneys have a tough job ahead of them when picking a jury for the June trial.

An acquittal could spark protest, and it could have a long-term effect on Sanford and Seminole County, where the jurors live.

News 13 asked Nejame if that could factor into their decision.

“It can be a factor without question, and I think it is going to be incumbent on the parties, and the judge in this case, to have a sequestered jury the entire time. I think there will be people attempting to get to the jurors, through intimidation, by putting out information that might help bias or prejudice them.”

Ouch!

What justification does the state have in providing redacted statements from interviews?

Interesting files on some of the witnesses.

I wonder how many black jurors they need to pick to "do him in" for sure...

12, half, more than half ..... ?

Any comments?

 

[spidey07]

Nobody paying attention to the obvious coaching by crump, essentially telling her what to say? The entire recording of DeeDee is a scam. The entire case is based of DeeDee who essentially is only following orders from Crump on what to say. Notice they had to do this "interview" AFTER the call tapes were released. That way they could concoct a story the "fit" with the call. That's why they wanted those tapes released.

Straight up travesty of justice all perpetuated by a racist attorney and family.

(4) O’Mara provides a section of Crump’s coaching of Dee Dee, a matter about which he lied in his affidavit, though O’Mara merely says it “contradicts” Crump’s affidavit:

Mr. Crump: OK. I wanna stop you and I want to have you say all that over again just that part there and I want you to uh, tell about how he said, how Trayvon said, ‘I thought I lost him’ and then, yeah I want you to start off right there, ‘I thought I lost him, and then he caught up,’ I want you to do it loud and slow, ok? So I can get it. Because I remember you said Trayvon, you told Trayvon to run home and so I want you to say that—

Witness 8: No. Trayvon, will, I told Trayvon to run home because I thought he had said he lost him, so Trayvon told me (Crump interrupts)

Mr. Crump: Ok

Witness 8: he’s gonna run for it

Mr. Crump: Ok. Let me do this here. Le me have you start over just that there ok, and say it loud and slow for me. Ok?

Witness 8: Alright.

Mr. Crump: Ok, a one, two, three…

Witness 8: Trayvon run for it.

Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure
3.270. Number of Jurors

Twelve persons shall constitute a jury to try all capital cases, and 6 persons shall constitute a jury to try all other criminal cases.

Committee Notes

1968 Adoption. Except for substituting the word “persons” for “men,” the suggested rule is a transcription of section 913.10, Florida Statutes. The standing committee on Florida court rules raised the question as to whether this rule is procedural or substantive and directed the subcommittee to call this fact to the attention of the Supreme Court.

1972 Amendment. Same as prior rule.

Yeah, I saw it. I think it's shocking.

I think this judge is either terribly incompetent or horribly biased. Frankly, I believe it the latter and suspect this is why MOM seems reluctant to request a SYG hearing (or whatever the technical name is).

Going over the judge's head for not allowing O'Mara to dispose the witness Crump is not something lawyers normally do. It gets them on the bad side of the judge even before the trial, who would be making any determination of preponderance of evidence at a self defense hearing.

So O'Mara already knows the judge is highly biased and is doing everything he can to legally combat it. Time to send Z-man some more money.

You can read the entire petition to depose crump here, I'm sure it's already been posted but it's a good read. The whole thing stinks and no argument can be made as to why defense should not be able to depose this important witness.

Our courts seems no better than those of Italy or other inept countries.

Yet the left and Obama admin strive to have terrorism cases tried in civilian courts, to the detriment of potentially gaining valuable info on terrorist groups etc., because they claim it will hold up our court system to world so they can marvel at it.

What a load of huey.

horrbly biased, i'd say...

thanks for the info Londo ... so 6 then not 12 .. even worse ... the less jurors - the less chances, I think..

like make it one juror ONLY ... and let the juror be CN from CW ... and then see what happens :biggrin:
